A digital gate entry system is only worth installing if it answers questions after something goes wrong. If it cannot, it is an expensive doorbell.
The record, not the gadget
Timestamps you cannot backdate, a photo, a named approver, an exit. Paper fails all four under volume.
Indian housing, not a campus lobby
Domestic staff, two-wheeler floods, festival guest spikes. DGate is built for that, with the rest of the society OS — including maintenance billing — in the same subscription.
Common questions
Do we throw the register away on day one?
Run both for a fortnight if the agency needs comfort. Almost nobody keeps the book after that.
CCTV instead?
Cameras are retrospective. Entry software is preventive. You want both.
Included accounting?
Yes, operational dues. /features.
Price?
/pricing.
