Estates & Gated Communities

Stronger Perimeter Control. Smarter Visitor Access.

Residential estates and gated communities face a unique balance: welcoming residents and guests while keeping the perimeter fully secure. Every day, security teams handle residents returning, contractors arriving, and delivery drivers queuing at the boom. Manual logbooks and fragmented systems expose estates to risk, delays, and frustration.

Kenai brings enterprise-grade visitor management and access control into the estate environment — ensuring that every visitor is logged, every approval is captured, and every boom only opens when the data is securely verified.

Why Estates & Gated Communities Need Kenai

• High visitor traffic — friends, family, contractors, deliveries, and services arriving daily.
• Security pressure — guards must make instant decisions while keeping traffic flowing.
• Resident convenience — hosts need a simple way to approve or deny entry.
• Boom control — perimeter access must only open once checks are complete.
• Accountability — estate management must know exactly who is inside at any time.

Kenai ensures estates operate with bank-grade visitor controls — without slowing down access.

How Kenai Supports Estates

1. Visitor Approvals

• Visitors arrive at the gate and guards initiate a VoIP call to the host.
• Hosts approve or deny entry directly on the call — no missed SMS or manual notes.
• Approvals are logged in real time on the Kenai dashboard.

2. Secure Data Collection

• Guard-operated scanners capture IDs, driver’s licenses, or vehicle disks.
• Visitor data is securely stored and searchable in the Kenai dashboard.
• Custom flows differentiate residents, contractors, and deliveries.

3. Gallagher Access Control Integration

• Boom gates open only once visitor data is collected and host approval is confirmed.
• All events are logged across Kenai and Gallagher for unified oversight.
• Estates benefit from the same enterprise-grade integration trusted by banks and corporates.

4. Central Oversight & Reporting

• Real-time logs of all visitors and contractors onsite.
• Searchable by name, vehicle, host, or date.
• Exportable reports for audits, incident investigations, or compliance.

Built for Security Teams

• Guard-friendly workflows — fast scanning and VoIP approvals reduce friction.
• Audit-ready — every visitor event logged and exportable.
• Proven integrations — Gallagher boom gates and access control.
• Flexible flows — estates can configure different rules for visitors, contractors, and deliveries.

Results for Estates & Gated Communities

• Faster gate processing — secure visitor entry without queues.
• Higher accountability — no unlogged visitors, no lost approvals.
• Stronger security — boom gates only open when approvals and scans are complete.
• Professional perception — estate access aligned with enterprise standards.

Example Use Case

A large gated community implemented Kenai to replace manual guard logs. Guards now scan visitor IDs and trigger VoIP calls to residents for instant approvals. Boom gates only open once approvals are logged and visitor data is captured.

Estate management can search and export complete visitor logs at any time — strengthening accountability while reducing guard workload.
