A gate security app made for the guard standing at the gate

Big buttons, the guard's own language and only the tools the gate needs. The UrbanGate guard app runs on an ordinary Android phone and replaces the paper register, the intercom and the chat group.

What the guard gets

Scan, register, and know who is inside

  • QR scan. Visitor passes and resident vehicle stickers open in a second with the camera.
  • Search by number plate to find the resident's vehicle and flat quickly.
  • Walk-in registration with a photo, a valid mobile number, the purpose and the number of people with the visitor.
  • A queue of visitors waiting for the resident's answer, and a list of who is inside the society right now.
  • Call the flat from the app when a resident does not answer the request.
  • SOS and guard-task alarms ring on the same phone, each with its own sound.

Made for guards

The guard's language, the guard's hours, more than one society

English, Hindi and Gujarati

The guard chooses the language. Screens, buttons and alerts all follow it, so nothing at the gate depends on reading English.

Two societies, one login

A guard who works at more than one society signs in once. Every alert shows which society it came from.

Only the gate's tools

A guard account cannot add a home as a resident or see the society's money. It sees visitors, vehicles, alarms and tasks.

One tap to be called

Residents and the committee see the society's guards on their dashboard and call one with a tap. SOS and call security

Timed tasks with proof

Pump off, gate check, lights off: the office sets the time and the guards' phones ring until one marks it done. Guard tasks

A record the office can see

Every scan, walk-in and approval is in the society's gate activity, from the office app or the web panel.

A day at the gate

What a guard does with UrbanGate

Sign in with a mobile number

A one-time code by SMS. No passwords to remember or share between shifts.

Scan or register

Guests with a pass and vehicles with a sticker are scanned. Everyone else is added as a walk-in with a photo.

Wait for the resident's answer

The request rings on the resident's phone. The guard sees Allow, Decline or Leave at gate the moment it is tapped.

Answer the alarms

An SOS or a guard task rings full screen. The guard taps "I am responding" or "Done", and everyone else sees it.

Questions

About the guard app

Which phone does the guard need?

An Android phone with a camera and internet. The society usually keeps one phone at the gate that every shift uses.

Can one phone be shared between shifts?

Yes. Each guard signs in with their own mobile number and a one-time code, so the society knows which guard registered each visitor.

Does the guard see the residents' personal details?

The guard sees what the gate needs: flat numbers, vehicles and the answer to a visitor request. The guard cannot see maintenance, payments or the society's records.

Does the app work in Hindi and Gujarati?

Yes. The guard app and its alerts are available in English, Hindi and Gujarati, and each guard picks their own language.
