Access control for the clubhouse, the pool and every shared space
MyWatchtower gives each resident an individual credential for the clubhouse, the pool, the fitness room, the courts, and the golf facilities, in the same system that runs your main gate. Residents use a mobile credential, a QR code, or a PIN. Your administrators set when each credential expires, and every entry goes into a time-stamped record.
One system for every shared space
One credential per resident
Issue each resident an individual credential in place of a shared key or door code. MyWatchtower supports mobile credentials, QR codes, PIN codes, proximity cards, and fobs.
Rules your administrators set
Set expiration rules from one dashboard. Some credential types can be single-use, time-limited, or recurring. Revoke a lost credential at once.
Guests and vendors
Residents send guest passes from the mobile app. A recurring vendor, such as a pool service or a grounds crew, gets a credential with an expiration date and zone restrictions.
One record for gate and amenities
The same cloud dashboard and audit trail cover the main gate and every door, gate, and amenity access point. Each entry has a timestamp.
Clubhouse doors
The clubhouse is the building that most residents use. Give each resident an individual credential for its doors, and stop the use of a shared code. When a resident moves out, your administrator revokes that one credential. No other resident needs a new code.
Pool gates
A pool gate has the same problem as a clubhouse door: a key or a code that many people share. An individual credential replaces it, and each entry goes into the record.
Fitness rooms
A fitness room is a door inside or near the clubhouse. Add it as its own access point. The resident uses the same credential, and the entry record shows which door the resident opened and when.
Tennis and pickleball courts
Court gates are often far from the clubhouse and have a shared padlock code. Put a reader on the gate, and the courts use the same credentials and the same record as the other amenities.
Golf facilities
A community with a golf course has more doors and gates than most: the cart barn, the maintenance entrance, the golf shop. Put them in the same system as the main gate. Staff and recurring vendors get credentials with an expiration date and zone restrictions.

Pool and Amenity Gate Access
Yes. MyWatchtower supports mobile credentials on compatible Brivo and HID hardware, and QR codes on a resident's phone. It also supports PIN codes, proximity cards, and fobs, so a community can keep its physical credentials. Read how mobile credentials replace key fobs.
Yes. Residents send guest passes from the MyWatchtower mobile app. For a recurring vendor, such as a pool service or a landscape crew, the community can issue a credential with an expiration date and zone restrictions. See HOA visitor management.
Yes. The same cloud platform manages every door, gate, and amenity access point. Your main gate, the pool, and the clubhouse share one dashboard, one resident app, and one activity history. A manager with more than one community can see each site from the same login. See MyWatchtower for property managers.
MyWatchtower works with compatible Brivo or HID controllers. The software is cloud-based, so there is no local server at the pool or the clubhouse. Tell us about your gates when you book a demo. Our guide to Brivo access control for HOAs gives more detail on the hardware.
