Automated Gate Systems Offer Many Benefits to Multi-Family Properties
A multi-home property can be a tricky situation. Many times, we work with customers who need automated gate systems for properties that have two or three houses behind the same gate. They don’t have the budget for a full commercial system like those used in large subdivisions, but they understand that the automation still needs to be more sophisticated than what you’d install at a typical single-family home.
Start by considering the entry needs of all families. Will residents change frequently, requiring a system that can be easily updated for security? If so, a GSM receiver may be ideal. With this setup, cell phones activate the gate opener instead of handheld transmitters. Phone numbers can be added or removed individually by the administrator, and phones can’t be lost or taken when residents move out (unlike transmitters).
An exiting device should also be installed to allow families and guests to leave the property easily and safely. Finally, safety devices are essential for any multi-family property. No one wants a liability or lawsuit caused by a guest of another household affecting their own family.
