Read the plate. Open the gate. Own it outright.
License-plate recognition clears the plate in under a second, so the gate's already opening as the vehicle arrives — no fob, no remote, no app. We install it on the gate you already have, at one transparent price, with no dealer in the middle. Every crossing logged.

A short film, license-plate recognition at the gate, and the dashboard that runs it.
Reads the plate. Opens your gate. Logs everything.
A vehicle approaches, and its plate is read and authorized in under a second, so the gate is already opening as the vehicle arrives. With a barrier arm, it doesn't stop at all. No cards, no remotes, no app. Every crossing is logged with a plate snapshot, full vehicle image, and a short video clip — the record a guard used to keep, now kept automatically. It runs on-site, so the gate keeps working even if your internet drops. And one team runs it for you — hardware, software, and support — so you own a working system, not a project to manage.
Built, not bundled.
Most systems are assembled — a camera vendor here, a cloud login there, a dealer to wire it all together. We build it ourselves, so you own it, see the price up front, have it installed for you, and reach the people who built it when something breaks.
You own the whole system
No dealer lock-in, no leased black box — you buy the hardware, and it's yours. The $299/mo covers the intelligence on top: AI, updates, support, and the dashboard — not a hardware lease. 30-day money-back guarantee.
One price, in the open
Residential starts at $3,500 + $299/mo. Everything else is an itemized quote from your own photos in 48 hours — never a contact-us black box.
Installed for you, on the gate you have
We retrofit it onto the gate you already own — 90+ brands, no rebuild, fully reversible. You don't need an IT team or an integrator.
We run it — not just sell it
Buy a camera and you get a box to operate yourself. We monitor your gate around the clock, push updates, and support it — one team that built it, often catching a problem before you do. The relationship doesn't end at the sale.
Knows your regulars. Handles the rest.
A guard recognizes the regulars and waves them through, and figures out the strangers. GateGuardX does both, automatically, around the clock.
It opens for the plates on your list.
An authorized plate? The gate opens in under a second, the same rule every time, proven across 1.3M+ openings, and it runs at the gate even with no internet. It never opens on a guess.
How it reads any plateIt handles the “not on the list” case.
When a plate isn't recognized and Conversational AI is enabled (beta), it can talk to the visitor, check the reason for entry, apply your rules, and approve, deny, or escalate. Every exchange is logged.
How the AI agent worksKnown vehicles open automatically. Unknown visitors are logged — and, where Conversational AI is enabled (beta), screened and escalated.
An intelligent gate, not just a sensor.
Every GateGuardX runs on an on-site NVIDIA Jetson — an AI computer at the gate, not just a camera. Today it clears plates in under a second. The same brain can do more for operations that need it.
Remembers what it's seen
Can flag whether a vehicle has been here before, and when it last came through — beyond a yes/no list check.
Reads type & context
Can read vehicle class and the scene at the gate, so your rules fit what's actually arriving — a tanker, a delivery van, an unknown car at 2am.
Built around your operation
For sites that need more than open-or-closed, we build custom checks and processes on the gate with you.
Standard today: instant plate access, every crossing logged. Available on request & custom-built:vehicle recall, type & context, conversational AI, and processes we build with you — not standard out of the box; we switch them on when you want them.
Reads the plates single-shot cameras miss.
Most LPR systems take one photo and hope it's enough. Ours doesn't. Continuous License Plate Scanning (CLPS) captures dozens of frames per pass, then keeps the clearest one, so it can read dirty, bent, and fast-moving plates in dust, rain, glare, headlights, and low light — the conditions that defeat single-shot cameras. The result: 99.9% accuracy across 8,000+ U.S. plate designs, and it reads any Latin-alphabet plate internationally.
Because CLPS reads while the vehicle is still moving, most drivers never have to stop. It also handles wide gates with traffic moving both ways, not just narrow single-lane entries.
Three small parts. Your gate stays put.
