This is an internet-based app that can be accessed from anywhere you have internet on your smartphone. This means you do not have to be on site to use the remote.

The system can also be set to include your space number and your last name (or a partial thereof if your name is too long) in a call list for the purpose of individuals calling from the entry control box to your phone directly through the app to request access to the property. You will be able to view the individual on live video from the app while you are talking to them and will be prompted to either “Grant access” or “Decline access”. It is very simple to use. This feature will allow for you to manage delivery drivers or if a friend comes over for dinner etc.

In addition, the system will assign you a unique and personalized entry code for use in the event the internet is down, or you don’t have your phone with you at the time you are entering the property.

2) You are not allowed to give your unique access code to anyone other than the 1 or 2 registered occupants of your personal RV. (Your ability to grant access remotely through the app should virtually eliminate any need for non-renters to have a code)

3) Your login credentials cannot be used to grant access to the property for individuals that are visiting the property if you are not present at the time of their visit.

4) No employee or agent of Waterfront Hideaway Ranch, LLC can provide tech support for the CellGate smartphone app. If you have any questions that pertain to the CellGate app, you will need to contact CellGate directly (cell-gate.com)(855-694-2837)
