Why Communities
Are Switching

CommunityResident
"I never realized how frustrating fobs and keypads were until I didn’t have to use them anymore. Now I just tap my phone and walk in"
Property Manager
"Before Sentry Solo, I spent hours dealing with access requests, lost fobs, and code resets. Now, everything runs itself—residents manage their own guests, and I just oversee it. Total game-changer."
HOA Treasurer
"No hardware, no headaches, and no wasted budget."
Visitor
"Keypads never work when I visit gated communities—it’s always a hassle. With Sentry Solo, I just scanned the QR code, entered my code, and the gate opened instantly. No waiting, no confusion—just in and out."
HOAPresident
"Before, people would share codes, and we had no idea who was actually coming and going. Now, every entry is tracked, and only authorized users get in. It’s real security, not just the illusion of it."
Property Manager
"I used to keep a fob in my car, one on my keychain, and still forgot them half the time. Now, I don’t need anything but my phone."
