Digital Guest Keys for HOA and Property Visitor Access

Tired of gate calls, paper logs, or residents texting guards? GateWatch Digital Keys offer a faster, more secure way to manage guest access—with real-time QR codes that work at manned or unmanned gates, without hardware upgrades.

Built to Fix a Problem We Lived Every Day

We started Community Tech after experiencing the same issue many Florida communities face—long, frustrating gate lines.
Waiting 30+ minutes just to let in a guest? We knew there had to be a better way.

We Enhance Guards, Not Replace Them

It seems like every platform these days wants to replace humans. Community Tech empowers guards. Digital tools that support, not replace, your on-site staff.

Faster Guest Access. Fewer Headaches.

With residents managing their own guest keys, wait times drop, gate calls decrease, and your team gets time back every day.

No Hardware Required

We built Digital Keys to work with what you already have. We’ll integrate access seamlessly.
