GateCam: Apartment Entry Exit Gate Control 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.

Reliable Power & Connectivity
GateCam works anywhere, even in locations without wired power or network. Its solar panel, backup battery, and built-in 4G LTE keep it powered and connected around the clock, giving apartment managers full visibility and control over gate operations and vehicle access wherever it’s installed.
High-Quality Vehicle Capture
Equipped with a high-resolution sensor, GateCam captures vehicles and license plates in sharp, clear detail. Its night vision and wide dynamic range (WDR) adapt to any lighting condition, from bright sunlight to total darkness. Smart detection ensures every vehicle is accurately recognized, helping managers keep gate access consistent and reliable.
