GateCam: Apartment Gate Access Control LPR Camera

GateCam combines a solar-powered 4G camera with PLACA.AI to give apartment managers full control and real-time visibility of vehicle entry and exit, boosting both efficiency and security. 

Automate secure entry with wire-free gate control

Safer Communities

Records all vehicle entries/exits to strengthen security and aid investigations.

Faster Entry and Exit

Reduces congestion at busy gates with hands-free resident vehicle recognition.

Simpler Operations

Prevents most unauthorized entries through automated checks and alerts.

Automated Resident Access

PLACA.AI integrates with GateCam to allow gate access without keycards, tags, or stickers. Its license plate recognition (LPR) system automatically opens the gate for approved vehicles, reducing congestion during busy times and providing residents and guests with a convenient, hands-free entry experience.

Guest and Vendor Management

Temporary guest and vendor access can be easily managed directly through the PLACA.AI platform. Tenants can pre-register visitors, and property managers can authorize service contractors for scheduled times. Unauthorized or expired vehicles are automatically flagged, giving managers complete control of property access without needing staff at the gate.

Centralized Enforcement and Insights

Every vehicle entering or leaving the property is securely logged in PLACA.AI’s cloud platform. Managers can view daily traffic reports, receive instant alerts for unauthorized vehicles, and initiate enforcement actions when needed. With centralized management and real-time notifications, overseeing gate activity across one or multiple properties is simple and efficient.
