Advantages Of Cell Phone Gate Opener Systems For Business And Residences

By Leticia Jensen


Today security fences and gates are becoming very commonplace in both residences and businesses. While these may be a great benefit in keeping trespassers off a property, they can also make it difficult for authorized people to be able to gain access. One option a property owner may want to consider using is cell phone gate opener systems for their entrances.

Security gates and fences are used in many areas of the country to keep both homes and businesses safe from vandals, trespassers and other unauthorized people. This should make the people who regularly spend time on the property feel much safer and can keep the items within the property secure. While this is a great benefit, it is important to come up with a system to allow authorized persons access to the property without requiring a lot of time and energy.

Very often security gates allow access through the use of equipment installed by the entrance. This may be a telephone ringing to the home or office, where someone will be able to buzz the person in. This might be a good system, but it might be time consuming and annoying for anyone who comes and goes on a regular basis. Keypads, which require a special code to be input, can also be used. However, this may be difficult as people will lose their codes or they may need to be changed frequently if the number is shared with unauthorized persons.

Another type of device commonly used was a remote, much like a garage door opener. This device could be a great choice if a person remembered to bring it with them. In addition, granting people access could be difficult if there was a shortage of remote openers available.

Fortunately, today many mobile devices may be used to allow access and eliminate the need for some of these other types of devices. Using a mobile phone system can be a great option as most people have cell phones and they generally know where they are at all times. This system will require all the cell phone numbers of authorized persons to be input into the system.

Using a cell phone to open a gate is generally an easy operation. The person will dial a number set up for access. The gate will then receive the call and look up the caller ID number to see if the number is on a predetermined list of authorized phone numbers. If the number is there, the gate will immediately open. This is often be a quick process for anyone using it.

Since the hardware needed to open the device is reduced, the owner will generally find their costs for installing this type of system may be reduced. In addition, they will not need to worry about purchasing extra remotes or other devices because most people have their own cell phones.

Setting up a system to use cell phones to open the gates at a home or business can make things much easier for users and those who administer the system. This can be a great advantage for all involved.
