Estate security app

The estate security app that tells you who's at the gate

Most estates still run on a notebook at the gate and a phone call nobody picks up. With SecureVes, every visitor checks in on their phone, the resident lets them in with one tap, and the estate has a record of every entry that it can actually use.

Security at the gate

Guards stop guessing who is allowed in.

  • Residents approve or deny visitors from their phone, by push or SMS
  • Guests invited ahead get a pass with a QR code and a gate code
  • Guards scan passes, see approvals instantly and keep a live list of who is inside
  • A watchlist flags people the estate has barred
  • The scanner keeps working offline when the network fails

An SOS button for every resident

In an emergency a resident presses SOS in the app. Estate security, management and the rest of the household are alerted at once by push, SMS and email, with the house it came from.

Easy for every resident

The resident app works in English, Pidgin, Yorùbá, Hausa and Igbo, with a bigger-text option for older residents. Residents can add their household, and invite guests in a few taps.

How it works

  1. 1

    The visitor arrives

    They scan the estate's QR code at the gate and say which house they are visiting.

  2. 2

    The resident decides

    Their phone buzzes with the visitor's name and photo. One tap lets them in.

  3. 3

    The gate knows

    The guard sees the approval at once and the visitor gets a pass with directions.

  4. 4

    The estate has the record

    Every entry is logged: who came, to which house, who approved them and when they left.

Questions people ask

Do residents need a smartphone?

It works best with one, but residents can also get visitor alerts by SMS, and a guard can check visitors in for them.

What happens when the network is down?

The guard's scanner keeps checking passes and gate codes offline, and everything syncs once the network is back.

Do we need to install anything at the gate?

No. A printed QR code is enough. A tablet for the guard is optional.

Can the estate collect dues with it too?

Yes. Estate dues can be billed and paid online straight into the estate's own bank account, with receipts. See estate management software.
