Don’t believe me? Try going through the visitors side and swiping a totally random RFID keycard on the pad. It will beep and the gate will open right up. I discovered this when visiting and using my key fob for my garage door up north. I had my keys in my hand as I went to push the button, and the sensor beeped and opened. Great security. If you think about, there’s really no need for the gates at all then: just have cameras everywhere.
You have the function of the gates wrong they are not for security but to give golf carts a safer way to cross the street. When the gate is down safe for the carts to cross.
