Installing a gate in front of your home or office has become much more than simply expanding your white picket fence. Modern gate accessories are now available that not only provides better security, but do so in a more energy-efficient, stylish way.

Modern Gate Accessories

Advances in technology are constantly improving our way of life. While security gates were once thought of as a luxury item for the rich, now more affordable options are available. You can gain access through security gates via a number of methods: ID cards, security codes, fingerprints, and facial recognition to name a few. The technology is so advance, that some systems are linked to mobile devices through apps. Text alerts notify you when certain users pass by facial recognition devices. You can even see who’s at the gate from anywhere through live streaming video.

Energy-Efficient Gate Accessories

Why not power electric security gates with the sun? Solar panels can power gate openers, operators, batteries, and transformers associated with the gate. Depending on the system, some may require battery back-up, but others have the capacity to store solar energy on reserve.
