Communities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. When a Resident&#8217;s Vehicle comes near the Boom Barrier, the Barrier should automatically open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. The Vehicle entry should automatically get logged, Resident should get update on his ADDA app that his Vehicle just entered the complex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. The Building Administration \/ Association should be able to remotely add a new Owner \/ Tenant&#8217;s Vehicle to this system. Or remotely deactivate an outgoing Owner \/ Tenant&#8217;s vehicle from this System. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Visitor Vehicle should be stopped and the Visitor will be mandated to make entry in the VMS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Any impostor should not be able to get in easily through this Automatic System <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. The Accuracy of the Automatic System in identifying the Resident&#8217;s vehicle should be high so that the Guard can be eliminated from the task of opening or closing the boom barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AVAILABLE_SOLUTIONS\"><\/span><strong>AVAILABLE SOLUTIONS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PS: All these Solutions are Integrated with <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.threefiveeight.adda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ADDA<\/a> &#8211; Your Apartment Super App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_RFID_Vehicle_Tag_Long_Range_RFID_Reader\"><\/span><strong>The RFID Vehicle Tag&nbsp;+ Long Range RFID Reader<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the Vehicle<\/strong>\nAn RFID Tag (similar to Fastag) is provided by the Association \/ Society which is fixed on the Vehicle Windscreen.\n(If you are ADDA User, you can order this RFID tag right from your ADDA app. No hassles to meet the building manager or fill forms!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At the Barrier\n<\/strong>Long range RFID Reader is set up on a poll, with sufficient clearance for foolproof reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" src=\"http:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/RFID-Reader-1-300x285.jpg\" alt=\"RFID Reader for Automated Apartments Gate\" class=\"wp-image-10827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/RFID-Reader-1-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/RFID-Reader-1-150x143.jpg 150w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/RFID-Reader-1.jpg 490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Long Range RFID Reader for Automated Vehicle Entry at Apartments Gate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Vehicle is in range, the RFID reader reads the RFID tag on the Vehicle Windscreen, and relays the information to Processing Unit\/Controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Processing Unit checks the list of verified tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon finding the particular RFID number on this authorised list, Controller sends information to the Motor of the Barrier to open the Barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Processing Unit also registers time log of the particular vehicle entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS: When you use ADDA integration, the authorised Residents list in the PU is kept updated from the ADDA server.
