Anyone who tells you to pick CCTV or an app is selling one of them. Cameras answer “what happened.” A gate app answers “are they allowed in.”
What footage cannot do at 8:12am
It cannot approve a visitor while you are in a meeting. It cannot attach a named resident to an entry. It is usually not searchable by flat.
What the app cannot do
It cannot see a fight in the lobby you have no camera on. Keep the NVRs. Add identity and approval at the barrier.
DGate is not only a camera companion
Same subscription: visitors, SOS, notices, complaints, operational maintenance billing. We are not a CCTV vendor.
Common questions
Can I use DGate without society adoption?
No. The gate has to run it. Raise it with the committee; we will demo.
Does DGate store CCTV?
No.
Dues too?
Yes, operational. /features.
Cost?
/pricing. Not a camera quote.
