  51. 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
  52. causes.</strong> Automated gates are a convenient and secure solution for
  53. residential estates and complexes. Yet, when a gate closes prematurely and
  54. collides with a vehicle or trailer, the question of liability becomes
  55. contentious. To determine who is responsible, one must first consider the
  56. 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">
  57. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Timer
  58.     Settings Too Short</strong><br />
  59.     Most automated gates are fitted with an auto-close timer. If the timer is
  60.     set too tightly, the gate may close before a vehicle or trailer has fully
  61.     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>
  62. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>No
  63.     Safety Beams Installed</strong><br />
  64.     Without safety beams, the system relies solely on the timer. This means
  65.     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>
  66. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Improperly
  67.     Positioned Beams</strong><o:p></o:p></li>
  68. <ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
  69.  <li class="MsoNormal">Beams
  70.      set too low may only detect wheels, missing higher sections of a vehicle.
  71.      Conversely, beams set too high may completely miss a flatbed trailer or
  72.      one with low sides.<o:p></o:p></li>
  73.  <li class="MsoNormal">Open-frame
  74.      trailers (boat trailers, caravans, utility trailers) often allow the beam
  75.      to pass straight through, giving a false clear reading.<o:p></o:p></li>
  76.  <li class="MsoNormal">The
  77.      natural gap between a vehicle and its trailer can also trick the beam
  78.      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>
  79. </ul>
  80. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Driver
  81.     Negligence</strong><br />
  82.     Sometimes the fault lies with the user. Examples include:<o:p></o:p></li>
  83. <ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
  84.  <li class="MsoNormal">Tailgating
  85.      another vehicle through the gate.<o:p></o:p></li>
  86.  <li class="MsoNormal">Ignoring
  87.      posted warnings or signage.<o:p></o:p></li>
  88.  <li class="MsoNormal">Stopping
  89.      too close to the gate, within its swing or sliding path.<o:p></o:p></li>
  90.  <li class="MsoNormal">Stopping
  91.      directly in the pathway of the gate.<o:p></o:p></li>

  94. and prescribed management rules, trustees and managing agents have a legal duty
  95. to ensure that common property remains safe and properly maintained. Liability
  96. typically falls on the HOA or body corporate when:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
  97. <li class="MsoNormal">The
  98.     gate system is defective or poorly maintained.<o:p></o:p></li>
  99. <li class="MsoNormal">Safety
  100.     beams are missing or incorrectly installed. <em>Note: there is no legal
  101.     requirement mandating safety beams, and it may not always be possible to
  102.     set them at a height that caters for every scenario.</em><o:p></o:p></li>
  103. <li class="MsoNormal">Timers
  104.     are not set to allow adequate clearance. <em>Generally, timers are set for
  105.     passenger vehicles, not for longer vehicles such as trucks and trailers.</em><o:p></o:p></li>
  106. <li class="MsoNormal">No
  107.     warnings or signage are displayed to alert residents and visitors of
  108.     potential risks.<o:p></o:p></li>
  109. </ul><p class="MsoNormal">In such cases, residents may argue that the scheme failed to
  110. 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">
  111. <li class="MsoNormal">They
  112.     ignore signage and proceed carelessly.<o:p></o:p></li>
  113. <li class="MsoNormal">They
  114.     tailgate another vehicle to avoid waiting for the gate cycle.<o:p></o:p></li>
  115. <li class="MsoNormal">They
  116.     park or stop too close to the gate, leaving no margin for safe movement.<o:p></o:p></li>
  117. <li class="MsoNormal">They
  118.     stop in the direct pathway of the gate.<o:p></o:p></li>
  119. <li class="MsoNormal">Their
  120.     negligence results in damage to the gate itself.<o:p></o:p></li>
  121. </ul><p class="MsoNormal">In these instances, the HOA or body corporate could
  122. justifiably claim repair costs from the driver, since the damage stems from
  123. 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
  124. combination of <strong>technology, signage, and awareness</strong>:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
  125. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Install
  126.     dual-height or staggered beams</strong> to detect both vehicles and trailers. <em>Note:
  127.     this is not a 100% guarantee, as trailers vary in shape and size.</em><o:p></o:p></li>
  128. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Schedule
  129.     regular maintenance</strong> to ensure timers, motors, and safety devices
  130.     remain in proper working condition.<o:p></o:p></li>
  131. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Place

  133. <ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
  134.  <li class="MsoNormal">Warnings
  135.      about premature closing risks.<o:p></o:p></li>
  136.  <li class="MsoNormal">Instructions
  137.      not to stop within half a meter of the gate.<o:p></o:p></li>
  138.  <li class="MsoNormal">Guidance
  139.      on precautionary measures when towing trailers or driving
  140.      longer-than-normal vehicles (such as trucks). In these cases, a practical
  141.      solution is to have someone block the safety beam during passage or to
  142.      place the gate in manual mode until the vehicle has cleared.<o:p></o:p></li>
  143. </ul>
  144. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Educate
  145.     residents</strong> through notices and newsletters on safe gate use,
  146.     particularly when towing trailers or caravans.<o:p></o:p></li>
  147. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Enforce
  148.     rules</strong> against repeat offenders who ignore signage and cause damage.<o:p></o:p></li>
  149. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Install
  150.     CCTV cameras</strong>, not only as a security measure but also as a valuable
  151.     safety tool for reviewing incidents and confirming liability in
  152.     gate-related accidents.<o:p></o:p></li>
  153. </ul><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u>Conclusion</u><o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Attributing blame in gate-related incidents depends on the
  154. facts. <strong>If the system is defective, liability rests with the HOA or body
  155. corporate. If a driver ignores warnings or acts negligently, they may be held
  156. responsible.</strong><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Ultimately, these incidents are preventable. With the right
  157. combination of <strong>proper gate configuration, visible signage, and responsible
  158. driving</strong>, HOAs and body corporates can protect both residents and their
  159. assets — while reducing costly disputes.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em>About Us<o:p></o:p></em></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em>At Prestige Access &amp; Security Solutions, we

