58. Blame When a Gate Closes Prematurely Causing Damage?<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>In order to attribute blame one needs to understand the
59. causes.</strong> Automated gates are a convenient and secure solution for
60. residential estates and complexes. Yet, when a gate closes prematurely and
61. collides with a vehicle or trailer, the question of liability becomes
62. contentious. To determine who is responsible, one must first consider the
63. possible causes.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u>Common Causes of Gates Closing Prematurely</u><o:p></o:p></strong></p><ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
64. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Timer
65.     Settings Too Short</strong><br />
66.     Most automated gates are fitted with an auto-close timer. If the timer is
67.     set too tightly, the gate may close before a vehicle or trailer has fully
68.     cleared the entrance.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
69. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>No
70.     Safety Beams Installed</strong><br />
71.     Without safety beams, the system relies solely on the timer. This means
72.     the gate may close regardless of whether a vehicle is still in the path.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></li>
73. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Improperly
74.     Positioned Beams</strong><o:p></o:p></li>
75. <ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
76.  <li class="MsoNormal">Beams
77.      set too low may only detect wheels, missing higher sections of a vehicle.
78.      Conversely, beams set too high may completely miss a flatbed trailer or
79.      one with low sides.<o:p></o:p></li>
80.  <li class="MsoNormal">Open-frame
81.      trailers (boat trailers, caravans, utility trailers) often allow the beam
82.      to pass straight through, giving a false clear reading.<o:p></o:p></li>
83.  <li class="MsoNormal">The
84.      natural gap between a vehicle and its trailer can also trick the beam
85.      into “thinking” the passage is clear, triggering premature closure.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></li>
86. </ul>
87. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Driver

91.  <li class="MsoNormal">Tailgating
92.      another vehicle through the gate.<o:p></o:p></li>
93.  <li class="MsoNormal">Ignoring

95.  <li class="MsoNormal">Stopping

101. and prescribed management rules, trustees and managing agents have a legal duty
102. to ensure that common property remains safe and properly maintained. Liability
103. typically falls on the HOA or body corporate when:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">

105.     gate system is defective or poorly maintained.<o:p></o:p></li>

107.     beams are missing or incorrectly installed. <em>Note: there is no legal
108.     requirement mandating safety beams, and it may not always be possible to
109.     set them at a height that caters for every scenario.</em><o:p></o:p></li>
110. <li class="MsoNormal">Timers
111.     are not set to allow adequate clearance. <em>Generally, timers are set for
112.     passenger vehicles, not for longer vehicles such as trucks and trailers.</em><o:p></o:p></li>
113. <li class="MsoNormal">No

116. </ul><p class="MsoNormal">In such cases, residents may argue that the scheme failed to
117. take reasonable precautions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u>When Is the Driver at Fault?</u><o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Drivers may be held responsible if:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
118. <li class="MsoNormal">They

120. <li class="MsoNormal">They

122. <li class="MsoNormal">They

124. <li class="MsoNormal">They
125.     stop in the direct pathway of the gate.<o:p></o:p></li>
126. <li class="MsoNormal">Their
127.     negligence results in damage to the gate itself.<o:p></o:p></li>
128. </ul><p class="MsoNormal">In these instances, the HOA or body corporate could
129. justifiably claim repair costs from the driver, since the damage stems from
130. misconduct rather than system failure.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u>How Can Incidents Be Prevented?</u><o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">The best way to avoid disputes and damage is through a
131. combination of <strong>technology, signage, and awareness</strong>:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
132. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Install
133.     dual-height or staggered beams</strong> to detect both vehicles and trailers. <em>Note:

135. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Schedule
136.     regular maintenance</strong> to ensure timers, motors, and safety devices
137.     remain in proper working condition.<o:p></o:p></li>

145.  <li class="MsoNormal">Guidance
146.      on precautionary measures when towing trailers or driving
147.      longer-than-normal vehicles (such as trucks). In these cases, a practical
148.      solution is to have someone block the safety beam during passage or to
149.      place the gate in manual mode until the vehicle has cleared.<o:p></o:p></li>
150. </ul>
151. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Educate

154. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Enforce

156. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Install
157.     CCTV cameras</strong>, not only as a security measure but also as a valuable

162. corporate. If a driver ignores warnings or acts negligently, they may be held
163. responsible.</strong><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Ultimately, these incidents are preventable. With the right

499. send notifications to your smartphone or computer when suspicious activity is
500. detected.<br />
501. <br />
502. Improve Staff Safety: A CCTV system can improve staff safety by providing a
503. visual record of any incidents that occur on the premises. This footage can be
504. used to identify potential safety hazards and implement measures to prevent
505. them from happening in the future.<br />
506. <br />
507. Improve Customer Safety: A CCTV system can also improve customer safety by

