Entry and exit for automated systems.

There are automatic gates sliding down that will automatically open when they detect your vehicle’s location, meaning you don’t require the remote.

Ground loops are the most common system for exit reasons. The ground loop is positioned under the driveway’s surface. It is able to detect whether there is a car over it.

Another option for automatic exit is using infrared sensors. These unlock the gate after vehicles are detected as moving toward the gate.

These systems can be programmed to shut off at certain hours. We can also alter the sensitivity so that a pet, dog, or person isn’t triggering the gate.

Enhance the security of your home
