Pre-registration |
Pre-registration allows visitor to register in advance prior to the actual visit day. For example, if you are going to visit your friend next week. Through the i-Neighbour Web and Mobile App, you can get the pre-registration done at anytime and anywhere. After your friend have accepted the registration, you will be provided with a QR code for easy access to the community and a quick verification at the guardhouse.
Yes, of course. There are 2 more registration methods in i-Neighbour, which are:
1. Invitation - you can get your friend (resident) to send you an invitation through i-Neighbour Mobile App. You will then receive a QR code and a link from your friend. The QR code is for easy access and quick verification. While the link will direct you to a web page to fill up your information, that is required by the community. So, you will get yourself registered and all you have to do at the guard house is to get the QR code scanned. No more long waiting time at the guard house!
2. Walk-In Registration is still possible. You may get yourself registered at the guard house.
No, visitor registration is totally free in i-Neighbour. All you need is a personal PC or a smartphone.
• Yes, you should. Because once you have registered, your information will be saved in your account. So, your information is always automatically filled up in the visitor registration form, when you pre-register to visit someone.
• If you do not wish to sign up, it is totally fine. You can still pre-register your visit through web and mobile app. In web app, you may go to https://www.i-neighbour.com/visitor_registration.php to search the community that you would like to visit. While for mobile app, you can login as "I AM A VISITOR".
• Go to https://www.i-neighbour.com/visitor_registration.php
• Search for the community that you would like to visit
• Enter Resident Information (Unit No. and Name). Make sure that you have the correct unit no. and resident’s name as registered in i-Neighbour. You will not be allowed to proceed further with the registration if the unit no. and resident’s name do not match.
• Fill up the visitation and your personal information.
• You will receive an email after the resident has responded to your registration.
• You may login as "I AM A VISITOR". Please note that your visitation record will be removed completely if you login to i-Neighbour system with another account.
• Go to Pre-Registration
• Select community that you wish to visit and follow the steps to complete the registration.
• You will receive a push notification on your mobile phone when the resident has responded to your registration.
Upon submitting the registration, i-Neighbour will do a quick screening to make sure that the photo uploaded is a “human” photo and all the information is filled up.
Security guards play a very important role too to ensure that the recorded visitor’s information is correct, they should verify the information registered with the ID of the visitors.
Upon scanning the QR code, the registered information of the visitor will be displayed right on the screen and the security guards are allowed to edit the information, if it is necessary.
No, a QR code will not be provided to the visitor if his registration has been declined by the resident. The QR code will only be provided by the system automatically, if and only if, the resident has accepted the registration.
A QR code is used in i-Neighbour's Visitor Management System to help speed up the registration process. Each QR code is tied up to one registration. So upon scanning the QR code by the security guard, the visitor can be checked-in or checked-out of the community after verifying the information.
No external QR code scanner is required at all. i-Neighbour Mobile App has in-app QR code scanner in the security guard’s account.
Security guards are allowed to edit visitor's information, such as ID No. and the vehicle information.
By default, the system allows visitors to check-in an hour before and after the registered arrival time. Soon, the check-in validation time will be put into settings. So, the system admin (management) has the right to set the check-in validation time.
Yes, of course you can because it is out of the system’s control. However, the QR code has been tied up with your information. The security guard might not allow your friend to check-in to the community with the QR code that is not registred with his own information. Hence, security guards play a vital role to keep a community safe.
For the time being, you are required to do multiple registrations to visit multiple units in one community.
Very soon in the future, i-Neighbour Visitor Management System will be able to cater to multiple units visitation. It will be developed especially for visitors, like school bus drivers and newspaper distributors.
Yes, of course you can. Residents can choose to accept, decline or reschedule the registration submitted by their visitors. Rescheduling is allowed between the residents and visitors up to three times. However, rescheduling can only be done, via email for the time being.
The basic information such as name, ID No. mobile number. However, the registration form is totally customizable. The management or the system admin will decide the information they require from the visitors.
The basic information such as name, ID No. mobile number. However, the registration form is totally customizable. As an admin, you can decide what information is required from the visitors.
Management can customize the registration form by logging into your account in i-Neighbour Web App. Go to Settings > Profile > Visitor Registration.
You can add more fields as you wish.
Yes, of course. In Visitor module, it provides a dashboard to view visitors who are expected to come, checked-in and checked-out.
Only residents or the person whom the visitors are visiting have the right to accept or decline a the registration.
We are not able to disable the Pre-Registration feature from our system. Instead, you, as the management can inform the security guards to not accept pre-registered visitors. And, of course, the residents should be informed of that, so that they do not accept visitors’ pre-registration.
