How it Works

GATEGUARDX is an advanced license plate recognition system designed to automate and streamline gate access. Here’s how it works step by step, as shown in the diagram:

HARDWARE

You will need:

Gate: Sliding, swinging, or another type that suits your property.
Cameras: Capable of providing clear visibility of license plates.
Smart Gate Controller: For automating gate operation.
Server for Local Processing: A compact and energy-efficient Mini PC (30W).

All required hardware except the gate is included in our packages. If you need help choosing a gate, we’re happy to assist.

1

Cameras Capture License Plate Data

 • Cameras equipped with PoE (Power over Ethernet) are installed at the gate.
 • They continuously scan and capture license plates as vehicles approach the gate.
2

Local Network Connection

 • The cameras send the license plate data to the GATEGUARDX Server via the local network.
 • This ensures real-time communication without delays.
3

GATEGUARDX Server Processes the Data

 • The GATEGUARDX Server is installed in a secure server room.
 • It uses Continuous License Plate Scanning technology (CLPS) to accurately identify the license plate, even if it is bent, dirty, or damaged.
 • The server checks the license plate against the authorized access list.
4

Smart Controller Manages Gate Access

 • The Smart Controller is installed inside or next to the gate motor.
 • It is directly connected to the gate motor to control the opening and closing of the gate.
 • Once the GATEGUARDX Server verifies an authorized plate, it sends a signal to the Smart Controller to open the gate.
5

Internet Connectivity (Optional)

 The system can operate with or without an internet connection:

 • With Internet
Enables remote monitoring, real-time updates, and centralized access management for multiple locations.

 • Without Internet
The system works locally, ensuring gate automation even in offline environments.
