Odd that many others haven't mentioned replacing window motors. You aren't the only one rolling your window down, I know I do it all the time and most of the cars in front of me do also. With 70,000+ homes and all the traffic and all the gates and all the people going through those gates you would expect hundreds of motors to need replacing every year.

A system that did not require rolling down a window would be better. This system *might* work through the window (it does for some). Perhaps once this upgrade is completed a mirror device will be investigated but it is sure to come with a cost both to the CDDs/PWAC and to each resident who desires to use it.
