Automatic Gate Entry Console

[twinjayhawks]

I am looking for an console to control my swinging automatic entry gate... I would like the ability for a guest to hit a button and call my cell phone to request entrance. I can then hit a button on my phone to allow them access or tell them to get lost.

I have one where they key in a 4 digit code... the problem is when I give it out I need to go up and delete the code so they don't have access without my knowledge ever again.

Has anyone used something like this that they can recommend?

There is some info at:
Driveway Gate Buyers Guide, Gate purchasing Guide, Market Guide For Driveway Gates

and I see products mentioned at:
CelAccess, Cell Phone Access Control for Driveway Gates-1
DoorKing, DKS, Door King 1802 Telephone Entry Control System

I think most of these systems use the home phone system though ...

I installed an alarm system that has GSM capability, so it can use the cell system to call me when a certain condition exists without depending on the landline which would be the first thing the badguys would cut. Whatever you put out there is going to cost you a monthly service fee, just like another cell phone. You could put up a note with your cell phone number on it and have them call you. Then you reduce the problem to sending a signal to the gate to open. My alarm system also has the ability to do that because it supports X10 devices. But you're getting into a fair bit of money and some work if you do it yourself. Wireless would work if it's within a reasonable distance, otherwise you'll also have to run some signal wires out there. Maybe someone else knows of a more dedicated solution.

What you are asking about is known as a Telephone Entry System. Just google those key words and you'll find plenty of information.

Our front gate is controlled by one from Select Engineered Systems.

They need to be connected to a dedicated telephone line in order to function. So you will have an extra expense every month, but it's well worth the cost. The local thief/pizza delivery guy will never have access to any entry code.

Your visitors will contact you via the system which will place a call to your home or cell or whatever number you want. You will be able to speak to them and decide if you want to grant access. If you do, just press a number on the phone and it will open the gate. If you deny access just hang up the phone.

the hopoverfence link i posted uses radio freq up to 500 feet... no phone lines. Other ones use phone lines (trenching)

This sounds like what I need. What kind of $$$ would this cost to get set up... other than the phone line?

Thanks for the info... my entrance gate is 1/2 mile from my house so I don't think that one will work... and i don't want to trench a line up there from the house.