600. <br />
601. In recent years, load shedding has become a common occurrence in many parts of
602. the world. Power outages can leave your home vulnerable, especially if you rely
603. on an alarm system to keep your property safe. To avoid being caught off guard,
604. many homeowners have considered increasing the battery size or changing to
605. lithium batteries for their alarm panels. However, this is not a decision to be
606. taken lightly.<br />
607. <br />
608. Increasing the size of your alarm panel's battery or changing to lithium
609. batteries can be a risky move if not done by a professional who understands
610. charge rates, battery chemistry, and charge time factors. The wrong battery or
611. improper installation can cause serious damage to your alarm system, which may
612. be costly to repair.<br />
613. <br />
614. The first factor to consider when increasing the battery size is the charge
615. rate. An alarm panel's battery is designed to be charged at a specific rate,
616. and if you increase the battery size, you may not be able to charge it
617. properly. This can cause the battery to overheat, which can damage the battery
618. and the alarm panel.<br />
619. <br />
620. The second factor to consider is battery chemistry. Lithium batteries are more
621. powerful than traditional batteries and have a higher energy density. However,
622. they require a specific charging process that is different from other types of
623. batteries. If you don't understand the chemistry of lithium batteries, you
624. could damage the battery or the alarm panel.<br />
625. <br />
626. The third factor to consider is charge time. If you increase the battery size
627. or switch to a lithium battery, the charge time may also increase. If you don't
628. account for this extra charge time, you may not have enough power to sustain
629. your alarm system during a power outage.<br />
630. <br />
631. That's why it's crucial to have a professional install your alarm panel's
632. battery. Our techinicians understand the charge rates, battery chemistry, and
633. charge time factors that are necessary to ensure your alarm system is protected
634. during a power outage.<br />
635. <br />
636. At Prestige Security Solutions, we have designed an effective solution to deal
637. with electricity load shedding. Our system can be customized to suit your
638. needs, from sustaining your alarm system for a few hours to days. Our team of
639. professionals understands the intricacies of alarm panel batteries and can help
640. you choose the right battery for your system.<br />
641. <br />
642. In conclusion, increasing the battery size or changing to lithium batteries for
643. your alarm panel can be a risky move if not done by a professional who
644. understands charge rates, battery chemistry, and charge time factors. At
645. Prestige Security Solutions, we are here to help you navigate this process and
646. ensure that your home remains safe and secure during power outages.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;

730. mso-fareast-language:EN-ZA">As a technician for Prestige Security Solutions,
731. one of the questions we often get asked is whether a lithium battery can be
732. used in an alarm panel. The answer is that it depends on the alarm panel's
733. built-in charger. While some panels are compatible with lithium batteries, many
734. are not, and using a lithium battery in an incompatible panel can lead to
735. damage and potentially even a fire hazard.<br />
736. <br />
737. Most alarm panels use trickle charging to charge batteries, which involves
738. providing a small amount of current continuously to keep the battery topped up.
739. However, this method is not always suitable for charging lithium batteries,
740. which require a specific charging profile to avoid damage. Lithium batteries
741. can be damaged by overcharging, which can cause them to swell, leak, or even
742. catch fire.<br />
743. <br />
744. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the alarm panel is compatible with
745. lithium batteries before installing one. In some cases, it may be possible to
746. retrofit a compatible charger to an older alarm panel, but this should only be
747. done by a qualified technician.<br />
748. <br />
749. It's essential to note that using a lithium battery in an incompatible alarm
750. panel can void the warranty on both the battery and the panel. Moreover, it's
751. essential to use only the recommended battery for your specific alarm panel.
752. Using an incompatible battery can cause issues like poor battery life or a
753. malfunctioning system.<br />
754. <br />
755. In conclusion, if you're considering installing a lithium battery in your alarm
756. panel, it's important to do your research and ensure that your panel is
757. compatible. If you're not sure, it's best to consult with a qualified
758. technician like those at Prestige Security Solutions, who can advise you on the
759. best course of action and install and maintain your system to ensure it
760. operates reliably and safely.<br /><br />

Two of the most common options are motion sensors and door/window sensors. While both types of sensors serve the same general purpose of detecting intruders, they work in different ways and have their own unique advantages and disadvantages.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); --tw-border-spacing-x:0; --tw-border-spacing-y:0; --tw-translate-x:0; --tw-translate-y:0; --tw-rotate:0; --tw-skew-x:0; --tw-skew-y:0; --tw-scale-x:1; --tw-scale-y:1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness:proximity; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow-colored:0 0 transparent; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; margin-top: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; color: rgb(55, 65, 81); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 248);">Motion sensors are designed to detect movement within a certain area of your home. They work by emitting a beam of infrared radiation and measuring how long it takes for the beam to bounce back. If something interrupts the beam, such as a person walking by, the sensor will trigger an alarm. One advantage of motion sensors is that they can cover a larger area than door/window sensors, making them ideal for securing large rooms or areas with multiple entry points. However, they can also be more prone to false alarms, especially if you have pets or other small animals in your home.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); --tw-border-spacing-x:0; --tw-border-spacing-y:0; --tw-translate-x:0; --tw-translate-y:0; --tw-rotate:0; --tw-skew-x:0; --tw-skew-y:0; --tw-scale-x:1; --tw-scale-y:1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness:proximity; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow-colored:0 0 transparent; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; margin-top: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; color: rgb(55, 65, 81); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 248);">Door/window sensors, on the other hand, are designed to detect when a door or window is opened or closed. They typically consist of two parts: one part attaches to the door or window itself, while the other part attaches to the frame. When the door or window is opened, the two parts separate, triggering the sensor. One advantage of door/window sensors is that they are less prone to false alarms than motion sensors. However, they are more limited in their coverage area and may not be as effective at detecting intruders who enter through an unsecured window or other entry point.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); --tw-border-spacing-x:0; --tw-border-spacing-y:0; --tw-translate-x:0; --tw-translate-y:0; --tw-rotate:0; --tw-skew-x:0; --tw-skew-y:0; --tw-scale-x:1; --tw-scale-y:1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness:proximity; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow-colored:0 0 transparent; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; margin-top: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; color: rgb(55, 65, 81); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 248);">Ultimately, the best choice for your home will depend on your specific security needs and the layout of your home.
