Visitor Management & Access Control Software That Eliminates Hardware
Gate Sentry runs visitor check-in at staffed gates from a single tablet. Sentry Solo handles unmanned gates, doors, elevators, and amenities: guests tap SoloPass, vendors enter a VirtualKeypad code, and residents tap to open with VirtualKey. One platform for staffed and unmanned entrances, with no callboxes, keypads, or fob readers to install or maintain.
Visitor Management & Access Control Software
Two solutions to fit your property: Gate Sentry for staffed entrances with on-site security, and Sentry Solo for unmanned, self-service access.
Gate Sentry
Gate Sentry is visitor management software for properties with on-site security staff. Guards scan SentryPass, verify IDs, check in guests and vendors, and log entries from a portable tablet, replacing paper logs and desktop computers. Designed for gated communities, commercial properties, manufacturing sites, and hospitality venues where guards need real-time visitor data and property managers need complete oversight.
Sentry Solo
Sentry Solo is access control software for unmanned gates, doors, elevators, and amenities that eliminates hardware like callboxes, keypads, and fob readers. Guests tap SoloPass, vendors enter a VirtualKeypad code, and visitors without a code use the built-in Intercom, with no app needed. Residents open entrances with VirtualKey in the Gate Sentry app. Designed for gated communities, apartments, self-storage facilities, and short-term rental communities that need secure, flexible access without guards.

Common Questions About Our Software
What's the difference between Gate Sentry and Sentry Solo?
Gate Sentry is visitor management software for entrances with on-site security staff. Guards scan SentryPass, check in guests and vendors, capture ID when required, and log entries from a tablet. Sentry Solo is access control software for unmanned gates, doors, elevators, and amenities. Residents open entrances with VirtualKey, guests tap SoloPass, and vendors scan the SentrySign QR code to enter a VirtualKeypad code, with no guard on site. In short, Gate Sentry is for staffed gates and Sentry Solo is for unmanned ones.
Can Gate Sentry and Sentry Solo run on the same property?
Yes. Many properties use both: Gate Sentry at the staffed main gate and Sentry Solo at unmanned side gates and amenity entrances like pools and clubhouses. Both run from one cloud platform, so all activity is visible in a single dashboard and residents use one app. Properties staffed only part of the day can also use VirtualKeypad during unstaffed hours.
How does it eliminate hardware, and does it work with our existing gates?
Everything runs through software on tablets and phones: a tablet at staffed gates, and residents' and visitors' own phones at unmanned ones. There are no callboxes, keypads, fob readers, or kiosks to buy, install, or maintain. It works with your existing gates and entry hardware, and most properties are live in 30 days or less.
What property types and access points does it support?
The software supports gated communities, apartments and multifamily buildings, self-storage facilities, commercial and manufacturing sites, and hospitality properties. Across those, it controls vehicle gates, pedestrian gates, building and lobby entrances, elevators, and amenities such as pools, gyms, and clubhouses, all from the same dashboard.
