Door King 1812-Plus/Access Plus
For decades the DoorKing 1812 phone entry system has been the industry standard outside single family home vehicle gates. From Burlingame to Beverly Hills to Boca Raton they are everywhere. The 1812 has a lot of capability which is often under-utilized. It accommodates time zones, multiple entry codes, color video cameras and can be used in conjunction with timed entrance loops when a home owner wants the gate to open for visitors during certain hours.
When the best gets better...and at a very modest cost increase this is very exciting news! In May 2009, the DoorKing 1812 is being upgraded to the 1812-Plus and the IP intergrated 1812-AccessPlus. Visit Residential Phone Entry System/Intercom for all of the features and benefits of these new models.
The 1812-Plus offers the following new and improved features:

A stylish new curved top housing which is a nice change from the traditional 1812 box.
Many more programming options for multiple timezones and access codes.
Upgrades to the power supply and audio quality to improve the sound quality on both ends...even with marginal phone wiring to the gate unit.
Answering machine by-pass so that the 1812 can now work fine even in line with an answering machine.

The 1812-AccessPlus goes MUCH, MUCH further with the following IP based capabilities:

By running a network cable out to the 1812-AccessPlus unit at the vehicle gate, it is now possible to:

Tie to Home/commercial property Lan or Wan.
Fully capable of controlling up to six doors/keypads/card readers/garage door devices.

In essence, this is an intuitive, fully functioning access control system for the home or small commercial property at a very low cost and free software interface! We predict this will become a very popular small access control system and hints at more IP capability in DoorKing's additional phone entry systems.

Please call us at (650) 595-4283 so we can discuss how these new models might meet the needs of your single-family, multi-unit residential or commercial property.

Rental CCTV Quick Install Systems
A common situation property owners face is how to respond quickly to a vandalism or theft when budgets are constrained and/or decision making processes for capital upgrades are long. We recommend you consider installing one of Bay Cities Automatic Gates Quick Install CCTV Vaults.
The CCTV Vault is a self contained DVR with cameras that will be installed on your property within 12 hours of your request. And because it is a rental unit you pay by the day or week and can cancel your contract at a moments notice. This allows the ability to respond quickly, deter further issues and allow time for property owners to decide what long term solutions will be needed.
Please contact us at (650) 595-4283 and we will explain the service.

FAAC Automated Bollard
Now there is a terrific solution for pedestrian roadways with occasional authorized-only vehicle traffic such as emergency, public transportation, maintenance, or construction vehicles.
