identUP Gate: Transparent, Smart Community Management from Gate to Dues

A modern residential complex with a landscaped shared courtyard

identUP Gate is a smart access control and community management platform developed by Creamobile that lets residents open community and building gates from their phone. Video intercom, visitor management, ANPR parking barriers, dues and expense tracking, amenity booking and digital voting come together in one mobile app and one web panel.

Instead of separate systems for key cards, keys, remotes, intercom panels and dues ledgers, everything is managed in one place. Residents open the gate from their pocket and greet visitors on video wherever they are. Managers see who passed through which gate and when, and which apartment owes how much, on a single screen.

Highlights

01

Open the gate with your phone

One tap, a Siri voice command, or from the car screen via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

02

QR video intercom

Visitors scan the QR code at the gate and video-call the apartment without installing an app.

03

The whole household rings at once

The first to answer takes the call; the other phones stop ringing.

04

Timed gate access for visitors

During the call the resident taps "Grant Access", and the visitor can open the gates from their own phone until the time runs out.

05

License plate recognition for parking

Registered, approved vehicles drive in without stopping, and every pass is logged.

06

Transparent dues and expenses

Instalments, advance payments, sequential receipts and a "Where do my dues go?" screen.

Why now: transparency in dues is no longer optional

In 2026, amendments to Turkey's Condominium Law introduced a cap on increases in community dues and gave more weight to operating budgets, general assembly decisions and management records.

Residents now ask not only "how much?" but also "what was it spent on?"

identUP Gate answers this on the software side:

  • In the mobile app's "Where do my dues go?" screen, residents see the community's monthly expenses broken down by category (cleaning, security, elevators, electricity and more) and by invoice line.
  • On the management side, a wrong payment entry is never deleted; it is voided with a written reason.
  • Every receipt gets a sequential number per community and year.
  • Balance statements can be printed or exported to Excel.

The result is a traceable record for the board and auditors.

For residents: your gate and your visitors in your pocket

The mobile app runs on iOS and Android, in Turkish and English. Sign-in is passwordless, using a phone number and an SMS code. The home screen shows gate cards with live online status and an "Open Door" button. Hands-free opening with iBeacon as you approach the gate is also available, depending on the community's settings.

When a visitor calls, the call rings like a regular phone call even on a locked screen. If tenants live in the apartment, only the tenants' phones ring, so an owner who lives elsewhere isn't disturbed. Residents can limit incoming calls to certain days and hours. Calls use an encrypted WebRTC connection and follow an intercom model: the resident sees the visitor, but the visitor doesn't see the resident.

For managers: the whole community in one panel

A single installation of the web panel manages an unlimited number of communities. Hundreds of apartments can be created in one go. Residents send a membership request by entering a 4-character community code in the app, and the manager picks which gates they can access on the same approval screen.

Dues and collections: 1–60 instalments, automatic billing, advance payments and receipts.
Expenses and suppliers: Supplier accounts, work orders, invoices with VAT and payment tracking.
Amenity booking: Session and quota management for gyms, saunas, pools and more; the facility gate opens for the resident at booking time.
Digital voting: One vote per apartment, with results hidden until you vote.
Notification center: Announcements with images to one person, one apartment or the whole community, with delivery tracking.
Reports: Gate event logs, call records, visit analytics and vehicle passes.

In the field: a remotely managed gate device

The ESP32-based identUP device installed at the gate has a multi-relay design, so one device can control several gates and cut installation costs. The panel shows instantly whether each device is online. Causes of outages such as power cuts, low voltage or network drops are detected automatically, and firmware is updated remotely (OTA).

Every opening decision is made on the server; having a QR code or a phone alone is never enough to open a gate.

From the front gate to parking and shared facilities

The same app and the same panel manage building entrances, the parking barrier and the doors of shared facilities such as gyms, saunas and pools.

Security and privacy

  • Visitors can't place a call unless they are within the gate's defined radius, which stops people from ringing apartments remotely with a photo of the QR code.
  • Phone numbers are masked.
  • Visitor IP addresses are stored only as irreversible hashes.
  • Only the plate text is sent to the plate recognition system.
  • The privacy notice required under Turkey's data protection law (KVKK) is accepted at sign-up, and users can delete their account from within the app.

Frequently asked questions

What is identUP Gate?

An access control platform that lets residents open community and building gates from their phone. It combines video intercom, visitor management, license plate recognition, dues and expense management, amenity booking and voting in one app and one panel.

Do visitors need to install an app?

No. Visitors scan the QR code at the gate, choose the apartment on the web page that opens and start a video call.

Can I see visitors when my phone is locked?

Yes. The call rings like a regular phone call. All registered phones in the apartment ring at once; whoever answers first takes the call and can open the gate.

How does it make dues more transparent?

Residents see expenses by category and invoice line in the "Where do my dues go?" screen. Payments are voided, never deleted, and receipts are numbered sequentially.

Does it work with parking barriers?

Yes. With license plate recognition integration, the barrier opens automatically for approved vehicles. Because the plate list is synced, it keeps working even if the internet goes down.
