There are many reasons why people decide to install automatic gates to their property, all of which need to be considered before purchasing and installing.
Controlling access to the property is one of the main, obvious reasons. As the access control systems fitted to the gate automation will only let authorised users through. Audio and video communication and control systems can identify visitors before you let them in. This also ties in with the choice to install a gate automation system for security, as you control who has access to your property. A closed, secure gate can also be a deterrent to any would-be burglars looking for a clear get away and some insurers will offer discount when reliable security gates are installed.
Some people choose to install a gate automation system for convenience. With the latest technology you can open your gates from the comfort of your car, or with some systems, anywhere in the world. Automated gates can also have an impact on the aesthetics and privacy of your property. Some people choose underground automation as it is neatly hidden from sight and can enhance the look of their property.
