What is Gate Automation and How Does It Work?
Investing in security is one of the best decisions any business can make. But what
Whether you’re responsible for a school, hospital, industrial estate, residential or other property, you will want to make sure employees, residents and visitors feel secure and that equipment, belongings and information is protected.
ai security is the leading provider of access control systems in London, Essex and the South East. Our access control systems provide a reliable first line of defence against intruders while being unobtrusive and convenient for residents, staff and visitors, by managing access and regulating only authorised people to enter a premise or even a specific room and restricting access to unauthorised people.
Access control systems can be computer-based with an electronic card/fob access control system that uses a special “access card/fob”, rather than a brass key, to permit access into the secured area. There are a range of options available for granting access including PIN codes with keypads, ID cards, electronic fobs, radio frequency fobs and even biometrics.
Can be used to control access on one or many separate doors in a building. Access is gained by using a numeric code, or PIN with a keypad, or by presenting a proximity token or magstripe token, depending on which type of reader is fitted. As a result, each door has to be individually programmed. Stand-alone systems are great for smaller sites with a relatively small number of users, token management is simple, and the system can be extended easily as your requirements change.
Is a system where the doors are controlled from a central point or computer via a network. This system offers the flexibility of managing a single or multiple doors from a single point. These systems are great for medium to large sites as they make managing large numbers of doors and users easy.
Don’t leave your business vulnerable to unauthorized access. With AI-Security, you can trust that our access control installation services will provide the protection and control your facility needs.
At AI-Security, we specialize in providing top-tier access control installation services to help businesses enhance their security and manage access to sensitive areas. Whether you’re looking to install a new access control system or install new CCTV’s, our team of certified professionals ensures a seamless and secure installation process that fits your specific needs.
As the doors are controlled by powerful electromagnets, they are released only if an authorised person is detected. Should a fob go missing or a person is no longer allowed access the device or code can simply be removed from the system.
Computer-based systems allow organisations to track employee movements.
If someone loses their keys it often means expensive replacements or changing the locks completely. With an access control system, it is simply a matter of reprogramming the system to deactivate the lost card or fob and issue the person with another activated device.
You can control and monitor entry to specific areas on the premises with different levels of access for different people – it is even possible to restrict entry and movement around a property for specific individuals.
Access control systems are flexible and can be used where restricted access is for just one door or for more complex requirements including multiple doors and timing restrictions. The system can also be programmed to release the locks when the fire alarm is triggered or during an evacuation so that safety is not compromised to achieve security.
At AI-Security we cover London, Essex, Hertfordshire, Surrey and Kent. We will ensure that no matter where you are, your intruder alarm system is installed to provide maximum security and protection for your property.

There are three types of access control:
Access control in a business means the policies, procedures and technologies used to control who can access the company’s physical spaces (such as offices, labs or data centres) and digital resources (such as databases, networks or applications). Effective access control ensures that only authorised personnel can access sensitive areas or information, reducing the risk of theft, data breaches and other security incidents. By prioritizing customer success, businesses can provide tailored services that cater to their customers’ specific needs, making it easier for them to find solutions. This can be achieved through physical security measures (like keycards or biometric scanners) and digital controls (like user authentication and role-based permissions).
Installing security gates involves:
The British Standard for access control systems is BS EN 50133-1:1997. This standard covers the requirements for planning, installation, operation and maintenance of access control systems to ensure they are reliable and secure. It covers areas such as system components, security grading, environmental conditions and performance criteria. Compliance with this standard is often required for access control systems in commercial and government buildings in the UK.
A security gate can cost anywhere from £1,000 to £3,000 for a basic one. More elaborate ones with automated systems, high end materials or custom designs can cost £5,000 to £10,000 or more. Size of the gate, single or double and whether you need intercom systems or security cameras also plays a part in the overall cost.
Yes, a gate can add value to your UK property. A good quality and secure gate will enhance the curb appeal, add an extra layer of security and privacy, all of which are desirable features for buyers. The exact amount of value added will depend on the gate, the overall look of the property and the demand for gated properties in the area.
The cheapest gate to install is a simple manual gate made from basic materials like wood or chain-link. A basic wooden gate can cost as little as £200 to £500 for the gate itself and £200 to £500 for the installation depending on the size and complexity. Chain-link gates are also very cheap, £100 to £400 for the gate and £100 to £400 for the installation. These gates are basic but lack the durability and looks of the more expensive ones.
A barrier gate can cost between £2,000 to £6,000 in the UK, depending on the type of barrier (manual or automatic), length and height of the barrier and the complexity of the installation. Automatic barrier gates with remote control access or integration with security systems will be at the higher end of this range. Electrical work, concrete footings and permits may also be extra.
A security fence gate can cost from £500 to £5,000 or more depending on the material (steel, wrought iron, aluminum), size and design of the gate and whether it’s manual or automatic. A simple steel gate can cost £500 to £1,500, a more robust automatic gate with added security features can cost £3,000 to £5,000 or more. Decorative elements, keypad entry systems or security cameras will also add to the cost.
The cost of an access control system can vary greatly depending on the complexity and features required. In the market today, there is a variety of access control solutions available, catering to different building types and specific client needs. A basic system for a small business could start at around £1,500 to £3,000 including installation and a more advanced system for a larger organisation could be £5,000 to £20,000 or more. This cost includes hardware, software, installation and initial setup but ongoing maintenance and upgrades will add to the overall cost.
The cost per door can be from £500 to £2,500 or more depending on the system and features. A basic keypad or card reader system would be at the lower end of this range and systems with biometric readers, wireless access or integrated video surveillance would be more expensive. Additional costs can include wiring, installation and any software licenses.
CCTV stands for ‘closed-circuit television’, which is more commonly known as video surveillance. CCTV cameras provide monitoring and recording of their surroundings 24/7 and provide valuable data during a criminal or antisocial incident.

If an incident occurs, you can save and download the footage and store it for as long as you need it.

There are differences in the way analogue and digital CCTV cameras collect and record their data. Analogue cameras record images which must be converted to digital format. To view the video captured by analogue cameras, the DVR must be connected to a router or monitor. To be viewed remotely, it must be broadcast through an internal network.
Digital CCTV on the other hand has no conversion process as the video is recorded in digital format. This footage can be viewed remotely. Analogue systems are now known as an outdated form of camera security. Now is the time to upgrade to a digital system. To update your system, contact us today.
Security camera night vision is an essential feature that you should opt for when selecting security cameras. Modern CCTV technology offers excellent night vision properties that allow you to monitor your premises 24/7. Before you purchase CCTV, always check to ensure they offer night vision. At ai security, we offer CCTV products with this feature.
