Exit Loop Detector
An exit loop detector is a system designed to automatically open gates or barriers for vehicles leaving a secured area. It works primarily on the principle of electromagnetic induction and is a common component in automated access control systems for driveways, parking lots, and commercial properties. Here's how it generally works:- Inductive Loop: A wire loop, usually rectangular, is buried beneath the surface of the driveway or exit lane. This loop is connected to a loop detector unit.
- Electromagnetic Field: The loop detector sends an alternating current through the wire loop, creating a continuous electromagnetic field around it.
- Vehicle Detection: When a vehicle (which contains a significant amount of metal) drives over or within the range of this electromagnetic field, it disrupts the field. This disruption causes a change in the loop's inductance.
- Signal to Gate Operator: The loop detector senses this change in inductance and sends a signal to the gate or barrier's control system.
- Automatic Opening: Upon receiving the signal, the gate operator is triggered to open, allowing the vehicle to exit without requiring a remote control, keypad, or manual intervention.

Pressure Sensors:These sensors are typically located along the edge of the gate and detect pressure when the gate comes into contact with an object.
-
Magnetic Sensors:These sensors use a magnetic field to detect the presence of vehicles or objects near the gate.
-
Loop Detectors:These sensors use a wire loop buried in the ground near the gate. When a vehicle or object passes over the loop, it triggers the gate to stop or reverse.
How They Work:
- Detection: The sensor detects the presence of an object or person in the gate's path.
- Signal: The sensor sends a signal to the gate operator.
- Action: The gate operator responds by stopping, reversing, or remaining open, depending on the sensor type and programmed settings.
Importance of Safety Sensors:
- Prevent Accidents: They protect people and vehicles from being hit by the gate.
- Prevent Damage: They help avoid damage to the gate, vehicles, or property.
- Ensure Reliable Operation: They contribute to the smooth and safe operation of the gate.

Car back-up camera
Ship or pick up from our office.
Car back-up camera
A car back-up camera, also widely known as a rearview camera or reversing camera, is a specialized video camera mounted on the rear of a vehicle. Its primary function is to provide the driver with a visual feed of the area directly behind the car when the vehicle is in reverse. This significantly enhances safety and convenience, especially when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces. How it Works:- Camera Placement: The camera is typically small and discreetly mounted on the rear of the vehicle. Common locations include near the license plate, integrated into the trunk handle, or within the rear bumper.
- Activation: When the driver shifts the vehicle into REVERSE gear, the back-up camera automatically activates.
- Video Feed: The camera captures a wide-angle video image of the area behind the car.
- Display: This live video feed is then displayed on a screen inside the vehicle. This screen can be:
- An integrated display in the dashboard (common in newer vehicles).
- A dedicated monitor that mounts on the dashboard.
- A replacement rearview mirror with an integrated screen.
- An aftermarket car stereo head unit with a video input.
- Deactivation: When the driver shifts out of reverse, the camera typically turns off.
- Enhanced Safety: This is the most crucial benefit. Back-up cameras dramatically reduce blind spots behind the vehicle, helping drivers avoid collisions with:
- Pedestrians: Especially children and pets who may not be visible in rearview mirrors.
- Obstacles: Such as bollards, low walls, fire hydrants, or other vehicles.
- Improved Parking: Makes parallel parking and backing into parking spots much easier and more precise.
- Parking Guidelines: Many systems overlay dynamic (move with steering wheel input) or static lines on the screen to help the driver estimate distance and trajectory.
- Night Vision/Low-Light Capability: Many cameras are equipped with enhanced low-light sensors or infrared (IR) LEDs to provide a clear image even in dark conditions.
- Wide Viewing Angle: Essential for comprehensive coverage, typically offering 120 to 170 degrees of view to minimize blind spots.
- Weather Resistance: Since they are mounted externally, backup cameras are designed to be waterproof and dustproof (often with an IP67 rating or higher).
- Integration with Other Systems: Some advanced systems integrate with parking sensors (audible warnings) and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (warns of approaching vehicles from the sides when backing out of a spot).
- Wired vs. Wireless:
- Wired cameras: Offer a more reliable connection and typically higher video quality, but require running cables through the vehicle.
- Wireless cameras: Easier to install as they transmit the video feed wirelessly, but can sometimes be susceptible to interference or have lower resolution.