Speed up the registration process: by doing pre-registration, visitor's information and approval from the residents have been obtained beforehand. Hence, security guards only have to scan the QR code and verify visitor’s information.
Solve long queue issue at the guardhouse: if most of the visitors pre-register before they go to the community, long queue issue can be solved effectively.
If the device used by the security guard is lost, the management can change the password of the account.
Very soon in the future, i-Neighbour will enhance its security by imposing Google's 2-Factor Authentication. With this, users are required to verify before logging in. Besides that, upon changing password, user can choose to logout from all devices.
Yes, you can choose to accept, decline or reschedule the registration, via both i-Neighbour Web and Mobile App. However, rescheduling is not available on mobile app yet. Stay tuned and it will be soon delivered to you.
Only the resident, whom the visitor is visiting will be notified and has the right to accept, decline or reschedule the registration.
No, you never will. This is because only the visitee (tenant in this case) will be notified of their visitors.
Yes, the system admin has the right to see a list of visitors who are expected to come, have checked in and out. However, your neighbours will definitely not be able to see your visitor records.
If you do not respond to your visitor's registration, it will then be marked as "Expired" after the arrival date registered. QR code will not be provided to your visitors, unless you accept the registration.
Invitation |
No, residents do not need management’s approval to invite their visitors. By sending invitations to their guest, residents have already given permission to let the visitors in. So, when the visitors check-in at the guard house, security guards do not have to call the residents to get visitation approval.
Residents can invite neighbours and outsiders, such as family, friends, contractors and etc..
The QR code serves the purpose of quick and easy verification. By scanning the QR code via i-Neighbour Mobile App, the security guard will be able to see the information of the visitor. Security guard can edit the information of the visitor, if it is necessary.
Before a QR code and link are generated, residents are required to fill up the name of the visitors. Hence, the QR code generated has been tied up with the visitor's name. Security guard should not let the visitor in if the visitor's name is not the same as registered. Besides that, once the visitor has been checked-in to the community, the resident will receive a push notification. Resident can also view the information of the visitor.
An invited visitor can check-in with one QR code in a group or individual. Maximum of five visitors are allowed for group check-in.
Yes, you can fill up her information on her behalf. When you are creating an invitation, you have the options to either fill up completely or partially of the visitor’s information. Besides, if your visitor does not want to fill up her information via the link, she can complete the registration at the guard house.
Through i-Neighbour Mobile App, you can choose Multiple Invitation. By selecting Multiple Invitation, you are required to fill up the visitation information for only once. Visitation information includes Visit Type, Purpose of Visit and Arrival Date & Time. To generate a QR code and link, you are only required to enter the visitor's name. Then, you can send the QR code and link generated through your prefered social app, such as Whatapps, facebook, WeChat and etc..
No, it is not compulsory for the residents to fill up all information of the visitor. Residents are only required to fill up the visitor’s name. And, of course, i-Neighbour Mobile App provides flexibility to allow the residents to fill up all information of the visitor.
Upon inviting the neighbours, system will send a push notification to the neighbour via i-Neighbour Mobile App. The invited neighbours are required to respond to either accept or decline the invitation.
i-Neighbour is integrated with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Lift, in which residents and visitors can access to the permitted blocks and floors (high rise property) using i-Neighbour Mobile App. Hence, with this feature, the invited neighbours who are living in the different blocks can go to the host's unit, without having to trouble the security guards. Click here to know more about the BLE Lift.
Yes, a resident can invite any neighbours living in the same apartment, provided he knows the unit number and name of his neighbour. Before inviting the neighbours, the resident is required to enter the name of the neighbour. If the unit number and name do not match, the resident will not be allowed to proceed further.
Yes, the invited visitors can complete the registration at the guard house if they do not wish to fill up their information via the link provided. Likewise, the security guard can edit the visitor’s information, if it is not correct.
Yes, the invited visitor can choose to accept or decline the invitation. And, the resident (host) will receive a push notification via i-Neighbour Mobile App.
In this situation, instead of sending invitation, you can inform the guard of the expected visitor. Go to Visitors and select "Inform Guard".
Visitor comes in 3 categories:
• Upcoming – Show all invited visitor
• Checked-In – Show all registered visitor
• History – Show all previous visitor (Already checked-out)
All these visitor details, cannot be deleted.
However, for invited visitor, owner may cancel the invitation, providing that the visitor has not registered at the security guard house.
If there is any visitor already checked-in or Check-out (History), but that is not your visitor, you should directly report it as “Not My Visitor”.

Walk-In Registration |
Walk-In Registration is one of the registration methods in i-Neighbour's Visitor Management System. It is done by the security guards at the guard house to register the visitors on the spot.
This is decided by the management of a community. In the Visitor Settings page on i-Neighbour Web App, the management can choose whether security guards have to call the residents for visitation approval.
i-Neighbour system replaces the commercial intercom system. "Intercom" feature is already available in i-Neighbour Mobile App for FREE. Residents can find the contact number of management office and guard house in Call For Assistant page. While, for the security guards' account, "intercom" feature is part of the walk-in registration process, if the management wants the security guard to call residents for visitation approval.
In i-Neighbour Mobile App, the contact numbers of the residents are not displayed in the security guard's account. The security guards can only click on the call icon to contact the respective resident.
i-Neighbour strongly advises the management to provide a locked smartphone or tablet to the security guards. By locking a device, the security guards will not be able to see the call history, as well as misusing the device. i-Neighbour does not sell or provide smartphone or table. The management can choose any devices that are available in the market, at an affordable price.
In i-Neighbour Mobile App, security guards do not have the view of the residents' contact numbers. Security guard will be directed to call a particular resident after tapping on the call icon. Hence, i-Neighbour strongly recommends the management to provide a locked device to the guard house. So that the security guards cannot access to the call history on the device.
Only Internet connection and a tablet are required to use i-Neighbour system.
Smart Card Reader is an optional device that could help speed up the walk-in registration process and reducing human error, by getting required visitor's information from Malaysian Identity Card (Mykad).
A phablet or tablet is recommended for the guard house. The size is good and easy for the security guards to enter visitor's information, compared to a mobile phone.
The security guards can check-in the visitor without informing the resident, if and only if the management does not require the security guards to call residents for visitation approval. Besides, residents will receive notification via i-Neighbour Mobile App when their visitors have been checked-in.
Yes, walk-in registration and checking in-out visitors are still possible even if the internet is down. Offline mode is available on the security guard's account on i-Neighbour Mobile App. However, live notification is not possible. For example, when the visitor is checked-in, the resident will not be receiving a push notification immediately. Despite of that, all information will be uploaded and saved in the cloud server, as soon as when the internet becomes available again.
Visitor registration form is totally customizable by the management. The management decides what information is required from Pre-Registration, Invitation and Walk-In Registration.
Yes, visitor registration form for Pre-Registration, Invitation and Walk-In Registration is totally customizable. The management decides what information they require from the visitors.
1. Since visitor registration can be customized by the management, hence the management should not include unnecessary information in the visitor registration form. This is because the more information added, the longer time taken to complete a walk-in registration.
2. Use a Smart Card Reader to obtain required information from visitors' Malaysian Identity Card.
3. Management can create more than one guard house account. With more than guard house account, security guards can do multiple walk-in registration concurrently on different devices.
Smart Card Reader that i-Neighbour is selling can only be supported by smartphones (Android & iOS). Despite of that, i-Neighbour Web App works with any brands of Smart Card Reader.
Only the basic information, such as name, ID no., photo, gender and home address will be taken from the visitor's identity card.
Security guard should do the walk-in registration process, right in front of the visitors. If a Smart Card Reader is used, security guards should let the visitors to slot in their identity card into the reader themselve, and show them what is the information taken.
The bR301 Smart Card Reader that we are using is a common reader, only reads the smart card that is having similar type of chipset and microprocessor only, and if the eID or chip supports ISO 7816 protocol, then it can use bR301. Here are a list of countries that their citizen’s identity cards confirmed can be supported by bR301: Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia, UK, US, Thailand, Brazil, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Below is the country list that use smartcard as eID but not all verify with bR 301 Smart Reader.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smart_cards
There are three options of ID: IC, Driving License and Passport. After selecting the ID type, security guard is required to enter the ID No. Hence, in this case, security guard should choose driving license as the ID Type and then enter the driving license number.
Besides, security guard can also take a photo of the ID, if and only if it is required by the management.
Yes, Group check-in is allowed in walk-in registration. Upon selecting group check-in, security guard is required to enter the total number of visitors.
No, Multiple In-Out and Recurring visit type are not allowed in walk-in registration. Walk-in visitors are only permitted with One Time visit type entry pass.
Blacklist Menace |
Security guards can report a misbehaved visitor. While, only system admins (management) have the right to blacklist a visitor. In other words, approval from the system admin is required to blacklist a visitor.
No, residents do not have the right to blacklist their visitors. However, residents can leave a note on the visitor's visitation via i-Neighbour Mobile App.
A blacklisted visitor can be whitelisted by the system admin (management), via i-Neighbour Web and Mobile App. After the visitor has been whitelisted, then he will be allowed entry to the community.
To report a misbehaved visitor, the security guard is required to enter the reason. So, from the reason entered by the security guard, the system admin (management) will decide whether to blacklist the visitor or not.
