Security Guard Software for Gated Communities

Empower your security team with tools that streamline operations, improve communication, and enhance community safety.

The Challenges Guards Face Daily

Security guards are the frontline of community protection, yet they often work with outdated tools that slow them down. EntranceIQ equips guard teams with modern software that makes their work faster and more effective.

Paper logs icon
Paper Logs & Manual Records

Handwritten incident reports and visitor logs are slow to create, hard to search, and easy to lose. Digital tools replace paper with instant, searchable records that are always available.

Communication gaps icon
Communication Gaps

Without a central system, guards rely on phone calls and radios to reach residents and management. EntranceIQ connects everyone through a single platform with real-time notifications.

Slow response icon
Slow Response Times

When guards lack immediate access to resident data and visitor history, verification takes longer and response to incidents slows. Centralized information puts everything at their fingertips.

Lack of visibility icon
Lack of Visibility for Management

Community managers need to see what's happening at the gate in real time. EntranceIQ provides dashboards and reports that give full visibility into guard operations and community activity.

Tools Built for Security Teams

Guard Workstation App

A purpose-built digital workstation that gives guards everything they need: resident lookup, visitor verification, guest list management, and gate controls, all from one screen on any device.

Incident Reporting

Document security events in real time with EIQ-Reporter. Guards can log incidents with photos, notes, timestamps, and categories for complete, professional reports.

Real-Time Alerts

Stay informed with EIQ-Alerts. Guards receive instant notifications about flagged visitors, blacklisted vehicles, resident emergencies, and community-wide announcements.

Visitor Verification

Instantly verify visitors against resident-approved guest lists. Search by name, vehicle, or QR code to confirm authorization and log the entry with a single tap.

Shift Management

Track guard activity across shifts with detailed logs of all actions taken during each shift. Shift handoff notes ensure continuity between guard teams so nothing falls through the cracks.

Communication Tools

Contact residents directly from the guard workstation. Whether verifying an unregistered guest or notifying a resident about a delivery, communication is built into the workflow.
