3. WHAT HAPPENS IN A POWER OUTAGE?

In the event of a power outage, the gates are equipped with their own battery, allowing them to operate for up to 400 openings. If the battery is depleted, the gates will automatically move to the open position. Once power is restored, they will return to their previous operational state.

There will be four ways to gain access through the gate system once it’s activated:

​​

5b - FOB Access: You can use your assigned FOB to gain entry.

5c - Pin Code: Each user will have an assigned PIN code, which can be used as a backup if you forget your FOB or need to provide access to a guest.

​

5d - Video Intercom System: A video system will connect to the front desk during office hours or the HHPOA board (if online), allowing communication and remote gate access.
