A gate system is the first security line for a parking lot or apartment complex. These systems can restrict access to vehicles and people by using proximity readers or a telephone entry system.
Engineered breakpoint #2
Sometimes, cars run right into the barrier arm, and it can be costly to repair the motor and shaft. However, a simple engineered break point can avoid these high-speed impacts.
Security
Whether you want to prevent parking lot theft or control traffic flow, barrier gates are the solution. Combined with an access device or AVR vehicle hang tags, only authorized vehicles can pass through. They're also ideal for controlling entry to private properties like apartments or gated communities.
The barrier arm is activated using loop detectors when an eligible card or code is presented. This allows for quick and secure entry while keeping non-authorized vehicles off your property.
Barrier gate system also come with license plate recognition technology that lets users gain entry without presenting a card or pass. This improves user convenience and eliminates the need for on-site security staff, making it a cost-effective way to boost security. Most importantly, these systems prioritize reliability to operate at peak performance continually. They're also scalable to meet evolving security requirements as your needs change. With a cloud-based management system, you can easily manage access permissions and receive real-time alerts from anywhere, regardless of location.
Convenience
A barrier system is an effective first line of defense for controlling and monitoring access to a parking lot or other area. It is easy to install and provides convenience for both pedestrians and vehicles.
Using a vehicle detection loop on the road surface or an access card reader, the barrier gate system opens for authorized vehicles only after passing over the sensor. Some systems also allow for manual inputs, such as cards, keyfobs, or a smartphone app, to authenticate a driver and trigger the barrier arm.
In some instances, the arm may hit something or be struck by another car when closing, which could result in damage or injury. Envera's high-speed barrier gates are equipped with gate strike sensors that notify the virtual guard when they hit a car or other object to minimize this. The virtual guard will then access community video to retrieve the vehicle's license plate that hit the arm and help recoup damages from the property owner.
Maintenance
While most businesses understand the importance of security solutions, only some realize that these systems require regular maintenance to function correctly. Unexpected breakdowns can cause significant disruptions to traffic flow and, if not addressed quickly, can result in costly repairs.
An adequately maintained barrier gate system will have its safety features tested and calibrated to ensure they work as intended. This includes checking that the sensors and safety edges are functioning correctly to prevent vehicle damage and ensuring that the photocells are working according to manufacturer guidelines.
Additionally, all mechanical components should be regularly lubricated to reduce friction damage and extend lifespan. Regular cleaning is also necessary to keep the system free from dirt and debris that can inhibit its movement or lead to malfunctions. Taking the time to service your barrier gate will help ensure that it works as it should and prolong its lifespan significantly.
Installation
A barrier arm works as a deterrent to unauthorized vehicles entering a property. Usually used for apartment complexes or gated communities, these barriers are often integrated with access control systems and chips, allowing only authorized vehicles to enter the premises. Some also have a call button so residents and guests can contact the system and request entry. This will enable visitors, service workers, and delivery drivers to enter when they cannot use their vehicle.
Different types of barrier gate system are available in various lengths depending on the property and its size. Before starting installation, technicians check the area to make sure there are no cables or pipes underground; drilling into them can cause damage. Once the location is determined, technicians will start fixing it in place, marking and excavating holes for the barrier arm and its base.
A lead-in wire connects The barrier arm to the vehicle loop detector board. The detector board reads the loop signals from the cars passing by and determines whether to open or close the barrier.
