Remote Control Access

• The most common way to activate an automated gate
  is with a remote control. When the remote control
  is pressed, it transmits a signal to a receiver
  which is usually installed inside the gate
  operator. Once activated, the gate opens.
• This type of entry is good for any kind of gate
  owner. They are great for both commercial and
  private use, and are relatively easy to maintain
  and very cost effective.
• The only potential problem that is specific to
  this entry system is that the remotes can be
  stolen, so if security is your main concern, you
  may want to go with another option.
• Remote entry systems remain the most popular type
  of automatic gate opener on the market.

Automated Gate Card Readers  

• This method is very popular with commercial
  clients such as apartment buildings and
  multifamily complexes. With this type of system,
  a chip is built into a card. To open the gate,
  the card must be either swiped or held up against
  a card reader. The reader recognizes the card and
  opens the gate for entry.
• Compared to other access methods, magnetic card
  readers are the simplest and easy to use which
  allow for a slightly quicker entry along with
  more security.
• This makes it the ideal access solution when a
  large number of vehicles need to enter a site.
• The reason why it is more secure than clickers is
  because each card has a number and facility code
  which is location specific to the property.

7
Keypad Access

• Keypad Systems are the best solution for
  pedestrian access, which allow guests to enter
  only if they know the appropriate code.
• The gate is connected to a box with a numeric
  keypad that has the ability to hold a number of
  codes.
• The upside is that the gate is programmed to only
  open if a specific code is entered. The downside
  is that it requires memorizing a code.
• If the code is given out to too many people, you
  may run the risk of having issues and may want to
  change the code from time to time.

8
Telephone Entry Access

• This is generally the most popular and secure
  option for larger communities because human
  communication is required.
• When using a telephone entry system, people have
  the ability to scroll through a callbox which is
  housed in front of the community. The call box
  lists each resident and their respective
  telephone numbers so that if you want to gain
  access, you would have to call the resident and
  have them press a button on their phone for
  entry.
• Having a call box simply means you are able to
  effortlessly communicate with the person or
  people at your gates and have the ability to
  choose to open the gates from a remote location.
