The Technology Behind Smart Gate Access Systems

How it Works

1. Installation:

Before installation, we ask for the make and model of your gate or barrier arm to confirm compatibility (we support 99% of systems). If one isn’t installed yet, we’re happy to recommend proven options.

We’ll also request site photos to suggest the best camera placement.

GateGuardX includes four components:

1. Gate or barrier arm

2. LPR-ready, RTSP-compatible cameras (1 or more)

3. Gate controller (placed near the gate motor)

4. Small server (can be placed in a server room)

All devices communicate over the local network (LAN), and the server should have Internet access so we can handle remote setup, updates, and monitoring. The cameras and controller are PoE-compatible, making installation simple.

We recommend LPR/LPC cameras, which prioritize license plates in the video for clear, reliable captures—day or night. Bosch is our preferred brand, but we support any RTSP-compatible LPR model.

Installation can typically be handled by your IT team. If not, any CCTV installation company can easily manage it using our setup guide.

2. Maintenance:
The system is virtually maintenance-free—just an occasional cleaning of the camera lenses if they get dusty (usually every few months or less).

3. Support
We offer full remote support, including updates, diagnostics, and system tuning. Once online, everything can be managed by our team to ensure smooth operation.

HARDWARE

You will need:

• Gate: Sliding, swinging, or another type that suits your property.
• Cameras: Capable of providing clear visibility of license plates.
• Smart Gate Controller: For automating gate operation.
• Server for Local Processing: A compact and energy-efficient Mini PC (30W).

All required hardware except the gate is included in our packages. If you need help choosing a gate, we’re happy to assist.

Cameras Capture License Plate Data

• Cameras equipped with PoE (Power over Ethernet) are installed at the gate.
• They continuously scan and capture license plates as vehicles approach the gate.

Local Network Connection

• The cameras send the license plate data to the GATEGUARDX Server via the local network.
• This ensures real-time communication without delays.

GATEGUARDX Server Processes the Data

• The GATEGUARDX Server is installed in a secure server room.
• It uses Continuous License Plate Scanning technology (CLPS) to accurately identify the license plate, even if it is bent, dirty, or damaged.
• The server checks the license plate against the authorized access list.

Smart Controller Manages Gate Access

• The Smart Controller is installed inside or next to the gate motor.
• It is directly connected to the gate motor to control the opening and closing of the gate.
• Once the GATEGUARDX Server verifies an authorized plate, it sends a signal to the Smart Controller to open the gate.

Internet Connectivity (Optional)

The system can operate with or without an internet connection:

• With Internet
Enables remote monitoring, real-time updates, and centralized access management for multiple locations.

• Without Internet
The system works locally, ensuring gate automation even in offline environments.
