Gate Sentry
Southlake, Texas, United States
What it is
Gate Sentry provides visitor management for staffed entrances, with Sentry Solo for self-service access at unmanned entrances. At staffed locations, guards use a tablet to check in visitors, scan SentryPasses, verify IDs and record entries. Passes can be sent by text or email and stored in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. For unmanned entrances, residents have VirtualKey, invited guests have SoloPass, vendors have VirtualKeypad, and unexpected visitors can use Intercom. SoloPass guests do not need an app or account. A cloud dashboard handles access management, live logs, reporting and oversight across multiple properties. Staff can keep logging entries offline on the check-in tablet; activity syncs when the connection returns. Listed security measures include audit trails, device-bound passes, time-limited codes and a property-wide visitor and vehicle ban list. Gate Sentry says it works with existing gate operators and entry systems. The company offers data transfer, role-specific training and 24/7 security-team support, and says most properties are running within 30 days or less. Pricing is on request; there is no free trial.
