Platform focus
Elwin Security installs, configures, repairs and supports Gatewise gate and amenity access for multifamily and commercial properties in the San Francisco Bay Area, from its Santa Clara office. The field scope is the gate operator, the release hardware, power at each access point, and the keypad the property keeps.
Use case
Elwin installs and services the gate operators, release hardware, power and keypads at each access point.
Receiver placement at each vehicle gate, pedestrian gate, amenity door and garage. The connection to the existing gate operator or door release hardware, power at the access point, and the keypad the property keeps for PIN entry.
The gate operator, release hardware, power supply and keypad at that gate are Elwin's service call.
Elwin reviews what is at each gate before deciding what stays.
Service focus
The platform is chosen. The condition of each gate still sets the scope.
Visitors scan a QR code at the gate or door and connect with the resident or staff over two-way video. Residents send a Visitor Key from the app with built-in time limits and automatic expiration.
Elwin repairs and supports the gate operator, release hardware, power and keypad at those access points, and returns for service calls when a gate stops opening.
Site walk
The site walk confirms each access point, its operator or release hardware, where power comes from, cellular conditions at the gate, and who will run the portal.
Vehicle gates, pedestrian gates, amenity doors, garages and package rooms.
The operator at each vehicle and pedestrian gate, the electric strike, maglock, closer or exit device at each amenity door, and the release wiring. Your fire marshal or AHJ determines compliance.
Whether a keypad stays, which residents use Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and which property management system syncs credentials.
System layers

Elwin plans each access point, its power and its release hardware before the receivers are scheduled.
