What do you do when a Pikey drives on the yard?

Your gate has gsm dialer. SIM card. Just text gate a code followed by number to add or delete. Can do it with laptop to check when gate opened but never bothered.

Yes you can send commands like latch open or closed and add remove access by text - lot easier to use the software though if you have lots of people all with different permissions

It can be as simple or complex as you want really depending on application

I assume it has a intercom facility but can you also set single use keypad access codes for deliveries etc?

Yes - intercom has serveral different buttons (one for each business that is here). Pressing it calls the phone number connected to that button and if not answered calls alternative numbers in turn so if away it can call your mobile or home number or whatever you set it to etc

Keypad can be used if you want to give someone a manual access code which can be time limited, temporary expires or permanent etc same as if you give anyone the number to dial in you can remove them or restrict when it will / won’t work

Really flexible system, have been been pleased with it and it does make our yard feel infinitely more secure

It’s a great thing for safety as well as we can see who is on site at anytime. If you had staff on time sheets etc the logs could even replace time sheets I guess

If I were an MOT Station inspector I think I would be investigating the testing station which tested the vehicle in 2017.

Why get a MOT and no tax - Was it actually tested ? How many other vehicles tested at that MOT station ar similarly not Taxed ? Strange...

You need a test before you can tax, so not unusual and dealers do it everyday when they sell a used car.
