If they want to block all cloned cards they would have to change all the readers to a new format (probably get rid of HID) and then change probably 100,000(??)+ existing cards figuring 2 cards for every home. I can say, the new reader devices (most READER DEVICES have NOT (yet?) been replaced, only the database software) are much much more sensitive than existing old ones which may eventually lead to a "legit" card or sticker affixed somewhere to your car.

All that being said, why even bother with gate cards. Automatic gates in both directions would do the identical job. Cameras can still read the plates. I wonder how many times a card code has been used for anything when a license plate is more accurate.

You can tell the new READERS (hardware) because they aren't all beat up and faded from the sun. One new READER (hardware) you can test is at the southern O'DELL circle entry gate off Morse closest to 466A. The gate at O'Dell Mallory is still old. The new one reads my mirror card from like 2-3 feet away where the older ones need you to get very much closer (like max about 1 foot.

I'm in the Lake Denham area and I have had no luck with any reader working without opening my window and getting real close. I drive up as close as possible but still have to open my window.

The gates are useless. May every gate arm break and never be fixed. I don't like them.

None of this is about safety and security. It’s all about the data, statistics and tracking activity. Construction mode.....correct!

I managed these gate cards in my 55+ community up north. We ran out of numbers as well and needed to convert to a newer system as a result. No big thing

Do you have a link to the survey results, showing that most view the gates as unnecessary? I am interested to read how the questions were written. I assume you did not just make that info up.

Thanks!
