What visitor Photo Capture does
Visitor Photo Capture takes a photo of every visitor at the gate and attaches it to their entry record. It's built as part of the Secure Nest platform so it works together with the rest of your society's daily operations, not as a bolted-on extra.
Key benefits
- Guards can confirm a face against ID quickly.
- Photo travels with the entry record, not a separate register.
- Useful evidence if a dispute comes up later.
- Stored securely and only visible to authorised staff.
How it works
1
Turn it on
The admin enables visitor Photo Capture 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, visitor Photo Capture works in the background — residents, guards, and the committee all see the same up-to-date record.
Why societies choose this
The value of visitor Photo Capture shows up most during the busy moments: peak hours, events, or when the regular staff member is on leave. A system that doesn't depend on memory holds up better than a register or a WhatsApp thread.
Frequently asked questions
In most cases, yes. Visitor Photo Capture 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.
