Gate automation, made simple and scalable.
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.
Cost Components:
Installation Labor: $750 – $4,000 depending on complexity.
Permitting: $0 – $300 (electrical/building permits vary by region).
Ongoing Maintenance: Minimal monthly electricity; repairs average $500–$1,000 over time.
Below are estimated ranges for electrically powered gate installation in the U.S. (gate + motor + labor):
| 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 |
As long as your gate has an electric motor and a dry contact input, we can control it.
A typical GateGuardX kit includes:
| 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 |
The Mini-PC processes everything locally, ensuring fast response and full autonomy even if the internet goes down.
