Three code types
Single-use for a one-off visit. A date range for the contractor coming all week. And a party code: one code that admits many guests across many scans, so nobody has to generate thirty of them.

QR Access Control for Condominiums
Every visitor arrives with a code you control. Residents generate it from their app, the guard scans it at the gate, and you get a record of who entered, when and to which unit — no notebooks, no intercom calls.

The problem
What changes on day one
Today
With Koti
Today
The gatehouse logs visitors in a notebook nobody ever reads again.
With Koti
Every entry is logged with unit, time and visitor type, and stays searchable afterwards.
Today
The guard calls each resident to confirm a visitor while the queue grows at the gate.
With Koti
The code arrives pre-authorized by the resident: the guard scans and opens.
Today
A unit months behind on fees keeps bringing in visitors as if nothing happened.
With Koti
You can switch on code-generation blocking for units behind on fees, with a configurable grace period.
Resident
The resident creates the pass from their phone
No call to management, no heads-up to the gate: they generate the code and share it over WhatsApp.
Generate
A code for every visitor
- Single-use for a one-off visit, a date range for the contractor coming all week
- Party code: one code that admits many guests across many scans
- Categorize the visit — family, worker, delivery — so the access log is actually useful
Admin
Management sets the rules
Who can generate codes, of which type, and what happens when a unit falls behind on fees.
01Rules
Issued codes, in plain sight
- Every active code in the community in one table, by unit and by type
- Cancel a code instantly if something looks wrong
- Units behind on fees lose the ability to generate codes, with no chasing on your part
02Access log
Who came in, when, and where
- A complete entry log with unit, time and visitor type
- Look up the history when there is a complaint or an incident, instead of reconstructing it from memory
- Visitor categories turn the log into data you can actually read

Security
The guard scans and authorizes
The gatehouse app clears the entry in seconds and files the record for you.
Gatehouse
Scan, authorize, move on
- The guard scans the code and immediately sees whether it is valid and which unit it belongs to
- Manual entry for the visitor who shows up without a code, without leaving the system
- Entries and exits land in the same log management sees
In detail
Access & QR codes, in detail
Visitor categories
Family, worker, delivery, vendor. The category travels with the code and turns the access log into real information about who actually enters your community.
Blocked for late payers
Switch it on and a unit behind on fees loses the ability to generate visitor codes — after whatever grace period you set. It belongs to the same family of restrictions that can block amenity bookings: each one is enabled separately, so you decide how far the collection pressure goes.
Digital access log
Every entry is recorded with unit, time, visitor type and who authorized it. When there is an incident, the answer is in the history rather than in the memory of the previous shift.
Manual gate registration
Not every visitor arrives with a code. The guard registers the entry by hand from the same app and it lands in the same log, so there is never a second system on paper.
Registered vehicles
Residents register their vehicles and the directory is available at the gatehouse, so a known car does not have to identify itself every single time.
Built for Mexico
Built for the gatehouse of a Mexican condominium
Access control is where a community’s security becomes tangible — and where most of the friction with residents is created.
No intercom, no calls
Authorization travels inside the code, so the guard never interrupts the resident and the queue at the entrance stops growing.
Visitor personal data
The log lives in the platform behind role-based access, not in an open notebook on the gatehouse counter.
Owners and tenants
Both can generate codes for their unit, and the log records which of them did — which matters when the unit is rented.

Frequently asked questions
The guard registers them manually from the gatehouse app: which unit they are visiting and the visitor type. The entry lands in the same log as the code-authorized ones, so there is no separate notebook.
Yes. That is what the party code is for: one code that admits several guests across multiple scans, designed for gatherings and events at home. For everything else there are single-use and date-range codes.
Yes, by enabling the delinquency restriction. It is off by default: you turn it on when the community approves it, and you set how many days of grace to allow before it applies. Once active the rule enforces itself — no briefing the gatehouse, no case-by-case checking. The amenity-booking restriction is separate, so you can use one without the other.
No. The guard app runs on an ordinary phone or tablet and uses the device camera to scan. There is no need to buy readers or install turnstiles to get started.
The gatehouse app handles both entries and exits, so the log reflects the full movement rather than only who arrived.
