When it comes to safeguarding our homes, it is often surveillance cameras or reinforced doors that spring to mind first. But did you know? A new solution called 'automatic bollards' is quietly gaining popularity as a modern security option.
Is it complicated to use? Many people assume that anything 'automatic' must be complicated, but these bollards are actually very simple to operate. With just the press of a button on a remote control, they can be raised or lowered effortlessly. As well as a remote control, automatic rising bollards can be operated via mobile apps, Bluetooth and licence plate recognition, and are so intuitive that even the elderly can master them with ease.
Is it expensive? This is probably everyone's biggest concern. However, when you think long-term, automatic bollards are actually more cost-effective. Traditional fixed posts or iron fences require repainting and repairs every few years and are prone to damage. In contrast, automatic bollards, once installed, can last for many years with minimal maintenance. Even if repairs are needed, UPARK’s automatic rising bollards feature a modular design—only the faulty part needs replacing, which significantly reduces costs over time.
It sounds great, but how do I choose? If you're considering installation, bear these tips in mind: look for manufacturers with a proven track record and ask to see examples of their work; choose brands that are known for their user-friendly operation and reliable after-sales service. If you're interested in automatic bollards, choose UPARK — it won't let you down!
