The gate stops being an argument

Residents drive through without stopping. Every visitor, delivery and helper is recorded with a photograph and approved by the flat they came to see — so nobody has to take the guard’s word for it, and the guard never has to take theirs.

INDTHE PROBLEM

A register book proves nothing

A visitor writes a name that may not be his, a flat number he may have guessed, and a time the guard fills in later. Three weeks on, when something has gone missing or a committee is asked who was on the premises, the book answers none of it. Meanwhile residents queue behind that same book every evening.

INDA VISITOR, END TO END

What actually happens at the gate

1

A car arrives at the boom

The ANPR camera reads the plate before it stops. A registered member vehicle opens the barrier automatically — no tag, no sticker, no card that can be lent to a friend.

2

An unknown plate goes to the guard

It is never refused automatically. The guard sees the plate, the photograph and the verdict on his phone, and decides. A resident locked out by a dirty number plate would do more damage than a visitor logged by hand.

3

The guard taps once and photographs the visitor

Name, phone, who they have come to see, and a face photograph — in about ten seconds. People on foot go through the same register: maids, tutors, couriers, all of them.

4

The flat decides, from wherever they are

The resident gets the request with the photograph attached. Allow, decline, or set how long the visitor may stay. If nobody answers, the guard can still let them in on his own name — and that is recorded as exactly that, with his reason.

5

They leave, and that is recorded too

An entry with no exit is the thing worth noticing. The app knows who is still inside, so a visitor who never left is a question somebody can actually ask.

INDWHAT YOU GET

Beyond the barrier

The gate is the reason to buy it. These are the reasons committees keep it.

Members and their vehicles

Every flat, every registered car and bike. A vehicle sold or a flat handed over is one edit, and the barrier stops opening for it that minute.

Approvals on the resident’s phone

With the visitor’s photograph. Residents who would rather not install anything simply drive through — their vehicles are already registered.

Dues, fines and receipts

Who owes what, what was collected, and by whom. Notices can go out over WhatsApp as an add-on, so a dues reminder reaches a phone rather than a noticeboard.

An emergency button at the gate

Raised by the guard, seen by the committee at once, and recorded with who raised it and when it was reviewed.

Routine tasks

Tank cleaning, lift servicing, the things that get forgotten until they fail. Assigned, ticked off, and visible.

Records that answer questions

“Who was at the gate at 11pm on the 4th” is a search, with a photograph at the end of it, not an argument at the next meeting.

INDWHO IT SUITS

Buildings of 40 flats to townships of 5,000

The shape of the problem is the same; only the number of gates changes.

In use A 180-flat society in Mumbai: residents stopped queueing behind the visitor book, and the committee can answer who was at the gate at 11pm on the 4th with a photograph instead of an argument.

INDQUESTIONS

Asked at almost every society

Do all residents need smartphones?

No. Approvals on a phone are for residents who want them. A registered vehicle opens the barrier whether or not anybody in that flat has installed anything, and a guard can always reach a flat the way he does now.

What about maids, tutors and daily help?

They go in the pedestrian register — logged in and out, with a photograph, the same as any visitor. Regulars can be given a pass so it is one tap rather than a form each morning.

Can the guard let somebody in without asking anyone?

Yes, and that is deliberate — a barrier nobody can open at 2am is a worse problem. But it is recorded as his decision, in his name, with his reason attached. The committee sees it.

Who can see the photographs?

The society’s own staff and the resident the visitor came to see. The records belong to the society, and can be exported as an encrypted file only the society’s passphrase opens.

A site visit costs you nothing

We look at the gate, measure the lane, and tell you what the hardware will cost. If it is the wrong fit we will say so — an unhappy site is worse for us than no site.
