Control systems

Various means of controlling the gates are available such as:

Radio control transmitters

Usually most domestic systems are operated by means of remote control transmitters which will operate the gates from a distance of approximately 50m away; long range transmitters are also available if required.

Proximity Systems

Proximity systems are usually installed to larger multi-user sites. These systems operate by presenting a card or fob to a vandal resistant reader. The gate is then activated allowing access. Cards or fobs can easily be added or deleted individually without the need to cancel other cards/fobs programmed on the system.

Proximity System

Intercom systems

Intercom systems enable a visitor at the gate entrance to communicate with persons within the property. Visitors would press a call button on the intercom unit positioned at the gate entrance which would call a handset within the property; this would then allow
two-way conversation and operation of the gates if required.

Hard wired and wireless systems are available.

We also offer a more sophisticated GSM/BT type intercom. These systems utilise the mobile or land line telephone network, allowing a call to be made from the gate entrance to either your land line or mobile telephone, again this would allow two-way conversation and operation of the gates. The beauty of this system is that if the call from the gates is to your mobile phone you could speak to a visitor and operate you gates from anywhere in the world where you’re mobile has a signal.

Single and multi user systems are available for all the above variations.

Video intercom systems

As with the voice only system the occupant answers a call and may allow entry, but has of course the benefit of seeing the visitor on the monitor. Cameras and monitors are available in colour or monochrome, there is also the option of memory, so that if calls are made whilst you are out, you are able to review the images stored on your monitor.

Wireless intercom systems

This may be used where cabling to the property is difficult, the systems available will operate up to 100 metres in most locations.

Digital key pad

Keypads allow persons with the correct access code to operate the gates. These are useful if other users are to operate your gates. The keypads we use will allow 50 separate codes to be programmed and codes can easily be added or deleted when required.
