What are smart bollards?
Smart bollards are automated security posts that rise and lower from the ground to control vehicle access. They use intelligent sensors, motors, and control systems to provide safe, secure, and convenient protection for driveways, entrances, and restricted areas.
Can I operate the bollards remotely when I am away from home, for example, from my workplace?
Yes, absolutely. You can completely control your bollards from anywhere in the world using our dedicated smartphone application. Whether you need to lower them for a visitor while you are at work or secure your property while traveling, you can do it instantly. Our team will fully configure the app and handle all the setup for you during installation.
In an emergency, such as a power cut, can the bollards be lowered so they don't block the driveway?
Yes, they can. In the event of a power outage, the system features a dedicated emergency manual release mechanism (via a secure key or button) provided strictly to the property owner. This allows you to safely override the system and manually lower the bollards, ensuring your driveway remains fully accessible even without electricity.
How do your automatic bollards work?
Our bollards operate using an electric motor system. They can be controlled via mobile app, remote control, or outdoor control panel. Built-in safety sensors detect obstacles and stop movement instantly to prevent accidents.

How many bollards do I need for my driveway, and how is it calculated?
The number of bollards depends on the width of your driveway. They must be spaced closely enough to ensure a vehicle cannot pass between them—typically between 1.5m to 1.8m or 1.9m apart.
However, you don’t need to worry about the measurements! We offer a free site survey to handle this for you. Simply fill out our Site Visit Form, and one of our experts will visit your property the very next day to assess your space and provide an accurate recommendation.
Can I control the bollards from my phone?
Yes. Our smart app allows you to control your bollards remotely, share access with family or staff, set schedules, and manage permissions with ease.
Could you explain the entire process from the initial site visit to the final installation, and how long it takes?
The entire process takes a maximum of one week (5 working days). Once you request a visit, our expert will come to assess your property, recommend the exact number of bollards needed, and thoroughly check the electrical requirements and safety standards. After this assessment, we will schedule the installation day with you. From start to finish, the whole project will be completed within a single week.
Can multiple people use the system?
Yes. You can share access with multiple users through the app or remote controls. This is ideal for families, businesses, or shared driveways.
How long does the security bollard installation process take?
Installation time varies depending on the site conditions, ground type, and number of bollards. Most standard installations can be completed quickly with minimal disruption.
Do you offer free site visits?
Yes. We provide free site visits and consultations. This allows us to assess your property, recommend the best solution, and provide an accurate quote.
Are your bollards customisable?
Yes. Our bollards can be customised with LED lighting, control options, and finishes to suit your property’s design and security requirements.
