Now here's an idea that could be implemented: Only have the red button on the guest entrance side. Force non-residents to go past gate house (where one exists). Would enhance the false appearance of a gated community and perhaps discourage some of those who have no legitimate business entering a residential section. It would be similar to a true gated community where all non-residents have to stop at the gatehouse, except they would not have to be checked in, just waved through or hit the button where there is no gatehouse, or it is unattended. I think the prospect of a clear camera image of their face would also discourage those with ill intent.
Yes, there will be times when a resident drops, fumbles or forgets their card, but then we could ostracize them on social media, as usual
