Introduction
Automated gates are one of the most common ways to secure property. They can be used not only for your home but also for commercial and industrial properties. Earlier, automated gates were considered as a luxury item that only the rich people could afford, but now they are becoming quite popular among the general public. Automated gates offer more benefits than just security because they add value to your property and help in saving time with their automated features.
Vehicle Gates
Vehicle gates are used to control the entrance and exit of vehicles. They can be operated by push button, keypad, remote control, video entry system, card access reader and telephone entry unit.
There are different styles of vehicle gates; swing gates which are usually used in residential areas and slide gates which is used to provide access to large commercial premises. Bi-folding bi-parting vehicle gates are also popular as they can provide a large opening when opened but can be easily closed when not needed. Vertical pivot vehicle gates offer ease of operation together with high speed features.
Pedestrian Gates
Pedestrian gates are one of the most popular types of gates. They can be installed at entrances, exits or on pathways connecting different areas within a property. Pedestrian gates are generally made from steel, aluminum or wood and provide an aesthetic appeal to any type of residential security system.
The main purpose of pedestrian gates is to prevent unauthorized access into your home or workplace while allowing authorized users through without requiring them to press a button at the gate control panel.
Gate radio transmitters and receivers
There are two main types of remote controls. The first is a handheld remote, which you can use to open and close your gate from a distance. This can be particularly useful if there are more than one opening points on your property.
The second type of remote is a visor clip that attaches directly to the visor in your vehicle, allowing for simple access without having to take your hands off the wheel or remove any other items from your person. While this may seem less convenient than using a handheld device, it does make driving safer overall since you don’t have to switch focus between tasks in order to operate the gate’s controls.
Access Control System
Access control systems are a network of sensors, controllers and actuators that monitor and control access to a space. This can be used to protect your property from unwanted visitors, but it can also protect you from intruders by monitoring their activities.
An access control system will include one or more card readers installed at the entrance points to the property. These card readers identify who is entering and exiting the property by reading an identification card with an embedded chip. The reader then sends this information electronically to an alarm panel in another location, which processes the data before sending out any alerts or alarms if appropriate conditions have been met – such as when multiple people try entering through one door simultaneously or someone tries gaining entry after hours.
In addition to controlling physical access into premises via doors, there may also be additional sensors installed around perimeters along paths leading up towards entrances that would identify whether someone was approaching from far away so they could be stopped before they reached gates/doors etcetera (depending on how far away these were placed).
Simple Keypad Entry Access
A simple keypad entry feature allows you to enter your property with a code on a keypad mounted to a pedestal. You can get the code from the gate company or they may offer an app that allows you to program it yourself.
Visitor Entry Units
Visitor Entry Units are another great way to control access to your property. A visitor entry unit allows you to pair up a phone call with video and gain entry into your property. With this feature, you can always know who is at the gate from anywhere in the world. You can also use this system to open and close gates slowly so that no one gets hurt by an abrupt opening or closing of a gate.
The best thing about these units is that they can be controlled from any device with an internet connection, including smartphones, tablets and computers. This makes it easy for someone who lives far away from their property (like me) to check on things without having to drive out there every time.
Remote Entry Access
Remote access is an important and convenient feature that allows you to open your automated gate from anywhere. You can also use it to monitor the status of your gate remotely, which allows you to know if it’s working properly.
This can be especially useful if you are away on vacation or business trips and want to make sure that everything is okay at home. Remote access extends the ability of having a keypad at the entrance of your home into accessing it from anywhere with an internet connection. In addition, many gates have an app for smartphones so that you can open them with just a few clicks.
If there is no WiFi available in certain areas around where your automated gate is installed (or if there are other reasons why you don’t want WiFi), some models offer cellular connectivity instead which enables them to communicate with remote computers through signals sent over radio waves instead of cables or wires.”
Automated gates can help in security of your property and increase the value of your property.
Automated gates are a great way to secure your property. They can be used to secure the perimeter of a property, or just one section of it. For example, an automated gate might be installed at the entrance and exit points of a driveway so that access is controlled by a remote control or keypad. This allows you to monitor who enters and exits your property and provides an additional layer of security in case someone breaks into your home via the front or back door.
If you have pets on your property and need to keep them safe while still allowing visitors through the gate, you may want to install an electric pet fencing system around your home’s perimeter instead of using traditional fencing methods like wood slats or chain link fences—these types of fences tend not be very effective at keeping animals out because they’re easy for them climb over!
