Gate Entry Control Systems

Some gated communities, usually called gated communities, are staffed by private security guards and are often home to high-value properties, or set up as retirement villages. Some gated communities are secure enough to resemble fortresses. The system employed is usually referred to as Gate Control.

In its modern form, a gated community is a form of residential community containing controlled entrances for pedestrians, bicycles, and automobiles, and sometimes characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and fences. The entry process is usually monitored or controlled by a manned guard. This process is referred to Gate Entry Control.  Gated communities are a type of common interest development, but are distinct from intentional communities.
