What Kind of Gates and Arm Barriers Does GateGuardX Work With?

GateGuardX is designed for electrically powered gates and barriers only — we do not support manual gates.

We work with the most common gate types used at factories, warehouses, and residential communities, including:

Gate Type	Common Use Case	Description
Sliding Gate	Commercial/Industrial yards, logistics sites	Runs on a track; common in commercial setups
Swing Gate	Residential entrances	Opens inward/outward like a door
Barrier Arm	Gated communities, parking lots	Fast open/close; ideal for high-frequency use

💡 As long as your gate has an electric motor and a dry contact input, we can control it.

To enable license-plate recognition and automated access, GateGuardX hardware kit is required. If you already have an electric gate motor and compatible control board, you don’t need to replace the gate—GateGuardX can typically retrofit your existing installation.

✅ We assist with setup / support, provide warranty on hardware, etc.

Gate Type	Single-Lane Residential	Multi-Lane/Commercial
Sliding Gate	$1,000 – $5,000+	$7,500 – $12,000+
Swing Gate	$800 – $8,500	$4,000 – $10,000+
Barrier Arm	$1,000 – $3,000	$5,000 – $12,000

Cost Components:

Installation Labor: $750 – $4,000 depending on complexity.

Permitting: $0 – $300 (electrical/building permits vary by region).

Ongoing Maintenance: Minimal monthly electricity; Typical repair costs vary; many customers see minor maintenance, with major repairs rare.

⚠️ Important: GateGuardX does not build or install physical gates or barrier arms. Our focus is on providing the hardware and software that enable your gate to open via license-plate recognition. The gate frame, motor, and barrier (if applicable) must be supplied and installed separately.

✅ We do organize and install the GateGuardX hardware — cameras, controller, and processing unit — that integrates with your gate and makes it fully automatic.

Component	Description
Mini-PC for Image Processing	NVIDIA Jetson-powered, low-power AI computer (40–60W)
1–2 PoE Cameras	License plate recognition cameras (infrared, weather-rated)
Gate Controller	Dry-contact interface to control gate motor
Power Kit	Hardwire kit, or PoE splitter for gate controller and cameras
Cloud Access + Remote Setup	First-time configuration and onboarding included

💡 Typical Hardware Kit costs range from $3,500 to $4,500 depending on number of cameras, gate width / number of entrances.

✅ Free site assessment
✅ Most installations completed within 2-3 weeks of order
✅ 30-day money-back guarantee
✅ 1-year hardware warranty included
✅ We provide remote/on-site support and configuration help
✅ No surprises - we provide complete upfront pricing

3. Subscription / Software Fee (Monthly, Based on Vehicle Count & Usage)

GateGuardX charges a monthly software subscription fee.
This covers: the cloud management dashboard, authorized-vehicle list, software updates, optional cloud storage, support, etc.

The amount depends on:
• Number of vehicles (or plates) you register / process per month
• Number of entrances / cameras in your system
• Additional features (e.g. guest approvals, AI/human oversight, etc.)

We don’t list a “one-size-fits-all” price here because different installations have different usage patterns. Contact us for a subscription quote tailored to your needs.

💡 Monthly software subscription starts at just $99/month for residential use (up to 50 vehicles). Most commercial sites pay $150-$300/month. We'll provide your exact pricing during our free consultation.

Quick Cost Estimate:
• Residential Setup: $4,500 - $6,500 + $99/month
• Small Commercial: $8,000 - $12,000 + $150-250/month
• Large Commercial: $12,000 - $16,500 + $250-400/month
