Finished an install where a client added a wall/gate out front of their house. They wanted to be able buzz people in to the yard, have a way to open the new rolling gate, and also keep an eye on what was happening out on the street. Doorbird has very sleek door stations that offer these exact features.

We had some idea that the gate/wall was going to be built so we had the fore thought to run some wires as well as conduit, the ultimate in future proof, to the most accessible location in the front of the house. A few meetings with the gate/wall contractor, we were all on the same page and they agreed to get out conduit out to the new wall location since they were going to be excavating some of the yard anyways.

After construction of the wall and welding of the gate was complete, we arrived and executed our plan. We ran Cat6 out to the outer edges of the yard for two IP cameras as well as Cat6 and control wires to the man gate and new rolling gate operator. After some custom bending of conduit, all necessary wires were in place. Install of the door station looked very clean and thoughtful once installed. We added the two IP cameras as well as the stream from the Doorbird station the NVR.

The client is now able to remotely answer on their phone and open either gate whether that be a service worker or an expected packaged delivery. With three cameras across the front gate, all activity is now reviewable if necessary.
