Farnborough Park Private Estate

This application is also using ANPR controlled barriers however for a large private residential estate consisting of 234 properties. There are two roads that lead in and out of the estate and it commonly used as a cut through for local traffic.

With the use of our bespoke GateHOUSE Portal, we worked with the residential committee to adapt the portal to suit the park needs. Each resident has their own portal login to manage their own plates and visitors, reducing waiting times at the barriers by granting automatic entry and exit for registered vehicles.

Both road entrances were redesigned in keeping with the estate aesthetics. This consisted of new road surfacing at the entrance with a stone brick central island to house the call stations and ANPR camera posts. This doubled up as a planter in keeping with the high standards of the park.

At the main entrance point into the park, two FAAC B680 raising barriers in the RAL colour of the estates choosing were installed to control entry and exit. A security guard house is installed adjacent to the entrance. This main entrance is for all trades, visitors and residents. Any non-registered vehicle is granted access to the park by the security officers using the GateHOUSE portal software, logging the vehicle details, the reason for the visit and which property they are visiting.

The secondary road into the park was restricted to residents only thereby stopping the cut through route for local traffic. GSM call stations are installed to allow communication to the security hut at the main entrance with a backup line to our remote office.

At both entrances long rang access control readers have been installed to allow motorbikes the option of using a radio fob for entry and exit.

Not only does this solution stop the cut through traffic on the estate, security is greatly improved as all vehicles on the park must either be registered or have a legitimate reason to enter the park.

There are approximately 3,375 registered number plates across 234 properties. On an average month 24,000 vehicles go through the ANPR controlled barriers.
