Entry Logged (Photo + Timestamp)

No new gate. No reconstruction.

GateGuardX upgrades your existing gate so it opens automatically using license plates.

Only authorized vehicles get in.

Everything we add works with your existing infrastructure.

Cameras at the entrance
On-site processor that reads plates instantly
Smart controller that connects to your gate motor

Installation is fast and non-disruptive.

Works with nearly any powered gate (about 99% compatibility). No gate replacement.