  472. detected.<br />
  473. <br />
  474. Improve Staff Safety: A CCTV system can improve staff safety by providing a
  475. visual record of any incidents that occur on the premises. This footage can be
  476. used to identify potential safety hazards and implement measures to prevent
  477. them from happening in the future.<br />
  478. <br />
  479. Improve Customer Safety: A CCTV system can also improve customer safety by

  565. <br />
  566. In recent years, load shedding has become a common occurrence in many parts of
  567. the world. Power outages can leave your home vulnerable, especially if you rely
  568. on an alarm system to keep your property safe. To avoid being caught off guard,
  569. many homeowners have considered increasing the battery size or changing to
  570. lithium batteries for their alarm panels. However, this is not a decision to be
  571. taken lightly.<br />
  572. <br />
  573. Increasing the size of your alarm panel's battery or changing to lithium
  574. batteries can be a risky move if not done by a professional who understands
  575. charge rates, battery chemistry, and charge time factors. The wrong battery or
  576. improper installation can cause serious damage to your alarm system, which may
  577. be costly to repair.<br />
  578. <br />
  579. The first factor to consider when increasing the battery size is the charge
  580. rate. An alarm panel's battery is designed to be charged at a specific rate,
  581. and if you increase the battery size, you may not be able to charge it
  582. properly. This can cause the battery to overheat, which can damage the battery
  583. and the alarm panel.<br />
  584. <br />
  585. The second factor to consider is battery chemistry. Lithium batteries are more
  586. powerful than traditional batteries and have a higher energy density. However,
  587. they require a specific charging process that is different from other types of
  588. batteries. If you don't understand the chemistry of lithium batteries, you
  589. could damage the battery or the alarm panel.<br />
  590. <br />
  591. The third factor to consider is charge time. If you increase the battery size
  592. or switch to a lithium battery, the charge time may also increase. If you don't
  593. account for this extra charge time, you may not have enough power to sustain
  594. your alarm system during a power outage.<br />
  595. <br />
  596. That's why it's crucial to have a professional install your alarm panel's
  597. battery. Our techinicians understand the charge rates, battery chemistry, and
  598. charge time factors that are necessary to ensure your alarm system is protected
  599. during a power outage.<br />
  600. <br />
  601. At Prestige Security Solutions, we have designed an effective solution to deal
  602. with electricity load shedding. Our system can be customized to suit your
  603. needs, from sustaining your alarm system for a few hours to days. Our team of
  604. professionals understands the intricacies of alarm panel batteries and can help
  605. you choose the right battery for your system.<br />
  606. <br />
  607. In conclusion, increasing the battery size or changing to lithium batteries for
  608. your alarm panel can be a risky move if not done by a professional who
  609. understands charge rates, battery chemistry, and charge time factors. At
  610. Prestige Security Solutions, we are here to help you navigate this process and
  611. 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;;

  681. mso-fareast-language:EN-ZA">As a technician for Prestige Security Solutions,
  682. one of the questions we often get asked is whether a lithium battery can be
  683. used in an alarm panel. The answer is that it depends on the alarm panel's
  684. built-in charger. While some panels are compatible with lithium batteries, many
  685. are not, and using a lithium battery in an incompatible panel can lead to
  686. damage and potentially even a fire hazard.<br />
  687. <br />
  688. Most alarm panels use trickle charging to charge batteries, which involves
  689. providing a small amount of current continuously to keep the battery topped up.
  690. However, this method is not always suitable for charging lithium batteries,
  691. which require a specific charging profile to avoid damage. Lithium batteries
  692. can be damaged by overcharging, which can cause them to swell, leak, or even
  693. catch fire.<br />
  694. <br />
  695. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the alarm panel is compatible with
  696. lithium batteries before installing one. In some cases, it may be possible to
  697. retrofit a compatible charger to an older alarm panel, but this should only be
  698. done by a qualified technician.<br />
  699. <br />
  700. It's essential to note that using a lithium battery in an incompatible alarm
  701. panel can void the warranty on both the battery and the panel. Moreover, it's
  702. essential to use only the recommended battery for your specific alarm panel.
  703. Using an incompatible battery can cause issues like poor battery life or a
  704. malfunctioning system.<br />
  705. <br />
  706. In conclusion, if you're considering installing a lithium battery in your alarm
  707. panel, it's important to do your research and ensure that your panel is
  708. compatible. If you're not sure, it's best to consult with a qualified
  709. technician like those at Prestige Security Solutions, who can advise you on the
  710. best course of action and install and maintain your system to ensure it
  711. 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.
