Gate software and guard services
Know who came through your gate.
Visitor passes for gated communities, plate reads from gate cameras that read the plate themselves, and a screen for the guard in the booth. The visitor management is free.

The clipboard works until somebody asks.
A gate run on a clipboard and a good memory gets through most evenings. Then a delivery van nobody expected pulls up to the arm, and a board member calls the booth at nine to ask who was on the property that night. The guard who kept the page went home at seven, and the answer is somewhere in his handwriting.
The guard cannot find the name
Nobody can search a handwritten list, and the car behind is already waiting.
Nobody logged the plate
A camera recorded it. Finding that one frame next week means somebody scrubbing through hours of footage.
The record does not exist
The board asks in March about a night in January. The page is in a box somewhere, and the entry on it is a first name and a time.
One night at one gate.
Five ordinary moments between dusk and the morning report, and who handles each one.
- 7:12 pm
A guest on the list
Scans the pass at the arm. The screen says allow, with the host’s name.
- 9:04 pm
A delivery nobody expected
No pass. The guard finds the resident on the screen and calls before lifting the arm.
- 11:48 pm
A plate on a deny list
The camera reads it. The gate does not open on that read, and the guard’s screen flags the plate as denied.
- 2:15 am
Someone at the intercom, booth empty
A guard at our monitoring center answers, checks with the resident, and opens the gate.
Remote guarding is a Max Security USA service, quoted per site.
- 6:00 am
The record is already written
Every entry with plate, host and time, searchable and ready for the board.
Three stops from the first call to a live gate.
Nobody on your side runs an IT project. We do the setup with your manager.
Step 1: Tell us about your gate
How many entrances you have, who staffs them, and what the board already has in place.
Step 2: We check the community and set it up
We confirm the association and the property, then build the gates, the guard screen and the resident list with your manager.
Step 3: The gate goes live
The guard works from a screen instead of a binder, and residents put guests on the list from their phone the night before.
What a board wants from a gate.
It starts with a phone call
The manager or a board member calls us, we talk through the entrances and who staffs them, and we do the setup with you from there.
Plate cameras you may already have
We work with gate cameras that read the plate themselves, including ones you may already have. If yours can’t, you hear it from us on the first call.
A person reviews every notice
When a stop-sign camera flags a car, a reviewer watches the clip before anything goes out. Borderline footage is dropped.
Visitor management is free
No trial clock and no starter tier. We are a guard company; guarding and patrol are how we earn our money.
What the guard and the residents see.
The booth works from a searchable screen. Residents put guests on the list from their phone, and the guest gets a pass that opens the gate.
The software costs your community nothing.
No subscription, no per-resident or per-gate fee, no setup charge, no contract and no card. We set the site up, load the resident list and train the guards at no charge.

Built by a guard company.
Max Security USA has put guards at gates, patrol cars on the road and cameras on real properties since 2002. It was founded and is led by law enforcement veterans with over 130 combined years of service, from an office in Huntington, New York.
Maximum.Community is the software we built for that work. The same people staff booths, run the monitoring center and answer your call.
