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.

These sensors can be photoelectric, pressure sensors, magnetic sensors, or loop detectors and are crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring smooth gate operation.
Types of Gate Opener Safety Sensors:
-
Photoelectric Sensors:These sensors use an infrared beam to detect objects. When the beam is broken by an object, the gate opener is signaled to stop or reverse.
-
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.
Exit Loop Detector

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.

Remote starter immobilizer bypass module
Ship or pick up from our office.
Remote starter immobilizer bypass module
A remote starter immobilizer bypass module is an essential component when installing an aftermarket remote car starter in most modern vehicles. Its sole purpose is to "trick" the vehicle's factory immobilizer system into believing that the correct key is present in the ignition, allowing the engine to start remotely. Here's a breakdown of what that means: What is a remote starter immobilizer bypass module system? Since around the late 1990s, and mandated for all new cars sold in Canada since the year 2000, virtually every vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer system as an anti-theft measure. This system prevents the engine from starting unless it detects a specific, valid code.- How it works:
- Your car key (or smart key fob) contains a small electronic chip called a transponder. This chip stores a unique electronic code.
- When you insert the key into the ignition (or, with push-button start, have the fob within range), the vehicle's onboard computer (often via an antenna coil around the ignition barrel) reads the code from the transponder.
- If the code matches what's stored in the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit), the remote starter immobilizer bypass module is deactivated, and the engine is allowed to start and run.
- If the code doesn't match, or if no valid code is detected (e.g., someone tries to hot-wire the car, or uses an unprogrammed key), the immobilizer will prevent the engine from starting, or it will start for a few seconds and then immediately shut off. It typically disables vital functions like the fuel pump or ignition system.

Sliding gate operators limit sensor -Spring
Ship or pick up from our office.
Sliding gate operator limit sensor -Spring
A sliding gate operator limit sensor with a spring mechanism (also known as a mechanical limit switch or spring limit switch) is a common type of sensor used in automatic sliding gate systems to define the gate's fully open and fully closed positions. Here's how it works and what its characteristics are: Purpose of a Limit Sensor: For any automatic gate operator, the system needs to know exactly when the gate has reached its desired open and closed positions. This is crucial for:- Stopping the Motor: Preventing the motor from continuing to run once the gate has reached its limit, which would otherwise cause damage to the gate, the motor, or the track.
- Safety: Ensuring the gate stops precisely where it should, preventing it from hitting obstacles or over-extending.
- Proper Operation: Allowing for features like auto-closing, pedestrian mode, and proper synchronization if it's a dual-gate system.
- Components: A spring limit switch typically consists of:
- A microswitch (an electrical switch that requires very little force to operate).
- A spring-loaded lever, arm, or plunger connected to the microswitch.
- A mounting bracket to attach it to the gate operator or gate frame.
- Mounting: The spring limit switch is usually positioned on the gate operator itself, or on a bracket near the motor.
- Interaction with the Gate:
- On the sliding gate itself, usually along the gear rack or a specific part of the gate frame, two small "stop" tabs or flags are installed – one for the open limit and one for the close limit.
- As the gate moves towards its fully open or fully closed position, one of these tabs/flags will physically contact and push against the spring-loaded lever/plunger of the limit switch.
- This physical contact compresses the spring and activates the microswitch.
- Signal to Control Board: When the microswitch is activated, it sends an electrical signal to the gate operator's main control board.
- Motor Stop: Upon receiving this signal, the control board immediately cuts power to the motor, stopping the gate precisely at that determined limit.
- Physical Contact: The defining feature is that it relies on direct physical contact and force to activate the switch.
- Reliability: Generally reliable as they are a simple mechanical system.
- Durability: Made to withstand repeated physical contact. However, over time, the spring can wear out, lose tension, or the switch itself can be damaged by repeated impacts or debris.
- Adjustability: The position of the "stop" tabs on the gate can be adjusted to fine-tune the exact open and closed positions of the gate.
- Maintenance: May require periodic checks to ensure the spring is intact, the switch is clean, and the "stop" tabs are securely in place and correctly positioned. They can be susceptible to damage from impacts (e.g., if a child's toy or a pet gets in the way of the stop tab).
- Compared to Magnetic Limit Switches:
- Magnetic Limit Switches: These are more common in newer and higher-end gate operators (like many BFT Deimos "Ultra" models). They use magnets attached to the gate and magnetic sensors (reed switches or Hall effect sensors) on the operator. They offer a "contactless" operation, which generally leads to less wear and tear, greater precision, and less susceptibility to environmental debris or physical impact damage.
- Spring/Mechanical Limit Switches: Are typically more cost-effective and simpler in design. They are still widely used, especially in more budget-friendly or older gate operator models.

Key selector
A gate opener key selector is a device that allows you to manually open and close an automatic gate using a physical key, providing an alternative access method in case of power outages or remote control malfunctions. It essentially disengages the automated system, allowing for manual operation of the gate. A gate opener key selector is a device used to control the operation of an automated gate (or door, garage door, barrier, etc.) using a physical key. It's essentially a key-operated switch that allows authorized users to open, close, or set the operating mode of the gate. Here's a breakdown of its function and characteristics:- Purpose: The primary purpose of a key selector is to provide a secure and convenient way to operate an automatic gate, especially in situations where remote controls, keypads, or other access methods might not be practical or desired (e.g., for maintenance personnel, or as a backup).
- Mechanism: It typically consists of a sturdy, often metal, housing that is mounted on a wall, column, or recessed into a wall. Inside, there's a key cylinder that, when turned, activates a microswitch or set of contacts. These contacts then send a signal to the gate opener's control unit, telling it to perform a specific action (open, close, or a specific operating mode).
- Security: Key selectors are designed to be robust and weather-resistant, often with vandal-proof features. The use of a physical key adds a layer of security, as only individuals with the correct key can operate the gate.
- Types and Features:
- Key-operated switches: The most common type, where inserting and turning a key triggers the gate's action.
- Universal or European cylinder locks: Different types of key cylinders can be used for varying levels of security and compatibility.
- Single or multiple microswitches: Some selectors have one switch for a simple open/close function, while others have multiple switches to allow for more complex operations (e.g., partial opening, full opening, lock, exit only, automatic mode).
- Wall-mounted or flush-mounted: They can be installed on the surface of a wall or column, or recessed for a more discreet look.
- Material: Often made from durable materials like aluminum or die-cast metal to withstand outdoor conditions and potential impact.
- Integration: Key selectors are accessories that integrate with the overall automated gate system, complementing other access control methods like remote controls, keypads, transponder readers, or even smartphone apps.
