Its strange that they hate dogs. And the reverse is true. All our dogs have hated them. Years ago one climbed out of the van, uninvited, when he saw Twm he went to climb back in but the dog had his backside. He just left!The last dog we had always followed the van up the yard and watched it all the way out.
They can be latched open on busy days by sending a text , but pressing a button or dialling a number when half way up farm drive means they are open when you get there and isn’t really a lot of effort
Anyone who needs legitimate access like employees, agronomist etc all get the number so they can dial themselves in - you can restrict hours or remove permissions and check logs to see who came and went when if you have need to do so
Makes the yard feel 1000% more secure - seems mad they were ever open and anyone could drive or wander around our yard in the past now

Sounds a good system. What was the approximate cost? Do you have a link?

I get them asking the same. My reply is I am skint after fitting the cctv and remote alarm system.
It was about £2000 fitted to existing gates by a local company http://midlandcontrolsystems.co.uk/commercial/ could have been cheaper but we have a pair of gates and fitted double actuators to each so it cant be simply rammed open, a single gate with single ram (like I have at home) would cost less - costs about £5/month in SIM charges but our yard is busy with several business using it, I have the same system at home and £20 PAYG sim has lasted 2 years already and still going strong on lighter use
Edited to add the entry system is made by Telgaurd

Which sim do you use?
Tried with giffgaff on some container alarms, but need to be triggered every so often or the number gets cancelled
Tesco PAYG - its set on auto top up if balance drops below £10 it tops up £10, its makes calls as its an intercom system so inactivity not an issue, I have had a gate without intercom at an old property though and that was set up to send a status text once a month just to keep Sim active

Neighbour bought brand new welder off em and he always says not to but did and worked once and burnt out ?
Nearly all untaxed vehicles ???
Know a lad who "stood his ground" when some pikeys came into his yard asking to buy red diesel. He told them to F off and later that week they emptied his tank for him and set his straw shed on fire to thank him for the diesel ...
We back on to a pikey camp and regularly go and help out billy jo ray the resident boss pikey when he needs a caravan moving or some stone levelling out or anything really he's a lovely chap, pays cash before we start and always brings a bottle of whiskey round at Christmas ... can't say we ever have anything go missing out of our yard ..
