What to Expect Once GateGuardX is Running
GateGuardX makes your gate open automatically with license plate recognition. No remotes, codes, or attendants — just drive up and the gate opens.
1
Drive Up to the Gate
Our camera instantly detects your vehicle as it approaches the gate. You don’t need to stop, use a remote, or call anyone.
2
License Plate is Scanned in Real Time
High-accuracy AI reads your license plate using powerful NVIDIA Jetson hardware — even in low light, rain, or dust.
3
Plate is Checked
GateGuardX securely checks your plate against the authorized list.
4
Gate Opens Automatically
If your plate is authorized, the system sends an instant signal to open the gate.
5
Every Entry is Logged
All vehicle passages are recorded with time, image, plate, and direction. Review them anytime in your secure dashboard.
6
Not on the List? AI or Human Assistance Steps In (optional)
If the plate isn’t on the list, our conversational AI engages the driver or routes the request to a human assistant

Installation
1. Site Assessment (Free)
• We start with a quick site check — photos, a call, or an on-site visit if needed.
• We confirm your gate type (sliding, swinging, barrier), check for power and internet, and recommend the best camera placement.
• Within 48 hours, you’ll get a custom installation plan and quote.
We request site photos (gate from front, approach, lighting, gate motor box) so we can suggest optimal camera placement and ensure recognition accuracy.
Before installation, we ask for the make and model of your gate or barrier arm to confirm compatibility (we support 99% of systems). If no gate/motor is installed yet, we’re happy to recommend proven options.
2. Preparing the Gate
• If you already have an electric gate with a dry contact input, you’re ready.
• If you’re installing a new gate, your gate contractor handles the gate frame and motor.
3. Installing GateGuardX Hardware Kit
• Our team (or a certified partner) installs the GateGuardX hardware kit:
• Camera(s)
• Gate controller
• Mini-PC for Image Processing
• All devices are connected via PoE or local power.
4. Connecting the Software
• We configure the software and connect it to the cloud dashboard.
• Your initial Authorized List of license plates is uploaded and tested.
5. Testing & Handover
• We run test passes with vehicles to confirm recognition accuracy.
• You get access to the dashboard, training if needed, and full documentation.
Typical Timeframe:
• Small residential: 2–3 hours
• Commercial gate or depot: half a day to full day (depending on lane count and complexity)
GateGuardX provides the hardware kit–cameras, gate controller, and image server.
You (or your local contractor/installer) are responsible for the physical gate structure, motor, power, and any civil or electrical work needed to mount the components.
Subscription / Software
GateGuardX includes cloud dashboard access, software updates, access-rule management, logging, and remote diagnostics. Subscription cost depends primarily on how many license plates you will authorize and how many gates/sites you manage.
The system is virtually maintenance-free — just occasional lens cleaning (every few months) or as needed due to environmental conditions.
Cameras & controller are built for outdoor durability. Hardware is covered by a 1-year warranty. We offer spare parts and certified partner maintenance if required.
