If an entrance has visitor management needs, a Watchman model must be chosen. Which Watchman model will work best depends on whether a directory listing will be needed at the entrance (or not).

Virtual Keys are a visitor management feature that is available with all Watchman multi-family hardware, including: the Watchman WXL/WXL2, Watchman W480/W482 and Watchman W461/W462 models. Virtual Keys provide a trackable, more secure and convenient way to manage visitor entry, and are simple for visitors to utilize.

External cameras are ideal for capturing additional views of visitors, license plate details, general vehicle information or specific property zones.  Up to 3 external cameras per installed Watchman system (depending on the specific Watchman model chosen).

A Watchman multi-family product is ideal for vehicle gate entrances that allow employee entry, and also manages the entry needs of visitors or vendors. Employees utilizing RFID, fobs, and key card credentials for entry continue to do so as normal. Virtual Keys with 1) short, limited entry windows are issued for visitor entry at both vehicle gate and walk-up entrances; and 2) Individual QR Code Keys are issued to visitors who require ongoing property access.

OmniPoint is ideal for doors that only need monitoring. No power is required at the door, and door status notifications are sent to designated parties.

Pedestrian gates at the perimeter of a property have two solution options: either OmniPoint or a Watchman multi-family model. The right option is based on several factors, including proximity of the pedestrian gate to the installed Watchman device.

Our readers and credentials easily integrate with any CellGate product. Desired functionality available includes Bluetooth touchless entry, RFID, and QR Code Virtual Keys for Visitor Management (varies by reader chosen).

An OmniPoint Gateway is the central communications hub for an OmniPoint solution. It is typically placed on a roof or tall mounting pole in the center of a property in order for it to best communicate with different entry points.

Depending on a property’s needs at a specific entrance or parking area, both an OmniPoint solution or a Watchman multi-family model are options here for access control. If the entrance/area also has visitor management needs, a Watchman model must be chosen.
