Who Uses Gate Sentry

One Platform, Every Role

From the guard at the gate to the visitor pulling up and the administrator overseeing it all — Gate Sentry works for everyone who touches your facility's access.

Security Teams

Clear the Line at the Vehicle Window

Gate Sentry runs on the tablet your guards already carry, so officers can step out to the truck window instead of being tied to a desk. Pre-registered drivers clear in about 10 seconds — scan the SentryPass, confirm the match, wave them through.

  • ~10-second entry: Scan a SentryPass and the verified profile loads instantly
  • Real-time search: Look up anyone by name, company, license plate, or visit history
  • Works offline: Keeps screening and logging during internet or power outages, then syncs automatically
  • Officer certification: Built-in online training course with completion certificates standardizes how every guard processes visitors

Visitors & Contractors

Drivers Arrive Already Checked In

Instead of collecting details at the window, the host sends a one-tap invite and the visitor fills out their own secure form before arriving — name, vehicle, license plate, ID photo, and any required waivers. They reach the gate already verified.

  • Visitor self pre-registration: Contractors and vendors enter their own accurate info ahead of time — no guesswork at the gate
  • SentryPass in the wallet: A verified digital pass is delivered to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet on submission
  • No app to download: The form opens right in the visitor's mobile browser
  • Signed and ready: Waivers, ID uploads, and rules acknowledgments are captured and timestamped before arrival

The Honest Comparison

The Old Way vs. Gate Sentry

Paper logs, spreadsheets, and proprietary gate hardware feel normal because they're familiar. Here's what changes when you replace them with tablet software.

Feature Paper, Excel & Proprietary Hardware Gate Sentry Tablet
Identity Verification Blind trust of handwritten names ID scanning and watchlist checks
On-Site Headcount A static record of past arrivals A real-time, live on-site headcount
Data Privacy Exposes prior visitor data to everyone Encrypted, private visitor records
Check-In Speed A one-to-fifteen-minute bottleneck A ~10-second scan that clears the line
Guard Mobility Bound to a fixed interior desk Handheld mobility for vehicle lanes
No Guard? No Problem

Unmanned Gates or Entrances Run on Sentry Solo

For overnight shifts, back gates, and smaller sites with no officer, Sentry Solo turns unmanned gates into secure self-service access points — no hardware to install.

VirtualKey

Employees open gates and doors from the app — no fobs or cards. Every use is logged and admins control who, where, and when.

VirtualKeypad

Visitors scan the SentrySign QR code to open a secure keypad in their browser — no app, no gate hardware. Enter the code, gate opens.

Visitor Intercom

No code? The visitor searches by address and places a secure call to the right department — names and personal numbers stay private.

Staffed main gate, unmanned secondary gates? Gate Sentry and Sentry Solo run together, one dashboard.

Commercial FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Gate Sentry work for manufacturing and warehouse facilities?
Yes. Gate Sentry is built specifically for high-volume commercial and industrial sites — manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution hubs, and logistics yards. It runs on standard tablets at staffed gates and reception points, with no callboxes, servers, or trenching required.
How long does check-in take at a commercial gate?
Pre-registered visitors clear the gate in about 10 seconds. The guard scans the visitor's SentryPass with the tablet camera, the verified profile loads instantly, the guard taps approve, and the vehicle moves through — replacing the one-to-fifteen-minute manual logbook process.
Do we need to install any hardware?
No. Gate Sentry is a 100% hardware-free SaaS platform. There are no callboxes to wire, no data lines to trench, and no local servers to maintain. It works with the gates you already have and runs on the tablets your guards already carry.
What if we don't have on-site security officers?
No problem — that's what Sentry Solo is for. Sentry Solo is our 100% hardware-free system for unmanned commercial gates, back gates, and entrances. Authorized employees open gates from their phone with VirtualKey, and visitors scan a QR code that launches a secure VirtualKeypad in their mobile browser — no app and no gate hardware required. It even includes a built-in encrypted intercom so visitors can reach the right contact without exposing personal phone numbers. Many sites run both together: Gate Sentry at the staffed main gate and Sentry Solo at unmanned secondary gates, all managed from one dashboard.
What happens at the guard shack if the internet goes down?
Gate Sentry's guard tablets feature full offline capability. Guards keep screening visitors, scanning passes, and capturing entries without interruption, and all logs sync automatically once connectivity is restored.
How are contractors, vendors, and delivery drivers handled?
Departments add expected visitors, vendors, and deliveries through a web portal or mobile app, and visitors can self pre-register their own details before arriving — name, vehicle, license plate, ID photo, and any required waivers. On arrival the information is already verified, so there is no manual data entry at the window.
Can we verify identity and capture documents at the gate?
Yes. Officers can use the tablet camera to photograph driver's licenses, capture vehicle license plates, and record carrier or company details. Every entry is tied to a secure, timestamped digital profile for a complete audit trail.
Can we ban a person or company from the whole facility?
Yes. Administrators can create a property-wide ban that blocks an individual or an entire company across every gate in one step. During check-in the system cross-references the list in real time and alerts the security team on a match.
What reporting and oversight do administrators get?
The Admin Portal lets you search visitor history, generate visitor, contractor, and delivery reports, and store all records securely in the cloud. A reporting dashboard shows security-team performance, your busiest days and times, and visitor and contractor activity.
Do you train our security officers?
Yes. Gate Sentry includes an online officer certification course — a series of 10 videos covering every function, taking about one hour. Each module includes a quiz and officers receive a certificate on completion, so visitor processing is consistent across your facility.
How long does it take to get started?
Because Gate Sentry is hardware-free, there is no construction or IT buildout. We handle the data transfer and configuration for you, and most sites are fully live at the gate within two to four weeks.
