Pool Gate Access Control

Pool and amenity gate access control for HOAs

MyWatchtower gives each resident an individual credential for the pool, the clubhouse, and other amenity gates, 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 credential per resident

Issue each resident an individual credential in place of a shared key or gate 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, 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.

Common Questions

Pool and Amenity Gate Access

A shared key or a shared code is the same for every person. You cannot turn it off for one person, and it leaves no record of who entered. An individual credential belongs to one resident. An administrator can revoke it without a change for the other residents, and each use goes into the entry record.

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.

Administrators issue, manage, and revoke credentials from a central dashboard. They can set expiration rules. Some credential types can be single-use, time-limited, or recurring.

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.

An administrator revokes the credential from the dashboard, and the change is instant. The administrator can then issue a new one. All credential activity is logged and auditable.

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 audit trail. A manager with more than one community can see each site from the same login. See MyWatchtower for property managers.

Every entry and every credential change goes into the MyWatchtower audit trail with a timestamp. The board and the manager read the records from the cloud dashboard.

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.
