Top Gate Intercom and Access Control Systems for Modern Homes
An automatic driveway gate is only as secure as the system used to open it. Modern access control systems allow you to verify visitors, grant temporary access, and open your gate remotely using your smartphone.
Types of Gate Access Controls
Consider these top access control options:
- Wireless Digital Keypads: Installed on a pedestal near the driveway, allowing visitors to enter a PIN code. Modern keypads store dozens of unique codes for guests or service workers.
- Telephone Entry Systems: Connects to your home Wi-Fi or cellular network, calling your phone when a visitor presses the button. You can speak to them and press a button on your phone to open the gate.
- Smart App Integration: Systems like LiftMaster MyQ allow you to view a live camera feed of your gate and open it from anywhere in the world.
