Great ValueI’ve had a gated driveway for 22 years. I originally installed a “Crown Jewel” Telco based access control. Worked well for several years (using the “land line”), until lightening fried the telco system, then I just used it as a keypad control. No big deal, esp. since “land line” has been gone for many years from our residence. I’ve really wanted to upgrade for years, but couldn’t find something that would do what I wanted at a reasonable price. Another lightening strike finished off the keypad function of the Crown Jewel and forced me into remediation mode.I saw this on Amazon, and was skeptical. Since I was in a pinch, I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did! So, here are the “good/bad/ugly” of the system – and it is mostly “good” (if not great):My gate is LONG way from the house through woods. First I have to establish good connection, and our rural location makes cellular access less than ideal (and I don’t want a monthly bill). The rural location means internet is also a challenge, so I’ll give Starlink a plug here too. Several months we got our Starlink dish, and internet service has been phenomenal. So I purchase several wireless bridges, because I have a long distance and many obstacles to navigate. I am successful at getting internet via. daisy chained bridges to the gate, and I install the GBF keypad. It works amazing. Pictures are good quality, the “call” button works as promised, I’m very happy. Put that with the price (and I priced other systems) and I’m ecstatic.Not to say the system is “perfect”. I would gladly pay more for a few upgrades. I did paint the outer enclosure black (see image), and I think it improves the appearance. The old Crown Jewel, while susceptible to lightening, was built like a Sherman tank – but this is more like a Volkswagen Beetle. It would take running over with a car to damage the Crown Jewel, but a baseball bat would destroy the GBF unit. They should offer a more robust enclosure as an upgrade.As mentioned in another review, the “#CODE#” sequence is odd. What is the purpose of the “#’s” on each side of the code?? This would be an easy win for the programmers if they’d make a modification that made the “#’s” unnecessary.Better description than a “bell icon” should indicate the call button. What about “Call”?? I plan to put a label by the keypad that says “#CODE#” for those with codes, so they don’t forget about the #’s, and a label by the bell button that says “Call Button”. Those labels will distract from the clean look of the unit, but are needed to avoid confusion.A ‘night vision’ option is needed on the camera. All you have is a bright LED that will illuminate the caller, IF they lean in when talking. The type of night vision on products like a Ring security camera would be a welcomed enhancement.To finish my review on refocusing on why I give it 5 stars – the unit does everything + more than what the Crown Jewel did – and that unit cost close to $2,000 22 years ago! When setting it up, I had a few questions so I called the technical support number. The person that helped me was FANTASTIC (Thanks Ray!). It is a nice looking unit, and is priced very competitively. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a gate access control.

Best availableThis was the only keypad programmable through wifi that I could find but in all I’m satisfied. Beats driving to the end of my driveway and standing in the snow. I’m using it to control a gate at the edge of property to keep out unwanted guests that think my driveway is a shortcut.Pros:Very fast button press to ring time and message left to notification time.Custom answering message when no response works well.I can confirm it works on active poe/poe+ switch.Controlling two different doors is handy.User interface app is really easy to useCons#+code+# is annoying and confusing for guestsCan only specify one user code and guest codes are randomly generated. I can only specify number of digits. I like to tell ppl their code is their phone number but can’t with this.Subscription for message storage and visitor codes. Not really a complaint as it’s reasonably priced.Bell button is obvious but still confuses old people.Light comes on when I pull up camera so people know I’m home. Wish I could turn that off so I can watch anonymously. But waiting for the message to be left works fine. Then they have no idea if anyone is there.In summary I’m very satisfied bc lack of competition.

Great customer service.Using doorbell as a gate opener. Installation was easy with a few modifications due to the power outlet being 20 feet away.Everything worked except for opening the gate from the keyboard. After dealing for two days with customer service, I noticed that the #8 and #9 keys were transposed. Once I swapped the keys everything worked great.Documentation could be better but customer service was great. They answered every question in a prompt manner.

Build quality was solid, app was simple enough for a non-technical users, and the support was great.This product was used to replace lightning damaged Axis Communications A8004-VE Door Intercom & Linear AK-11 Exterior Digital Keypad. This modestly priced Door Phone exceeded my expectations on all levels. The manual was well written. The build quality was higher than anticipated and when I called support about interfacing the unit with an existing NVR, the phone was answered promptly and my questions were resolved quickly. -Great Product, I would recommend to anyone.