The whole kit bolts onto the gate you already have, no digging, no rewiring, no structural work. Modular and fully reversible: cancel within 30 days and we remove it without a trace.
Gate camera
Reads plates clearly in any weather, day or night. Most sites need just one.
On-site computer
A small computer that decides who gets in, right at the gate, in under a second. The gate keeps working even if the internet drops.
Smart controller
Tells your gate when to open, using the same wiring your remotes already plug into.
You provide a powered gate, power, and internet — Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE, or Starlink for remote sites — we provide everything else, configured for your site before it ships. No recurring hardware costs.
Every crossing, every site. One screen.
A live log of every vehicle across all your gates, newest first: plate, direction, site, and the gate's decision.
Clear a visitor from anywhere, right from your pocket.
Type the plate, set how long, tap Create. The gate opens for that vehicle the moment it arrives, no booth, no call, no code to share.
Times are in Chicago (CDT) (GMT-05:00).
One platform. Two kinds of gate.
Running more than one gate? Every crossing across every site lands on one dashboard, with central lists and per-site rules. Multi-site operators →
Your systems, in step with the gate.
A REST API and signed webhooks keep authorized vehicles, guest passes, and photo-verified crossing events flowing between GateGuardX and the software you already run — no double entry, nothing to babysit.

}When the plate isn't on the list, the AI runs the conversation.
When a plate is not on the list, Conversational AI can greet the visitor, check your rules, and either approve, deny, or escalate. Anything it cannot verify stays shut and is logged.
A small, senior team, in production since 2023.
GateGuardX started in 2023 as a custom build for an oilfield logistics operator in Midland, Texas — that gate still runs 24/7 today. Hardware, computer vision, platform, and support all live in one team. We deploy it, monitor it, and keep it running, so when you call, you reach the people who built it, not a reseller. We deploy internationally, with live sites in the US, UK, and Serbia and a new one underway in Trinidad & Tobago. Wherever you operate, you contract with Metered LLC in the US; engineering is Machine Can See in Novi Sad.
These numbers come from real deployments — not lab tests — measured across 1.3M+ gate openings since 2023, at live sites running GateGuardX in the US, UK, and Serbia, with a new one underway in Trinidad & Tobago. See who runs it.
“The gate now allows access seamlessly, eliminating manual checks and reducing human error while improving traffic flow in and out of the yard.”
Built for sites where compliance isn't optional.
Every image, log, and plate is encrypted, in transit and at rest, and data stays on-site by default. Controls are aligned to SOC 2, NIST SP 800-171, and ISO 27001; a DPA is available, and AWS GovCloud / Azure Government hosting is offered on request. Each person gets only the access they need, every login is protected with two-step sign-in, and you control how long data is kept (CCPA- and GDPR-ready). For procurement, the full security package and a DPA are available under NDA.
The quick answers before you reach out.
- Will it work on my existing gate?
- Yes — if your gate opens by motor and a remote or button, GateGuardX can open it (90+ gate and barrier brands). Send two photos and we'll confirm your gate within 48 hours. It installs on the gate you already have, no rebuild.
- Do I have to replace any hardware?
- No. The camera, the small on-site computer, and the controller all bolt onto the gate and motor you already have, no digging, no rebuilding, and fully reversible.
- How long does installation take?
- Under a day per gate once the kit is on site, typically 2–3 hours residential, about half a day industrial.
- What does it cost?
- A one-time hardware kit plus a monthly platform fee. Residential gate automation starts around $3,500 for the hardware (yours to own) plus $299/mo for the software and service on a 24-month agreement; logistics and multi-site are quoted per site, sized to your gates and lanes. Send a few photos and we'll come back with an exact quote, usually within 48 hours.
- Does it keep working if the internet drops?
- Yes. Everything runs at the gate itself, so gates keep opening from the saved list of approved vehicles, and the full record updates online once the connection is back.
