The 'Electric gate' scam

[DPG]

Thanks but our system is for convenience not security and I've spent enough already. :-(

Absolutely. I think you've spent far too much already - I would be escalating things with the installer, and also speaking to the manufacturer of the control module.

I remember our gate at the prison was always troublesome.
This was for traffic and was the length of a road width… so sensed traffic going both ways.

Wasn’t for security… it just slowed traffic down enough so that we could read number plates off cctv but missed the prisoners going out.

So was you in the watch tower at the time.

I am wondering if you have a case for complaint against the installer.

They have provided a system that is not suitable for the environment it is installed in.
Keep a good record of all service call outs and what they say they have fixed.
if you have several "reset controller after power cut " then i would be pushing for it not being suitable for future use as it is unable to deal with something that is likely to happen regularly.

Dear James and everyone else,
Having today had a truthful account of my efforts to find a DIY solution to my problem censored by a robot I have decided to withdraw from this thread as I'm 82 in a few days and can do without Big Brothers everywhere these days. My solution to the problem is to remove the striker plate and fit a £5 manual hook and ring leaving us with a powered swinging gate that can be latched when required and two fingers to the industry and robotic censors.
Goodbye and thank you all for your advice.
Last words! :- it seems the robotic censor has been over-ruled and my reply re-instated!

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Maybe you could suggest how I can spell it out to you? Here is another try. My reply to DPG's post with a link to the ThaliaP user manual appeared for most of today with a robotic note saying that only I could see it because it was under 'moderation' or words to that effect. The email was not immoderate nor anti-wokish imho which is why, presumably, it was re-instated this evening.
Hopefully, you now have a better idea what I'm talking about?

You are blowing things wildly out of proportion! A link was not shown on the forum for some reason that's all. If you want to give up on things just because of that then that's up to you, but it's a bad case of throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Having said that, I hope you can get it sorted. I don't like to see people being ripped off.

Never suggested they had been edited and still wondering wth I said that sucked in moderation in the first place. Please enlighten me?
