Hadn't known of the cameras. Any idea whether any of those photos have proven to be of value in specific cases to date?
Still haven't been here for a full year, yet, so still learning my way around. Was certainly initially intimidated by the "visitor" lane gates. Was reminded recently when exploring a couple of neighborhoods whilst out and about in the wifey's car that it'd be easier to "push the button" *if* I approached closely enough - as she stows her "card" in a less than efficient location - that it says "push for assistance" and seems to have a speaker/microphone sort of setup. No idea whether any of them actually have such a function or anybody to which to speak, even at the manned gates. Such gadgetry induces major social anxiety on this poor boy, but I've now learned to ignore the offer and just press the dern button and watch the gate arm rise - and even suspect that no such technology is even actually attached.
My presumption had come to be that the "manned" gates were for the specific purpose of managing the potential backups that could otherwise occur for golf carts if the "guest" arms were not under some sort of manual "timing" control. Not the case? Would also have presumed that such would've been a major point in the training of the "manners".
