Autonomous gate access

The gate that doesn't need a guard.

License-plate recognition — ANPR/LPR — reads and clears the plate in under a second, so the gate's already opening as the vehicle arrives, every crossing logged, every site on one dashboard. It installs on the gate you already have.

GateGuardX · 01, Product

Replaces the manual gate guard. Keeps your gate.

A vehicle approaches and its plate is read and authorized in under a second, so the gate is already opening as it arrives, with a barrier arm, it doesn't stop at all. No cards, no remotes, no guard booth. Every crossing is logged with a plate snapshot, full vehicle image, and a short video clip. Runs on-site, so the gate keeps working even if your internet drops.

What gets installed

Three small parts. Your gate stays.

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

GateGuardX · 02, Conversational AI Beta

When the plate isn't on the list, the AI runs the conversation.

Beyond the access list, the AI brings a real conversation to the gate, greet the visitor, check your rules, decide. Anything it cannot resolve escalates to your team, logged.

Who's behind it

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, so when you call, you reach the people who built it. For US customers, sales, support, and your agreement run through the US company.

Trust

Built for sites where compliance isn't optional.

Every image, log, and plate is encrypted, both stored and in transit. 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).

Questions, answered

The quick answers before you reach out.

Will it work on my existing gate?
Almost certainly. If your gate opens by motor and a remote or button (nearly all do), GateGuardX can open it. It installs on the gate you already have, no rebuild. Send two photos for a yes/no within 48 hours.
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, sized to your gate and sites. 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.
