Residential Telephone Entry & Access Control Systems

Residential Telephone Entry Systems are typically designed to control access to a driveway gate with the possibility of controlling a pedestrian gate or secondary access point as well. Most units are for use with individual homes, but some feature the ability to dial multiple phone numbers so they can be suitable for small communities. The older style of unit uses the existing phone line of a single residence to cause the phones within that home to ring, the end user can then communicate through the phone and provide access with the push of a button. You may also pick a unit that requires a separate phone line and will allow you to dial different numbers off of a directory, this is good for small communities that may want to split the cost of the phone service. The newer style of units will be hooked up using cellular service, an ethernet cable, or wifi. The cellular units are convenient because you don't need to run phone line or worry about the range of wifi, the downside is that you will have to pay monthly for the service. Wifi and ethernet units use the internet to make the phone call, so there is no monthly bill, but you do need to run an ethernet cable or be within range of wifi for the system to work.
