Overview
Mumbai, August 2024. Ahuja Towers, a 53-storey high-rise in Prabhadevi, Mumbai, has chosen GateGuard to manage vehicle entry and exit. GateGuard ANPR is integrated with the building's existing boom barriers.
The problem at the gate
As more residents moved in, the number of vehicles at the gate grew. The management wanted to keep residents and visitors secure without slowing the gate down.
- Unauthorised vehicles entered through outdated access methods.
- Manual checks caused congestion at peak hours.
- Wait times at the entry points reached up to 10 minutes.
- There was no real-time view of vehicles entering and leaving.
How it works
- The camera reads the number plate as the vehicle approaches the barrier.
- GateGuard checks the plate against the approved list of resident vehicles.
- For a registered vehicle, the relay opens the boom barrier with no guard action.
- Every passage is logged with the plate, the time and an image, so security can review any entry later.
The work covered camera placement at the entry and exit points, configuration of the recognition software and the link to the boom barriers, with little disruption to residents.
