A plain comparison of RFID cards and tags, ANPR cameras and keypads for gates and barriers, with where each one fits.

ANPR reads number plates and opens the barrier for registered vehicles, so drivers do not need a tag. Accuracy depends on camera position, lighting and plate condition, so site planning matters.
Keypads suit small sites and visitors but codes can be shared. Phone apps and remotes give flexible control. Many sites combine two methods, such as RFID for residents and a keypad or intercom for guests.
The barrier cabinet is fixed on a concrete plinth with conduit for power and signal cables. The arm length is matched to the lane width, loops and sensors are placed, and the opening and closing speed is tuned for the traffic.
A motor housing lifts and lowers the arm. The controller takes a signal from a remote, card reader, ANPR camera or guard station. Loop detectors or photocells keep the arm up while a vehicle is underneath.
Measure the clear lane width and add a safe allowance. Very wide lanes or low ceilings may call for telescopic or folding arms.
Yes, boom barriers commonly connect to RFID readers, ANPR cameras, tickets or keypads. Compatibility depends on the controller and reader supplied.
Loop detectors under the lane and photocells keep the boom up while a vehicle is present. These devices are part of a proper installation.
The housing is normally fixed to a concrete base with anchor bolts, and conduit is laid for power and signal cables. Your site survey will confirm the details.
