These days, one is nearly as likely to encounter security gate access control systems at middle-class or multi-family developments as in upscale neighborhoods. Working class families, single parents, renters and suburban subdivisions are more frequently installing at least psychological barriers such as walls and gates. Others - particularly communities that cannot afford full-time guards - are enhancing those physical barriers with electronic passcodes or some other vehicle access control security system.

Why this phenomenon? Middle- and lower-income groups have come to recognize the value of a protected community. Parents love knowing that their children can mix freely and safely with other members of their close-knit community. Neighbors know their neighbors, and can feel confident that no one who wasn't welcomed into the neighborhood by a resident will prey upon the community. Far from being exclusionary, an appropriately designed system gives people the confidence to open up to neighbors and share that sense of commonality. That is because the knowledge that you and your children are protected is the greatest freedom in the world.

The brain of the SafeHouse software is the Entry Controller, a sophisticated program that features a one-of-a-kind distributed processing function for the ultimate performance and reliability. This feature provides speedy entry for residents and guests, reduced access control security system downtime and more usable features for better flexibility in programming. In other words, set up the Entry Controller to meet the community's particular needs, rather than settle for software that doesn't quite fit.

SafeHouse offers different types of secure entry setups, which can be as basic or as sophisticated as necessary. Security gate access control systems range from video monitoring with multiple views of the main entry to easy-to-use turn-key operations. Each can be arranged to fit a community's preferences.
