Q: How much does the system cost? A: The software and equipment cost is around $30,000. The District is spending approximately $60,000 on RFID tags which residents may purchase in order to access the Resident gate.
Q: How much does the system cost (continued): A: RFID’s tags can be purchased by residents for $12 per tag, renewable annually (if approved by BOD).
Q: Can RFID tags be stolen and used? A: No. RFID tags are designed to “self destruct” when removed.
Q: What about the residents who don’t use smart phones or computers? A: Residents will continue to be able to “call in” passes to the Gate. According to the 2013 census, 98% of BV residents said they have and use a home computer
Q: Will the new technology provide an alert when a guest enters using a pass that I authorized? A: Yes, you can receive either text or email alert
Q: If email doesn’t work or if computers are down, how will residents authorize passes? A: Residents can call the gate and provide info to Gate staff or use their mobile device.
Q: What happens when there is a power outage? A: The Gate can run on generator power; also, the new system includes battery backup.
Q: Can visitors be authorized only from my home computer? A: No. GateHouse Solutions software features can be accessed via mobile devices or home computers
Q: Do license plate readers make RFID tags redundant? A: Both are important tools. RFID’s are intended for residents and their vehicles. License plate readers may be used in the future at the Visitor Gate to track access and flag those not authorized to enter.
Q: Will the Gate continue to be staffed with CSD personnel? A: Yes, the Gate will continue to be staffed 24/7.
Q: Will there be an overlap in the old technology and the new technology? A: Current vehicle stickers continue to be accepted for entry, but ONLY through the Visitor Gate (current gate). Also, visitor passes can still be “called in” to the Gate.
Q: Will the Resident gate be available to all residents? A: The Resident gate will be accessible to residents who purchase an RFID tag.
Q: Can I place an RFID tag on my motorcycle? A: Yes. The RFID tags are typically placed inside your windshield on your car or motorcycle. However they can be applied to motorcycle forks, headlamp, or windscreen.
Q: Will Amenities Cards still be allowed to gain access into the Valley? A: Temporarily. As we transition into the new technology, this may be phased out.
Q: Are RFID Readers safe? A: Yes. RFID Readers are used in many industries:
