Darwaza is a QR-based doorbell and visitor alert system. You generate a QR code in the app, place it at a door, and visitors scan it to notify you.
FAQ
Clear answers for users, families, and organizers
Darwaza is simple in concept, but people still ask the same practical questions: does it need hardware, what happens when someone scans, is it private, can multiple people manage a door, and how Hajj mode fits in. This page answers those directly.
For individual users, Darwaza is designed to be free to start. The value is that you do not need to buy hardware first just to begin using it.
A visitor scans the QR code with their phone camera, opens the browser flow, enters their details, and sends the ring request. You receive the alert inside the app.
No. There is no camera to mount, no doorbell device to buy, and no electrician required to get started.
The scan opens a browser page for the visitor. They provide their information and then trigger the notification flow for the linked door or safety card.
Yes, the flow can collect an optional selfie so the person receiving the alert has more context about who is at the door.
Darwaza supports message and voice-style follow-up in the app, depending on the door setup and use case.
Darwaza is better described as privacy-conscious than surveillance-heavy. The product is designed around a ring flow, not around forcing always-on camera recording into every doorway.
Yes. The model works anywhere the visitor has a smartphone and internet access, and the owner is using the app.
Yes. Darwaza supports shared access so more than one person can receive and manage visitor activity for the same door.
Hajj Mode applies the same QR logic to pilgrim safety. If someone gets separated, a scan can help alert the right family or group contacts quickly.
Use the Darwaza app to create the Hajj entry, generate the QR code, and print the card before travel. The public Hajj landing page explains the flow in more detail.
Emergency cards are QR-based personal safety cards for situations where someone may need fast identification or contact support, such as children, elders, or people with medical conditions.
The live app availability in this repo is Android-focused. If iPhone support matters for your rollout, treat Android as the current production path and iOS as future expansion.
Darwaza Pro is best framed as the business and team-facing expansion of the core QR contact model. Product details should be treated as evolving unless the feature is already live in the app.
