What pre-Approved Guest Entry does
Pre-Approved Guest Entry is one of the modules societies ask for most. In short, it lets a resident add a guest's name and visit window in advance, so the gate already expects them — removing a task that used to depend on a register, a phone call, or someone remembering.
Key benefits
- Guest walks in without waiting for approval.
- Useful for parties, caterers, and family visits.
- Visit window auto-expires so access doesn't linger.
- Full pre-approval history stored per flat.
How it works
1
Turn it on
The admin enables pre-Approved Guest Entry for your society from the Secure Nest dashboard — no separate installation needed.
2
Set your rules
Configure it to match how your society actually works: who can approve, what gets logged, and who's notified.
3
It runs itself
From here, pre-Approved Guest Entry works in the background — residents, guards, and the committee all see the same up-to-date record.
Why societies choose this
Pre-Approved Guest Entry is designed to fit into how Indian housing societies actually run day to day — including patchy connectivity at the gate and guards who may be more comfortable on a simple phone screen than a full admin console.
Frequently asked questions
In most cases, yes. Pre-Approved Guest Entry runs on the Secure Nest app and dashboard, and where hardware is involved (like cameras or access devices), it's designed to work alongside common existing setups rather than requiring a full replacement.
Yes — it's built for residents and staff who may not be comfortable with complex apps. Most residents are up and running within their first use, and guards typically need only a short walkthrough.
Yes. Records created through this module are stored securely and access is limited by role, so residents, guards, and committee members only see what's relevant to them.
