An Introduction to Barrier Gate System

Publicado el 22 de octubre de 2024, 17:36

Barrier gates are an effective deterrent if you need to prevent tailgating in your residential complex or increase security at a parking lot. The best ones close quickly to prevent unauthorized vehicles from sneaking behind the first car.

To ensure your barrier gate system functions correctly, install signs and train staff on its proper usage. Also, choose a model compatible with your access devices for easy integration.

 

 

Boom Barriers

Boom barriers can help reduce management costs by streamlining entry and exit at businesses, parking lots, residential communities, or toll booths. They also increase security and safety, providing additional protection to sites that require extra surveillance and monitoring.

They work with access devices to identify vehicles, verify identification, and authorize passage. This eliminates the need to wait and provide identification cards, shortening the waiting time without compromising security.

Boom barriers can be operated manually or automatically. Manually operated boom barriers are primarily used in high-traffic areas with more demanding security and efficiency requirements. Automatic barriers leverage smart technology to operate and are integrated with cameras that read number plates, and push-button systems for simple operation.

 

 

High-Speed Barrier Gates

Most barrier gates are designed to be self-closing and operate without much user interaction. They also come equipped with safety mechanisms such as photocells and an emergency manual override button.

Adding barrier gate system to your gated community will help deter pedestrian trespassing and reduce tailgating, the practice of a second vehicle sneaking through a barrier after an authorized car has exited the parking lot or garage. These gates close quickly to minimize the chances of unauthorized cars making it through and can include LED lighting for added visual appeal. Some can even break away from the wall if they get hit so they can be reset without permanent damage. These features can decrease your barrier arm's maintenance and save you money on additional security near the entrance.

Magnetic Loop Systems

Detection loops work with your barrier gate to ensure only authorized vehicles can pass through. The detection loop, a continuous length of copper wire, emits a magnetic field that, when disturbed by something large and metal, like a car, triggers the relay to open the barrier gate system.

The current in each leg of the loop has a different polarity toward each other, resulting in what’s called a null or cancellation effect between the legs near the vehicle. The closer the loops are to the car, the more sensitivity they will have. When sizing your loops, account for driveway size and the typical size of vehicles expected to use the gate system. This will help you determine how many turns to add to your loops.

 

 

Call Button

A call button system for gate barriers works with keypads, remote controllers, intercom systems, and other access systems to provide a quick way for visitors to request and receive property entry. It can also be used for emergencies.

An optional barrier arm skirt prevents pedestrians from walking under the barrier when it lowers and protects the barrier's base from damage. It also adds a decorative element to your facility.

A timer lets you establish when your gate barrier should remain open or closed (for example, between 8 AM and 4 PM). The Parklio system has a built-in timer that is easy to set up and customize based on site requirements.

 

 

Remote Control

Barrier gate system is a great way to automate security and reduce staffing costs. They also require minimal maintenance, lowering operating expenses even further.

There are various ways to control the barriers, including cards, camera recognition, and VoIP phone-controlled ones. When a vehicle approaches, the camera captures the license plate and sends it to the system for analysis. If the number figures in an authorized database, it signals the barrier to open up.

The barrier arm can automatically rebound when it contacts something as it closes, minimizing damage and injury. Engineered breakpoints are available to preventtailgating,in which a second vehicle attempts to squeeze through the opening before closing. It’s important to regularly lubricate the sensor and transmitter antennas and test the arm.
