Gate Security Planner
The gate is the deliberate weak point in any perimeter — it must deter, control who gets in, and record every entry. Set the gate width, whether vehicles use it, and the threat level to assemble the security features it needs. Planning figures; runs in your browser.
- 1Solid or anti-climb gate leaf
- 2Gate camera
- 3Gate & approach lighting
- 4Video intercom / door phone
- 5Access control (RFID / app / keypad)
- 6Boom barrier or bollards for vehicles
- 7Ground safety loop (never close on a vehicle)
Indicative planning list only — separate the person and vehicle checks, and let a security consultant detail a high-threat gate. Verify this against the actual site, the product datasheets and a walk-through before you commit. A camera watching the street beyond the gate captures passers-by, so post notice and follow DPDP good practice.
