Security, automated.
Advanced access control for gated communities and commercial properties. Choose a staffed Mission Control setup, a fully automated kiosk — or both.
Two Ways to Run Your Gate
MyWatchtower is a single platform that supports two distinct operational modes. Choose the one that fits your community, or deploy both across different access points.
Staffed Entry
Mission Control Suite
On-site personnel process visitors in real time from the Mission Control Center — the platform's dedicated interface for high-throughput, human-led entry management.
- Real-time visitor processing
- High-throughput queue management
- Resident notification and logging
- Full incident reporting from the gate
Unstaffed Entry
Self-Service Kiosk
A weather-ready touchscreen kiosk mounted at your entry lane. Visitors authenticate independently and the gate opens in seconds — around the clock, with no on-site personnel required.
- PIN code, QR code, or directory call
- Photo captured on every entry
- Cellular / WiFi / Ethernet connectivity
- Battery backup: up to 4 hours
- Optional remote guard monitoring
Both modes feed the same cloud platform, dashboards, and immutable audit trail.
How Visitors Enter
The kiosk gives every visitor a simple, secure path through your gate. Each method maintains a complete record of every interaction.
PIN Code Entry
Residents issue unique PIN codes to expected guests in advance. At the kiosk, the visitor enters the PIN and access is granted instantly.
QR Code Scan
Visitors present a QR code on their phone to the kiosk scanner. The credential is verified instantly and the gate opens in seconds.
Directory & Resident Call
Visitors without a credential search the community directory and place a call to the resident's registered phone. The resident authorizes access with a single key press, from anywhere.
A photo with every entry
Regardless of entry method, the kiosk captures a photo of the visitor at the moment of entry and attaches it to the entry record alongside the timestamp and gate used. If a question ever arises about who entered, the answer is a verified record with a face attached.
Built for scale.
Whether you manage a single private entry or a massive distributed community, MyWatchtower scales with your infrastructure.
Beyond the Gate
The kiosk is the visible part of MyWatchtower. Behind it sits a complete community security platform — accessible from any device, with no servers or IT overhead required.
License Plate Recognition
MyWatchtower's LPR engine automatically reads and logs every vehicle plate that passes through your entry lanes. Approved residents and vendors move through without stopping. Unknown plates are flagged in real time. Every plate, every visit, is captured in a searchable, timestamped record.
Camera Monitoring Hub
Every camera across your community — gate lanes, common areas, amenity spaces, and perimeter — consolidated into a single live dashboard. No more switching between separate systems or hunting through multiple NVR interfaces. Everything is in one place, on any device.
Incident Reporting
When something happens in the community, MyWatchtower gives you a structured workflow to document it, assign it, track it, and close it. File reports from the web dashboard or mobile app with photos, location, severity, narrative, and involved parties — and the right people are notified the moment a report is created or updated.
Access control in your pocket.
The MyWatchtower mobile app gives residents and staff complete control. Issue guest passes, receive entry video alerts, and manage permissions from anywhere in the world.
