Nowadays, there is an increase in criminal activities in the residential areas, particularly in residential societies. Thus, security is a major concern for residents. Generally, people who access residential society can be segregated into three categories such as residents, maintenance staff (plumber, electrician, gardener, etc.), visitors (relatives, delivery boy, maids, cab driver, etc.) and vendors.
To ensure foolproof security for residential societies & gated communities, a different category of people must be associated with different access rules so that the right person gets access to a right place in a fast and secure way. It helps to regulate the entry of residents, visitors, and vendors into the community. They require facility for vehicle access management, CCTV, emergency call stations, intrusion alarm systems and guard tour monitoring systems.
In nutshell, there is a need for a complete security solution specifically intended for residential facilities and gated communities, focusing on their resources, limitations and diverse demographic characteristics.

IDCUBE understands this and developed an innovative, comprehensive, customized & cloud-based community management solution- iNEST.

There is an option for the users to select cameras that they wish to view and see the footage.

Residents Directory: Manages various details of all residents, including house number, floor number, owner name, contact number (provision of entering multiple contact numbers, but only the primary number is displayed in the telephone directory as per the security policy), elevator, direction and photograph, results of security checks and details of historical access usage.

Defines non-occupancy period: House admin can define the time- period for which the premises remain non-occupied. During this period security guards will not generate a gate-pass to his/her premises. Admin can even pass instructions to the guard to take specific action in his/her absence.
