WHAT ARE THE CHOICES?
There are many factors to consider when deciding on the
right system.
Control access:
Audio and video communications and control systems can identify callers
before you let them in.
Security:
Restricted access control devices from physical perimeter protection to
comprehensive electronic means of controlling access to secure areas together
with surveillance which often enhances protection.
Cut out unwanted traffic:
Gates, barriers and bollards control traffic, personnel or visitors and
are often installed to stop short cutting and deter all but authorised visitors
and occupants.
Prevention of opportunist theft:
A closed gate is often a deterrent to opportunistic burglars or vandals.
Prevention against illegal activity:
Well placed bollards can prevent ramraiders and vehicle theft.
Stop parking abuse and turning:
Closed gates or barriers will prevent the blocking of entrances and driving
in to restricted areas.
Privacy:
Close board or solid gates will help to keep prying eyes and unwanted visitors
out.
Convenience:
You can open gates from the comfort of your own car.
Aesthetics:
A gate system can improve the look and stature of your property and can
be designed to be sympathetic to all building designs and environments.
Insurance:
Some insurers may offer discount when enhanced perimeter protection is installed.
What you should consider when thinking about a system:
- What is the level of security you require?
- What is your primary reason for having a system?
- What materials do you want the gate made out of?
- Do you have a view on the style and design which will work best for you?
- How many cars need regular access and how often?
- Is a gate the best option?
- How will the gate system open?
- Who can use the system?
- Do you need automatic closing?
- How do people leave and are there any other exits?
- Do you need a record of authorised personnel moving through the gate?
- Do you need to monitor vehicle movements?
- Do you want to speak to visitors before you let them in?
- How will pedestrians gain access?
- Do you want to be able to see visitors before you let them in?
