    <summary>Tap a visitor in the app, or choose Details in the console, for a short timeline: who logged them at the gate, who approved or denied in the app, who marked the home’s answer on a call, the gate’s calls to the home with the time and length of each, and check-in and check-out. It settles who let a visitor in. No call is ever recorded, only who called whom, when and for how long; never the sound, never a number. A call the guard makes from a visitor’s card also shows in that entry, and like every call it is kept 90 days. A home sees only its own visitors, and the office needs the gate-log permission.</summary>
