Gate and guards
Visitors approved by the home, guest codes, daily staff, parcels with hand-over codes, number-plate look-up and SOS, even without internet.
Gate security
Gate security for societies: simple for the guard, clear for the home
One keypad for every code, photos stamped with the time and place, a walkie for the guards and an SOS that reaches the right people. The gate keeps working without internet.
Security at a society gate depends on the guard, and the guard is often new, busy, and working on a basic phone with a weak signal. Ekvasa is made for that guard. The screens are simple, the app speaks the guard’s language, and nothing stops when the network drops. For residents and the committee, every entry leaves a clear record. See Gate and guards for every feature.
Simple for the guard, even without internet
Guards sign in without email: the society code, a guard ID and a PIN. The office creates guards, resets PINs, switches a login off and prints a sign-in sheet. Every screen is in English, Gujarati or Hindi.
When the network drops, the gate phone keeps the homes, passes, codes, staff and vehicles, and a bar tells the guard that the gate keeps working. Entries go through in order, with their true time, when the network returns. If a gate phone has been out of touch for over a day, the office sees it.
Photos with the time and the place
The society can require a photo of every new walk-in visitor; it is on by default, and the guard’s button says Take a photo first until one is taken. Each guard photo is stamped on the phone itself with the Ekvasa mark, the society, the date and time in India time and, when the guard allows it, the gate’s location. Visitor photos are deleted after 30 days.
Passes instead of phone calls
Expected guests carry a one-time 6-digit pass or its QR, and regular visitors a standing code for their days and hours. Every code goes on the same Pass code screen, with the keypad in thumb reach. Parcels are handed over against the home’s 4-digit code, and the guard sees today’s amenity bookings, so a party’s guests are expected.
A walkie for the guards
Guards of the same society hold the round Talk button and speak; the others hear them at once and see who is talking. Nothing is recorded. It works on weak networks, a guard who is removed or blocked is disconnected at once, and the society can switch it off.
SOS that reaches the right people
A resident holds SOS for two seconds. Every guard, the admins and the rest of the home get a loud alarm, and by reason so do the people who can act: a medical SOS reaches residents who said they can help, their block first; a fire alarms the whole block; an intruder alert reaches the floors around. A guard or responder taps I’m going and the resident sees who is coming.
Up to 3 gate numbers and 10 emergency numbers set by the office are in the app, with 112, 108, 101 and 100 always there, and they work without internet. SOS itself needs the network.
Staff in and out, and a log the office can trust
Daily staff are checked in with one tap, and each home sees their attendance for salary day. Someone the office blocks is refused at the gate, even offline. The number-plate look-up shows the home, slot and sticker, never a name or number, and a 2 a.m. report lists visitor vehicles still inside. The office reads the gate log for today or the last 7 or 30 days, with photos, updating live.
Common questions
What happens at the gate when the internet is down?
The gate keeps working. Entries, passes, codes, staff and vehicle look-ups run from the phone’s copy, and a new visitor is approved by a phone call to the home. Everything goes through with its true time when the network is back.
Are walkie conversations recorded?
No. The walkie is live only and nothing is recorded. The society can switch it off.
Does Ekvasa use fingerprints or face scans?
No. Ekvasa uses photos only, stamped with the time and place, and visitor photos are deleted after 30 days. See Security and privacy.
