Board & finance brief

The one-page case for your board.

For the person who's already sold and now has to get it approved. The cost over time, what it replaces, the production proof, and the guarantee, on one page you can send to your board or print for the meeting.

1 · What it costs over time

Total cost of ownership, residential.

A gated-community deployment is a one-time hardware kit plus a managed monthly platform fee. These are the published residential figures, fully managed, on a 24-month agreement.

Residential total cost of ownership: one-time $3,500 hardware kit plus $299 per month.
WindowKit + platform feeTotal
Up front (one-time kit)$3,500$3,500
Year 1 (kit + 12 mo)$3,500 + $3,588$7,088
2-year term (kit + 24 mo)$3,500 + $7,176$10,676
5 years (kit + 60 mo)$3,500 + $17,940$21,440

~$4,288 a year averaged over five years. Logistics, parking, and multi-site deployments are quoted per site (the number moves with gates, lanes, and cameras), and typically run at a fraction of the staffing they replace, see the next section to put a real number on yours.

2 · What it replaces

Set it against a staffed gate.

A single gate staffed around the clock runs about $216,000 a year ($14,400–$18,000 a month at standard US contract rates), roughly $1.08M over five years, before overtime, no-shows, and turnover. That's the line to put the deployment cost next to. For communities without a guard, the baseline is the quieter cost: fob and remote replacement, re-keying, call-box upkeep, and staff time on access complaints.

3 · The proof
  • In production since 2023, 1.3M+ gate openings logged.
  • 99.9% plate-read accuracy; the gate opens only for plates on your approved list.
  • Live sites in the US, UK, and Serbia, with a new one underway in Trinidad & Tobago.
  • Reference call with a customer in a setting like yours, available on request.
4 · The guarantee
  • 30-day money-back guarantee, we remove the hardware and restore your gate.
  • 1-year hardware warranty.
  • No gate replacement, it bolts onto the gate you already have, fully reversible.
  • Runs on-site, so the gate keeps working even if the internet drops.
5 · Security
  • AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit.
  • Cameras that meet US federal security rules (NDAA).
  • Per-person permissions with two-step login; every record view is logged.
  • Audit-ready exports; data stays on your site by default. GDPR/CCPA-ready.

The line for the board:a managed system that runs the gate for a fraction of a staffed post, proven in production since 2023, removable inside 30 days with the gate restored, and yours to verify with a reference call. Send a few photos and we'll put an exact, itemized number on your gate, usually within 48 hours.
