I'm trying to come up with a worthy proposal for our apartment committee to secure the compound's gates
19 apartments in a complex
4 pedestrian gates along perimeter with hydraulic arms
gates are 20 feet apart in a line along the fence, have 110VAC moderately easily within reach and have hydraulic arms to close them.
Approximate distance between each apartment and its closest pedestrian gate is 20-50 feet
Need for a way for visitor to approach at least two of those gates and buzz a selected apartment (intercom not vital but nice)
Need for a way for dwellers to remotely open any gate.
Need for a way for dwellers to either use a key/remote FOB to let themselves in through any gate.
I'm thinking our options are:
- Telephone enabled system hard wired to dial apt. tels. (expensive,tedious wiring, keeping in mind it's more than one gate!)
- Wireless doorbell (do they really work?) + some sort of electronic striker - still plenty wires.
Can anybody point me in an alternative direction? Preferably the most wireless solution?
P.S. I've been consumed on this forum since I joined yesterday! Great articles and threads to learn from. Thanks!!
