Security at the gate,
logged to the second.
The ArcEntry guard app runs your gatehouse. Guards scan every visitor and vehicle, follow the estate's entry procedure at each access point, and take gate calls from residents — while management sees the full picture, live.
Two barcodes and a photo — the visitor is in.
The guard app replaces the paper visitor book with the two barcodes already in every car: the driver's licence and the vehicle licence disc. The guard scans, snaps any passengers, confirms the destination, and lifts the boom.
Driver's licence & ID scan
PDF417 barcode scanning of South African driver's licences — the guard holds the licence in the frame and the visitor's identity is captured in a second, no typing.
Vehicle disc scan
The vehicle licence disc barcode is scanned straight off the windscreen — registration, make, colour and expiry captured against the visit in one shot.
Passenger photos
Capture a quick photo of each passenger against the visit — a face for every person in the vehicle, not just the driver on the licence.
Visitor & vehicle log
Every entry and exit is a searchable, timestamped record against the destination unit — audit-ready without a single line of handwriting.
Gate calls to residents
A registered SIP endpoint at the gatehouse — the guard sees the tenant directory for the site and calls the unit directly to confirm a visitor is expected.
Silent kiosk updates
Devices are paired per access point and update themselves in the background — no guard ever has to tap "install", no shift is ever running last week's build.
Three screens, one shift.
The guard app runs on the rugged handheld at the gatehouse or on a consumer phone. The guard lives in three places: the visit wizard, the vehicle lookup, and the access-point switch when they hand over.
Built for the gatehouse.
Queues, then syncs
If the gatehouse network drops mid-shift, visits queue on the device and sync the moment it returns. No visitor waits for a spinner, no record is lost.
Any Android device
Runs on the C66 rugged handheld we ship with the estate — and on any consumer Android phone if a stand-in device is needed at short notice.
The estate's rules
Management configures the entry procedure per access point in the portal — the guard app follows it. Change the rules once, every guard is on the new script by the next shift.
The guard app is provisioned per estate.
The ArcEntry guard app isn't a public app-store download — it's a managed kiosk app, paired to your site and access points and updated silently in the background. Talk to us to roll it out at your gatehouse.