No, a blacklisted visitor will not be allowed entry to the community at all! Upon submitting visitor registration, i-Neighbour system will check the visitor's ID and name. If the visitor has been blacklisted by the community, he will not be allowed to proceed further at all.
System checks the visitor's name and ID number. If the visitor is found to be a blacklisted visitor, then the visitor will not be allowed to proceed further with the registration.
Yes, the residents can invite a blacklisted visitor. This is because residents are only required to enter the visitor's name to send an invitation. However, when the visitor is being checked-in at the guard house, i-Neighbour system will check if the visitor is in the blacklist. A blacklisted visitor will not be allowed to check-in.
This is out of the control of the system. i-Neighbour system will only do checking on the registered visitors.
Perhaps the management can tighten the security rules by having all visitors in a group to register, before entering the community.
The resident will be notified via i-Neighbour Mobile App when his visitor has been reported by the security guard. Likewise, the resident will also be notified if his visitor has been blacklisted by the management.
No, the blacklisted visitor will not be allowed entry to the community at all.
Yes, the visitor can go to Community B, but not Community A.
Yes, the visitor will be alert via email when he has been reported and blacklisted.
The blacklisted visitor should go to the management.
Report Incident / Defect |
Management (system admin) will be able to see the report. If and only if your report has been shared by the system admin to the whole community, then only all residents can see your report. You can decide to whether allow the management to share or not.
Yes, you can. By turning off the toggle button for "Allow management to share with community", the management will not be able to share your report with other residents.
You will push notification on i-Neighbour Mobile App when the management has updated the status to be Resolved. Moreover, you will always be kept updated whenever the management leave a note on your report.
A list of incidents or defects can be customized by the management via i-Neighbour Web App. While lodging a report, residents can select incident / defect type from the list. If the incident / defect happened is not in the list, then residents can select "Others" and specify the incident / defect.
Residents can lodge a report via i-Neighbour Mobile App, without having to go to the management office. Upon launching i-Neighbour Mobile App, you will see the "Report" feature on the Home page.
Whoever has a view to your report is allowed to leave a comment.
Yes, it is. Management can create a list of incidents or defects that could possible happen in the community.
Notification recipient is tied up with the priority of the incident / defect. Hence, management or PIC can decide which admin to receive notifications for High priority, for example, of incident / defect.
Updating the progress of a report is made very much easy in i-Neighbour Mobile App. The concept is exactly like updating the status or location of a parcel being delivered. For example, the admin can update the status by saying that the elevator vendor has been contacted.
No, the reports will not be shared automatically. Management can only share a report with all residents in the community, if and only if the reporter allows.
Yes, admin can lodge a report too.
Yes, admin is provided a dashboard of pending report on i-Neighbour Mobile App. Pending reports are categorised based on the type.

The booking made by residents will be automatically cancelled, if the facility has been deleted from i-Neighbour Web App. The residents will be notified of the changes.
No. in i-Neighbour Web App, management can only add one facility of the same kind. In other words, management can only add one badminton facility. However, management can add multiple courts, rooms or units of the facility.
You do not have to do that. This is because if no facility is added, the Facility Booking feature will be hidden from the residents' view.
Smart Lock is one of the IoT integration products that i-Neighbour provides. Smart Lock can be installed at the facility, such as badminton court. With the Smart Lock, residents can access to the badminton court via i-Neighbour App, at the particular date and time booked, without having to get the security guards to unlock the door.

Management can update the Occupancy Status of the particular unit to "Non-Member" in Manage Unit module. After the occupancy status has been changed to Non-Member, the resident will not be able to login to i-Neighbour Mobile App as a resident. Hence, there is no Resident Pass in his account.
Yes, the residents can share the Resident Pass with their visitors and it is totally out of the system's control. So, the security guards are playing a very important role to keep the community safe. While scanning the Resident Pass, the security guard should check and verify the resident's identity.

No, the residents still do not have the rights to publish an announcement. However, the residents can inform the management and the management will evaluate the necessity of that information. The residents can find the management office contact number in the page of Emergency Contacts, on i-Neighbour App.
No. Announcement is for matters related to the community's issues only, but the residents can post their product and services in the "Yard Sale" segment of the app (under development now) for all the residents to view and take interest in.
This varies depending on the publisher of each announcement as they get to choose which category of recipient is given permission to view the announcement. While it's compulsory to select Admins, they can choose whether to include residents, committee and security guards
At the moment it's not possible. In the future, messaging feature will be added to the i-Neighbour App. With the messaging feature, the management can send private messages to specific residents.
All the announcements inside iNeighbour apps will remain until iNeighbour admin (Management Office) removed it.
