Video doorbell TA2021

A video doorbell, also known as a smart doorbell or doorbell camera, is an upgraded version of a traditional doorbell that incorporates a built-in camera, microphone, and speaker. It’s connected to your home’s Wi-Fi network and allows you to see, hear, and speak to visitors at your front door from anywhere using a smartphone app or other connected devices.

Here are the key features and how they work:

  • Built-in Camera: This is the core feature, providing a live video feed of your doorstep. Most video doorbells offer high-definition (HD) video, and many include features like night vision (infrared or color) for clear viewing in low light.
  • Motion Detection: Video doorbells are equipped with sensors that detect movement in front of your door, even if someone doesn’t ring the bell. When motion is detected, you’ll receive an alert on your phone. Many advanced models use AI to differentiate between people, pets, packages, and vehicles, reducing false alarms.
  • Two-Way Audio: A built-in microphone and speaker enable you to have a real-time conversation with whoever is at your door, whether you’re home or away. This is useful for speaking with delivery drivers, guests, or even deterring unwanted visitors.
  • Remote Access (via App): Through a dedicated smartphone app, you can view the live camera feed, receive notifications, and communicate with visitors from anywhere with an internet connection.
  • Recording and Storage: Video doorbells typically record footage when motion is detected or the doorbell is pressed. This footage can be stored either locally (e.g., on an SD card within the device) or in the cloud (often requiring a subscription service).
  • Connectivity: Most video doorbells connect to your home’s Wi-Fi. They can be either hardwired to your existing doorbell wiring for continuous power or battery-powered for easier wireless installation.
  • Smart Home Integration: Many video doorbells can integrate with other smart home systems and devices, such as smart speakers (like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant) or smart locks, allowing for a more connected and automated home security experience.

Benefits of a video doorbell:

  • Enhanced Security: Provides real-time monitoring of your front door, allowing you to see and record who comes and goes, deterring potential intruders and package thieves.
  • Convenience: Answer your door and communicate with visitors from anywhere, without having to physically be home or get up to open the door.
  • Peace of Mind: Know who is at your door, even when you’re not there, and receive alerts about any activity.
  • Evidence Collection: Recorded footage can serve as valuable evidence in case of a security incident.

Pedestrian gate electric lock with remote control

* Two remote controls included *DC 12 V pedestrian gate electric lock with a remote control is a security system that allows you to lock and unlock a walk-through gate using an electrical mechanism, typically activated by a remote control. This provides convenience and enhanced security, as you don't need a physical key to open the gate. Here's a breakdown of what it entails: How it Works:
  • Electric Lock Mechanism: Instead of a traditional manual deadbolt or latch, an electric lock uses an electrical impulse to control a bolt or latch. This impulse can come from a control board connected to various access control devices.
  • Remote Control Activation: A key component is the remote control, which sends a wireless signal (radio frequency) to a receiver connected to the lock's control system. When the signal is received and recognized, the lock is instructed to engage (lock) or disengage (unlock).
  • Integration with Gate Systems: These locks are often integrated with automatic gate openers or access control systems. When the gate closes, the lock can automatically engage, and when a remote signal is given, it disengages to allow the gate to open.
  • Power Source: Electric locks require a power source, typically low voltage (e.g., 12V DC). Many systems include a battery backup to ensure continued operation during power outages.
Types of Electric Locks Commonly Used for Pedestrian Gates:
  • Solenoid Locks: These use an electromagnet to extend or retract a bolt, securing or releasing the gate.
  • Electromagnetic Locks (Mag Locks): These consist of an electromagnet mounted on the gate frame and a metal strike plate on the gate itself. When power is applied, the electromagnet creates a powerful magnetic force that holds the gate shut. Removing power releases the lock.
  • Electric Strikes: These replace the standard strike plate on the gate frame. They contain a solenoid that, when activated, pivots or retracts to release the gate's latch. They are often combined with a traditional keyed doorknob or lever.
Key Features and Considerations:
  • Remote Operation: The primary benefit, allowing you to open or close the gate from a distance.
  • Automatic Operation: Many models automatically lock when the gate closes, improving security.
  • Fail-Safe vs. Fail-Secure:
    • Fail-Secure: The lock remains locked when power is lost. This is common for high-security applications where you want the gate to stay secure even during a power outage.
    • Fail-Safe: The lock unlocks when power is lost. This might be preferred for safety reasons, ensuring an exit path in an emergency.
  • Holding Force: This indicates the strength of the lock in resisting forced entry, measured in pounds (lbs).
  • Compatibility: Ensure the electric lock is compatible with your specific gate type (wood, metal, swing, etc.) and any existing or planned access control systems (keypads, intercoms, smart home systems).
  • Manual Override: Many electric locks include a manual release key or mechanism for use in case of power failure or remote control malfunction.
  • Durability and Weather Resistance: Given that they are outdoors, look for locks built with durable, weather-resistant materials.
  • Integration with Other Access Control: Beyond remote controls, these locks can often be integrated with:
    • Keypads (for code entry)
    • Intercom systems (audio/video communication and remote release)
    • Smartphone apps (for remote monitoring and control)
    • Biometric readers (fingerprint, face scan)
In essence, a pedestrian gate electric lock with a remote control offers a modern, convenient, and secure way to manage access to your property through a pedestrian gate.

