Objectives:

- Conduct regular safety assessments and identify potential risks.

- Foster open communication channels between residents, the HOA, and relevant authorities regarding security matters.

- Organize community events and training sessions to promote a culture of safety and security.

For inquiries, suggestions, or to express your interest in joining the committee, please submit a Request in the Owners Portal.

PLEASE NOTE - THERE ARE NO 3 Digit Codes for Visitors Anymore

There is some confusion on the new gate system. Your visitors will no longer be able to use a quick 3 digit code to dial you. The old system used a unique number to identify residents. The new system uses unique emails. So, it did not translate and will not work.

You must have your guests scroll through the directory or use the magnifying glass to search and type in the first letters of your last name and then press your name.

The call will come in from (972) 231-1999.

1. To ANSWER the call you must dial 1 - then ASK THEM TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES.
2. Then if you want to let them in you press the 9 or * button. Why do you have to dial a 1 to answer the phone? Because if you are not home and it goes to voicemail it takes a while to reset for the next guest.

Your Fob's work the same. Your fob should have a number on the back. That number is what the system uses to ensure the fob is legitimate. If there is no number on your fob, reach out to gate@lookoutriverwalk.com. THE FOB READER IS ON THE SIDE OF THE NEW CALL BOX AS YOU DRIVE UP!

Why use the Cellgate App?

Only use the cellgate app if you want to see video of your visitor at the gate when they call you. Your app stays open in the background. If you get a call from the gate you must accept it to see video. Then you must press the OPEN button to let them in.

Your clickers work the same.

Tips

Tip 1 - there is a search button for the directory to get to your name quicker

Tip 2 - all data was transferred from the old gate, so if your phone number was on there but under your spouse name, that is the way it transferred

Tip 3 - you will need to know where to find the keypad on your cell phone to answer calls (press 1 to answer) and to let people in (press 9 to open gate)

Tip 4 - You can dial your own name to let yourself into the gate

If you are doing well getting into the gate with your clickers and/or fobs and don’t have frequent visitors, but find an error when testing yourself in the directory, please make a note and contact us next week.

It is going to take a minute to work out the glitches, as is typical with new technology. We are fortunate to now be able to utilize all sorts of new technologies that weren’t available to us for the last 25 years.

Thank you for your patience as everyone masters the new technology (including your admins).
