Virtuality
Virtuality versus Reality. It is good to see photographs of finished electric gate installations and the end often justifies the means of getting there,but a virtual image displayed on the internet gives no idea of what has had to happen to achieve that result.

GSM Remote Switching
At lasts an alternative answer to the remote control, simply opening your gates by mobile phone?.
The AGS GSM Alpha relay board has been primarily designed for barrier / gate access control applications 'although can be used as a general purpose call or text activated relay'. The board also features an optically-isolated DC input which can be used to trigger the sending of a Short Message Service (SMS) status message.
The board is ideal for access control, remote equipment resetting and remote monitoring applications.

Industry developments, a seven year old child trapped in a gate in Manchester was cut free by the fire service and the incident was very close to being yet another fatality. Apparently the girl had tried to squeeze through the gap between the gate and the post.

Safety First
One year on in remembrance.
The industry will well remember the unfortunate fatalities of 2010, but has the industry really moved on, have the standard of installations improved for clients that are looking for these types of security access systems. In the main part the answer is yes, but the consumer is still confused as to the requirement for safety around these types of gate way. The cost for such projects has also increased accordingly, in some cases installation costs are up by £1000.00. It was also a disappointing year for Aesif in those attempts to involve manufactures and distributors in participation in setting an industry training standard for products, and so gate installer continually question installation requirement.

Approved Installations
Professionals or Cowboys?
As a consumer why should you use an AESIF approved installer over any other installer?
Well the law changed back in 2005!
This now meant that all major building work, plumbing, electrical, joinery and security systems on property now have to carry relevant documentation and certification in order to prove the work has met with the relevant standards.
Furthermore, financial organisations providing mortgages and insurance on property are also requiring certification that any works are completed to the relevant standards and formed part of the HIPs pack requirment. The entrance automation industry was directly affected by these changes and is one of the reasons for AESIF's formation.

Security expert
The Security expert Vince Domino believes that protecting your home is like the “peel the onion” concept. The more layers an intruder or thief has to get through, the less appealing your home is. Locks and fences put off the opportunist thief, but are not going to stop someone who has your home on their to do list. However, no matter how determined a thief is, getting through a tall, wrought iron fence or gate may not just be off putting, it should be virtually impossible. Vince Domino explains…
