JM... You only see golf carts in the video because there is no way to identify the driver/owner.

If a car busts through the gate, the camera will catch the license plate and CW will follow up. It would be interesting to know what percent of gate crushers are cars vs golf carts.

Your second point is valid....honest perps might not know who to call even though they could hit the button on the pedestal to talk to CW. Maybe a sticker on the gate arm or control mechanism that gives a phone number to call for damage or malfunction.
