Child Safety & Security for Gated Premises
MyGate, an intelligent security solution for gated premises, has introduced a new safety feature for children safety in gated communities. The new feature provides real-time information to the parents when their children step outside the main gate of their gated premises. As working parents, the primary reason for anyone to rent or buy a house in a gated community is safety and security of their loved ones. myGate’s children safety feature helps parents give approval and be aware of the movement of their children when they step out, unaccompanied by the parents. This would also apply when a child goes out with a designated caretaker. A security guard may or may not connect to the parents every time the child steps out alone or with the support staff. Most communities do not have a EPBX systems deployed, and/ or the parents are generally unavailable at the receiving end to attend calls. This process often goes disastrous. myGate’s latest feature helps there and instantly notifies parents on the myGate app., and appropriate action can be taken. Launched in late 2016, the startup aims to revolutionise the safety and security of gated communities by automating and digitizing manual tasks at various entry and exit points of the premises. myGate has been installed in over 60,000 flats/ villas in Bengaluru within various popular gated communities such as Adarsh Palm Retreat Villas, Purva Riviera, Prestige St. Johns, Mantri Tranquil, Sobha properties, Salarpuria properties and many more, and more than 2000 guards are using it. The company is operational in Bengaluru with plans to expand to Hyderabad and other cities over the next 12 months. myGate is built on strong Behavioral Intelligence Augmented Authentication (BIAA) technology. Some of the product features include e-intercom (automatic visitor authentication, staff attendance, infrastructure-free vehicle management), resident identification, clubhouse access management, intelligent management reporting, alerts etc. myGate can be deployed in less than a week without any investment in hardware or any capital expenditure. The security device is provided in a pay as you go pricing model. The startup also provides and manages the training of facility staff, security guards and building association members. The solution can be deployed in a multi-tiered system where there are multiple security checkpoints viz., at the main gate and at the building/ tower gate. myGate also helps manage visitor car parking easily without compromising on the space reserved for other residents. The app is easy to use and is hassle free for residents including senior citizens and children. Some of the key functions are designed to be used in the absence of a mobile or a smartphone which makes it affordable and pervasive. “There’s nothing more important than the safety and security of our children when they’re away from home. Even in the most advanced gated communities, most of the management system is still handled manually with either log books or intercom in place. We are bringing the power of mobile and deep tech into apartment security systems. We understand the complexities around gate management and the skill levels of guards and to have designed the entire solution for an easy adoption by the security at the gate. Our goal is to solve end-to-end security issues with an intelligent app based solution at a negligible cost,” said Vijay Arisetty, CEO & Co-founder, myGate.
