Frequently asked questions
How do digiGate Virtual PIN Codes work?

Virtual PIN Codes allow users to open an electric gate or barrier without needing an app, physical keypad or remote control. Simply call your site's dedicated telephone number, listen to the automated prompt and enter your unique 5-digit PIN using your phone's keypad. digiGate verifies the code and automatically opens the assigned entrance if access is permitted.
Do I need to install a physical keypad at the gate?

No. Unlike traditional PIN-based access systems, digiGate uses a virtual telephone keypad, eliminating the need to install, wire or maintain a physical keypad at the entrance. Users simply dial your dedicated number and enter their PIN when prompted, making it ideal for sites where installing additional hardware would be inconvenient or costly.
Can I generate temporary PIN codes for visitors or contractors?

Yes. Administrators can create unique PIN codes with specific access dates, times and usage limits. This makes them particularly useful for visitors, contractors, delivery drivers and temporary staff who only require access for a limited period. Codes can automatically expire once their permitted access period or usage limit has been reached.
How much does Virtual PIN Code access cost?

Can I limit how many times a PIN code can be used?

Yes. digiGate allows administrators to assign a maximum number of uses to individual PIN codes. For example, a delivery driver could receive a single-use PIN, while a contractor could be allocated a code valid for multiple visits. Once the usage limit is reached, the PIN will no longer grant access.

You can also allow unlimited uses over a certain time period between 2 dates and times.
Can Virtual PIN Codes be integrated with booking systems?

Yes. Virtual PIN Codes can be automatically generated and managed through digiGate's Booking API, allowing compatible hotel, holiday accommodation, parking and visitor management platforms to issue access credentials directly from a reservation. Access can automatically expire when the booking ends, reducing manual administration.
Do users need a digiGate account or smartphone to use a Virtual PIN?

No. Users don't need to register for a digiGate account, download an app or even own a smartphone. Any suitable telephone capable of making a call and entering keypad digits can be used, making Virtual PIN Codes particularly convenient for occasional visitors and people who prefer a simple access method.
Can I use Virtual PIN Codes alongside ANPR, App and Call to Control?

Absolutely. Virtual PIN Codes are one of several access methods available through digiGate Pro. They can be used alongside ANPR, mobile app control, Call to Control and WhatsApp, giving you the flexibility to provide different access methods to different users, all managed through one central platform.
Can I add Virtual PIN Codes after installing digiGate?

Yes! Virtual PIN Codes can be activated at any time, even after your digiGate Pro system has been purchased and installed. Simply request the license to be activated on your system by a member of the digiGate team and we'll send over your dedicated phone number and add to your system remotely. No additional hardware, wiring or physical keypad is required, making it easy to expand your access control capabilities as your needs change.
