What about guests who visit constantly?

They get their own code or tag, and you can pull it later without changing anyone else's.

Does it work with the gate I already have?

Access control talks to the operator, so in most cases it bolts onto what is already there.

Can it work with a camera?

Many entry stations include one or integrate with a system you already have. Worth deciding before the pedestal is set, not after.

What happens if the internet drops?

Codes and tags keep working locally. It is the remote management that pauses, not the gate.
