LPR Security · Apartment communities

Know every vehicle that enters your community.

MyGateGuard reads every license plate at your entrance in real time, flags anything unauthorized the moment it arrives, and keeps a record your office can act on — for a fraction of what a patrol costs.

Why it matters

A patrol service tells you what already happened. MyGateGuard tells you the moment it happens — every plate read, every entry logged, every unknown vehicle flagged with a photo before anyone has to ask.

The math

Same budget. Radically more visibility.

Most communities pay thousands a month for a car that drives past a few times a night. Here's what that actually buys — side by side.

Getting started

Up and running in one visit.

01

We install

A camera goes up at your entrance — using your existing cameras where possible. Most installs take under two hours and need no gate.

02

Residents register

We send residents a simple link to add their plates. No app to download, no office paperwork to chase.

03

You get visibility

Every vehicle is logged automatically. Unauthorized plates are flagged instantly with a timestamped photo, right on your dashboard.

What it does

Everything your office needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Built specifically for apartment communities — not adapted from a parking-garage or retail product.

/ 01
Automatic plate recognition
Every vehicle entering the property is read and logged the moment it arrives. No badge, no gate code, no manual check-in.
/ 02
Instant unauthorized alerts
Unrecognized plates are flagged the moment they enter, with a timestamped photo your team can act on immediately.
/ 03
Resident self-registration
Residents add their own vehicles through a simple link — or bulk-import your existing list by CSV. No spreadsheets to maintain.
/ 04
Property-branded dashboard
A clean dashboard your office actually wants to check — your property's name and logo, reachable from any phone or browser.
/ 05
Works with existing cameras
If your entrance cameras have a clear view of incoming plates, we can often connect directly to them — assessed free, on-site.
/ 06
Searchable history & exports
Pull up any time window in seconds. Timestamped photos and plate records, exportable for police reports or resident disputes.
The dashboard

Your entrance, at a glance.

A complete view of every vehicle on your property — from anywhere, at any time. No app to install, no separate login to manage.

Watch the capture
Your data, your property

Built to respect privacy — not to track people.

You may have seen the news about license-plate cameras and privacy. Here's how MyGateGuard is different by design.

Stays on your property

Your records live on a computer at your community, not in a national cloud. The data is yours — kept on-site, under your control.

No national network

Your entrance isn't wired into a country-wide database. We don't track vehicles beyond your property, and no outside system can search your records.

You decide what's shared

There's no automatic feed to police or any agency. If there's an incident, you've got a timestamped photo ready to hand over — on your terms.

Scoped to your community

It watches your entrance for your residents' safety — not public traffic, and not the movements of people who never set foot on your property.

Pricing
