For residential estates

Every visitor known.
Every gate under control.

Petra Platform gives residents an app to let visitors in, guards a gate phone that checks every code, and the estate office one place for gates, dues and security. It keeps working when the internet doesn't.

Guards

A gate phone that checks every code

Guards type the code or scan the QR and see exactly who is coming, for which home, booked by whom.

  • Expected and inside lists, with overstayers first
  • Walk-ins asked of the household, answered in seconds
  • Panic alerts, incident reports with photos, and shift handover notes
  • Keeps checking QR passes when the network drops, and syncs when it is back

Estate office

Run the whole estate from one place

Residents and homes, gates and guards, dues and payments, security and reports — on a computer or a phone.

  • Every entry and exit in the gate log, with reasons for refusals
  • Charges invoiced automatically, reminders sent, payments reconciled
  • Lockdowns and evacuations started from the dashboard
  • Announcements, polls, a helpdesk and vetted artisans for residents
Gate traffic report with peak hours

Gate hardware

Unmanned lanes that still follow the rules

A small controller at the gate reads keypads, QR scanners, resident tags and number-plate cameras, and decides on its own — with the same rules as the guard's phone, online or not.
