Smart Gate Automation & Access Control in Pretoria

Your driveway is your property’s most vulnerable point. We provide high-speed, intelligent automation designed to minimize hijacking risks and eliminate gate-motor theft.

High-Speed Smart Automation (Centurion Systems)

We exclusively install the Centurion SMART range to ensure your entrance is as fast as it is secure.

Speed as Security: Motors like the D10 SMART move at up to 36m/min, drastically reducing the time you spend idling in your driveway.

Smartphone Integration: Manage your gate via the Accentronix app. Receive instant alerts if the gate is left open or if the onboard vibration sensor detects tampering.

Theft-Resistant Design: We complement every motor with a custom-fitted, heavy-duty theft-resistant cage and anti-lift brackets to prevent “gate-lifting” burglaries.

Frictionless Access Control

Move beyond traditional remotes that can be lost or cloned.

LPR (License Plate Recognition) : AI-driven cameras identify your vehicle and open the gate automatically—no stopping, no remotes, no “tailgating” opportunities.

Biometrics & QR Access:For estates and complexes, we offer fingerprint/facial access and time-limited QR codes for visitors.

GSM Global Access:Open your gate from anywhere in the world viaAccentronix App, perfect for managing deliveries when you aren’t home.

Power Autonomy (Load Shedding Proof)

A security gate that doesn’t open during a power cut is a safety hazard.

High-Cycle Backups: Our 24V systems are fitted with high-capacity batteries providing up to 150+ operations during outages.

Solar-Ready Kits: For remote sites or eco-estates, we provide fully solar-integrated motor kits that run 100% independent of the Eskom grid

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an anti-lift bracket?

It is a mechanical steel guard that prevents an intruder from physically lifting your gate off its track to bypass the motor. It is a mandatory addition for any high-security setup in Gauteng.

Can I stop people from "tailgating" my car into my property?

Yes. We program “Beam Auto close.” The second your car clears the safety beams, the gate triggers to close immediately, leaving no gap for a following vehicle.

What happens if my gate motor is stolen?

If we have installed a Sensor linked to your house alarm, the siren will trigger the moment they start meddling with the motor cage, usually scaring them off before they can steal the motor.

What is the difference between a "Standard" and a "Smart" motor?

Smart motors have built-in logging, battery health diagnostics, and encrypted smartphone control. They are significantly harder to “hack” than older-generation motors.

How do I give access to a garden service or domestic worker?

We recommend a Accentronix GSM Module. You can program their number to have access only on specific days or times. If they leave your employ, you simply delete their number from the app instantly.
