A Barrier gate is an effective way to secure your property from unauthorized vehicles. These security gates prevent tailgating (a second vehicle "sneaking in") and close quickly to avoid hitting any objects in their path.
A card reader, keypad, or remote control can control these systems automatically. They also have backup power options in case of a power failure.
Types
There are many barrier gate system, ranging from simple to complex. Most include a control mechanism that manages the barrier's operation and various technologies, including Radio-Frequency Identification, access cards, keypads, biometric systems, and remote controls. They also have a power supply and sensor systems determining when the barrier should open or close.
In addition, these systems can integrate with ANPR cameras or parking management systems to prevent unauthorized vehicles from entering your property. They can also be configured to require drivers to pay a fee to enter or exit, and some can even track vehicle movements over time.
Several types of boom barriers exist, including straight rods, bi-folding, and cantilever gates. Some also come with LED lights that can be triggered to illuminate the area when needed. Some models can be configured to automatically open and close based on pre-set schedules, saving you time. Other features may include photocells that help to avoid closing on pedestrians or other obstacles in the barrier's path.
Installation
A barrier gate system can be used in a parking lot to restrict vehicle access. It can be integrated with an access control or AVR vehicle hang tag to allow authorized vehicles to enter and leave a parking lot. It can also be used to collect payment from drivers for parking fees. This type of system is ideal for residential properties and office buildings.
To use a barrier gate, you need a vehicle loop detector. This detector consists of a wire installed into the ground or paved surface. Its lead-in wire connects to the barrier gate's controller.
The barrier gate automatically rises and lowers if a vehicle passes over the loop detector. It can also be operated manually using a remote control. The barrier gate will need maintenance for proper functioning. This includes:
Regularly checking the mechanical drive.
Ensuring the system works correctly.

Maintenance
The maintenance process for a barrier gate system includes regular inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment. This helps to keep the gate in good working condition and reduces the risk of a malfunction or security breach. It also helps to prevent minor problems from becoming more significant issues that require costly repairs or downtime.
A technician familiar with your barrier gate model will perform a thorough visual inspection to ensure it's in good working order and that all parts function correctly. They will also test and calibrate the spring, sensors, and arm to ensure they respond to commands sent from the control panel.
They will also clean the arm to ensure it's free of dirt, debris, and other foreign objects that could damage the components. They will also lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and wear and tear. They will also check for loose wires that could cause a power disruption.
Pricing
The costs of a barrier gate system vary depending on the project's specific needs. In general, automatic barriers are more expensive than manual models. However, they require less maintenance and feature features that make them more efficient. These include self-closing mechanisms, obstacle sensors, and remote access. Additionally, they can be controlled by a card reader, smartphone app, or other forms of electronic entry.
Commercial areas may opt for a monetized entrance system that requires drivers to pay a fee. This helps prevent revenue loss from vehicles that slip into parking garages without paying. These systems also have gate strike sensors to notify virtual guards or passive video surveillance.
HySecurity offers crash-certified barrier gates for high-traffic applications. These durable, reliable models are designed to quickly and safely block traffic and provide safety for pedestrians. They are also compatible with a variety of parking lot. This includes a U-Link connection for seamless integration with other security and traffic management solutions.
