Hardware-Free Visitor Management & Access Control Software
Gate Sentry runs visitor check-in at staffed gates from a single tablet, while Sentry Solo handles unmanned gates, doors, and amenities with mobile entry and QR-code visitor access. One platform for every entrance — 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 with zero hardware.
Gate Sentry
Gate Sentry is visitor management software for properties with on-site security staff. Guards manage all visitor check-ins, ID verification, and entry logging 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 hardware-free access control software for unmanned gates, doors, and amenity entrances. Residents open gates with VirtualKey on their phone. Visitors scan the SentrySign QR code and enter a temporary code via VirtualKeypad, no app download required. Built for gated communities, apartments, self-storage facilities, short-term rental communities, and any property that needs secure entry without a guard or callbox.

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 handle check-ins, ID verification, and entry logging from a tablet. Sentry Solo is access control software for unmanned gates, doors, and amenities — residents open access with VirtualKey on their phone and visitors scan a QR code to enter a temporary code, with no guard on site. In short: Gate Sentry is for staffed gates, 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, garages, and amenity entrances like pools and clubhouses. Both run from one cloud platform, so all activity is visible in a single dashboard.
How can it be hardware-free, and does it work with our existing gates?
Everything runs through software on devices you already have — 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, so there's no construction or rewiring to get started.
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, garage gates, pedestrian gates, building and lobby entrances, and amenities such as pools, gyms, and clubhouses — all from the same dashboard.
