Intercom Systems There are a number of audio and video entry systems available to allow communication between the gates and the house. Any number of additional telephone handsets or video monitors can be added to the system. The gates can be operated from any monitor. It is also possible to incorporate a digital keypad into the external station to gain access through the gates. Proximity, Card and Key access Devices Proximity card and key access systems can all be incorporated into any automation system. Usually used for large numbers of users.
Safety Devices

Timers Time clock systems can be added to open gates at certain times of the day or week for tradesman, bin men, postman or business working hours.
