These automated barriers would control the flow of traffic entering and exiting the facility; entry is validated by the integrated access control system whereas exit is freely accessible. This was accomplished by&nbsp;<strong>incorporating induction loops&nbsp;<\/strong>into the floor beneath each boom and utilising the auto closing time feature available on the&nbsp;<strong>built-in CAME ZL39 control board<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plexus Fire and Security opted for the&nbsp;<strong>Always Connected CAME GT4 kits&nbsp;<\/strong>which meant they&nbsp;<strong>received FREE cloud connectivity.&nbsp;<\/strong>The CAME Connect platform allowed the installation team to register the system to the cloud network and complete 90% configuration through the CAME Automation App. Beyond this, for the client\u2019s reassurance Plexus Fire and Security can continue to monitor the automation system and remotely fix any minor issues that may occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>CAME GT4 barrier is built for intensive use purposes&nbsp;<\/strong>and is tested to operate 350 cycles per hour, which is more than adequate for the installation at the Police Station, complementing the projects requirements for a&nbsp;<strong>robust and reliable solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"510\" data-id=\"14175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.came.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GwentBarrierCleanUp_0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"510\" data-id=\"14176\" src=\"https:\/\/www.came.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_0686_0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14176\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RESULTS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>speed of delivery was pivotal&nbsp;<\/strong>in meeting the clients demands for a solution to manage control to the visitors car park.