Door Strike Lock

$69.95

Ship or pick up from our office.

Door Strike Lock

*Fail-Secure/Fail-Safe *Capacity: 100 Kg *DC 12 V
An electric strike is an electromechanical lock release device that replaces a standard door strike plate.
It allows a door to be opened remotely, typically via an access control system, without manually retracting the latch. When activated, the electric strike releases the latch, enabling the door to be opened. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Functionality:
  • Replaces Standard Strike:
    Electric strikes are installed in the door frame, taking the place of the standard strike plate. 
  • Remote Release:
    They are designed to work with various access control systems, such as keypads, card readers, or intercoms. 
  • Activation:
    When an authorized signal is received (e.g., a code is entered, a card is swiped), the electric strike releases the latch, allowing the door to be opened. 
  • Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure:
    Electric strikes can be configured in either a fail-safe or fail-secure mode. 
    • Fail-safe: In this mode, the door unlocks when power is lost, making it suitable for safety applications where access is needed during power outages. 
    • Fail-secure: In this mode, the door remains locked when power is lost, requiring power to unlock, making it suitable for high-security applications. 
How it Works:
  • The electric strike contains a solenoid, which is an electromagnet.
  • When the solenoid is activated by an electrical signal, it moves a component (like an armature) that allows the latch to move freely.
  • This movement releases the door, allowing it to be opened. 
Key Differences from Other Locks:
  • Electric vs. Magnetic Locks:
    Unlike magnetic locks, which use powerful magnets to hold the door closed, electric strikes release the latch mechanism. 
  • Remote Access:
    Electric strikes offer remote access control, allowing doors to be unlocked without manual intervention. 
  • Versatility:
    They can be used with various locking mechanisms, including cylindrical, mortise, and rim exit devices. 
Common Applications:
  • Access Control:
    Electric strikes are a core component of access control systems in commercial and residential settings. 
  • Security:
    They provide a higher level of security compared to standard locks, especially when used with fail-secure configurations. 
  • Safety:
    In fail-safe configurations, they ensure safe egress during emergencies. 
  • Specific Areas:
    They are commonly found in reception areas, daycare centers, and other locations where controlled access is needed.

Smartphone Gate Controller

$76.80

Ship or pick up from our office.

Smartphone Gate Controller

A Smartphone gate controller module primarily connects to your existing gate opener by essentially "mimicking" the action of a traditional wired push button or a remote control. Here's a breakdown of the common connection methods:
1. Wired Connection to the Gate Opener's Control Board (Most Common):
  • "Dry Contact" or "Push Button" Terminals: Most gate opener control boards have terminals designed for a wired wall control panel or push button. These are often labeled as "COM" (Common), "PUSH," "START," "CYCLE," or similar.
  • Relay Connection: The Wi-Fi gate controller module typically contains a relay. When you send a command from your smartphone app, the module activates this relay. The relay then momentarily closes a circuit between the designated terminals on your gate opener's control board. This "short circuit" or "dry contact" action is interpreted by the gate opener as a signal to open or close, just as if you had pressed a physical button.
  • Power Supply: The Wi-Fi module itself needs power. It can often be powered directly from the gate opener's control board (if it provides a suitable low-voltage output, e.g., 7-32V), or it might require a separate power adapter (like a 5V USB power supply).
2. "Hacking" an Existing Remote Control (DIY Approach):
  • Some DIY solutions involve wiring the Wi-Fi module to the internal contacts of an existing gate remote control.
  • The module then "presses" the button on the remote control electronically, sending the same signal the remote would normally send to the gate opener. This is less common for commercial products and more of a hobbyist project.
    Key Components and How They Work Together:
  • Wi-Fi Connection: The module connects to your home's Wi-Fi network (2.4 GHz). This allows your smartphone (via the internet) to communicate with the module.
  • Control Board (within the module): This is the "brain" of the module, receiving commands from your smartphone and translating them into signals for the gate opener.
  • Relay: The electromechanical switch that closes the circuit on the gate opener's control board.
  • Input Terminals (optional): Some modules may have inputs for sensors (e.g., magnetic sensors) that can tell you the gate's open/closed status, which is then communicated back to your app.
    General Installation Steps:
  1. Locate the Gate Opener Control Board: This is usually found within the gate opener's housing.
  2. Identify the Control Terminals: Refer to your gate opener's manual to find the terminals for a push button or wall control.
  3. Wire the Module: Connect the output wires from the Wi-Fi module's relay to the appropriate control terminals on the gate opener's board.
  4. Power the Module: Connect the module to a suitable power source.
  5. Connect to Wi-Fi and App: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect the module to your Wi-Fi network and pair it with the smartphone app.
  6. Test: Test the functionality from your smartphone.
    Important Considerations:
  • Compatibility: Always check the compatibility of the Wi-Fi module with your specific gate opener brand and model. Some modules are universal, while others are designed for certain manufacturers.
  • Wiring Diagrams: Always consult the wiring diagrams provided by both your gate opener manufacturer and the Wi-Fi module manufacturer.
  • Safety: If you're not comfortable with electrical wiring, it's best to consult a professional electrician or gate technician.
  • Wi-Fi Signal Strength: Ensure a strong 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal at the location of the gate opener for reliable operation. You may need a Wi-Fi extender if the gate is far from your router.
