AUTOMATED GATE

Smart Gate System

Gate automation is commonly recognised as one of the most secure options for your property. Automation Gates also gives a significant improvement in home security as they make it extremely difficult for burglars or unwanted callers to open the gates and gain access to your home, or even to approach the house.

Automatic Gate vs. Manual Gate

When it comes to choosing a gate for your house or an enclave or any private property, you will have the option of either a manual gate or an automatic gate. Though it is dependent upon your own personal preferences, which one do you want, but in this day and age when you have the options, having an automatic gate will be more advantageous for you than a manual gate. Let’s explore few of the reasons due to which benefits of automatic gates outweigh those of manual gates.

1. Security

• It is a no-brainer that gates provide security. The question is, are automatic gates more secure than manual gates
• The answer to this can be found if you just visualize the opening of a manual gate and that of an automatic gate. As the name implies, the manual gate will open if anyone physically pushes or unlocks or unlatches the gate, the gateman is paid monthly. Whereas, an automatic gate will open only when given a certain command. Where a manual gate can be opened by anyone, only an authorized person who has access to a remote control or who is recognized by the security system that comes together with an automatic gate will be able to open an automatic gate. The system will send message to your mobile device and to your in-house control room when your gate opened or forced to open. The security system may include face recognition, swiping a card, or punching in a passkey etc. An automatic gate thus provides fool proof security. It will only allow those people in who you wish to enter. Moreover, an automatic gate is a great deterrent when it comes to burglars and robbers. Also, it’s near impossible to escape from a house that has an automatic gate unobserved. Therefore, if security of your property is on your agenda, opt for an automatic gate.

2. Convenience

An automated gate eliminates the hassle that comes with large and heavy manual gates that many people struggle with or just do not want to get out of their car to open and close especially late at night or in bad weather. Just the press of a button on a remote control allows you easy access to your home.

3. Privacy

Privacy is important for every family. Choosing a suitable driveway gate for your property is the best way to protect your and your family’s privacy from the outsiders. The safety lies with the owner if it is an automatic gate. With an automatic gate, you can guard your property easily at the switch of the remote. In this way, you are able to easily control who enters and exits your property.

4. Higher property value

If you decide to sell your property one day, having an automatic driveway gate will increase the value of your property. A gate is an important feature that can attract potential buyers because of its functional benefits as well as aesthetic appeal.

5. Reduced insurance premiums

By installing an automatic gate on your driveway, your insurance company may lower your insurance premiums. Insurance companies are well aware of the benefits of these types of gates and how they can improve your security.

You have a variety of methods to unlock an electric gate.

A. Intercoms and Video entry systems

Visitors can use an intercom at the gates to contact you before you admit them. A handset in the house allows you to push a button to open the gates. If preferred, you can have a video entry system that allows you to see who is calling as well as speaking to them before opening the gates. Both hard wired and wireless versions are available.

B. Telephone based intercoms

A telephone-based intercom makes a call over a landline or mobile network. You can then take the call on any phone in the property or a mobile phone. By pushing a key on your handset, it is possible to open the gates from anywhere in the world! These systems are especially suitable for multi-user sites as they eliminate the need to run cables to each property.

C. Digital Keypads

Either as "stand alone" or integrated into the panel of an intercom they allow the entry of anyone knowing the code. Multiple codes can be used so individuals have their own code.

D. Induction Loops

An entry & exit loop is a device that detects a car being driven over it and signals the gate to open, just like the device hidden underground in front of an automatic door of a shop or office building. An exit loop allows a car to exit a driveway without a remote control, keypad or any other security device.

E. Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Automatic Number Plate Recognition is a technology that reads number plates via a camera reliably at high speeds, in the dark and transmits the data to the system to matched with the information in its inbuilt proprietary database, displaying selected information, e.g. driver name, image of driver, vehicle make/model. The gates will open when all criteria have been met.

F. RFID Windshield Tag

RFID Windshield Tag technology in order to identify vehicles approaching an entry gate through RFID readers. The authorized vehicles will carry self-adhering RFID tag and, during the approach to the gate, they will be recognized. In case of successful identification of the RFID tag, the system sends a command to the gate to open. At the same time, it registers the data of the vehicle, the driver’s tag and the date and time of the passage.

Retractable Bollards

They are not only very effective for security but are also very attractive for your property. The Automatic Rising Bollard sinks into the ground in less than 3 seconds by means of a remote-control device, allowing safe driving over.
