My mate had these fitted on his drive and some wannabe gangsters tried to steal his car by driving onto his driveway and when they tried to drive away the bollards stopped them. They were caught literally with their pants down running down the road minus one car. The funniest CCTV I've watched in a long time. The police and the courts found it very amusing too. 🤣👍

The main thing to understand is that virtually any security system can be defeated given the willpower and the time. So the point of a security system is not necessarily to defeat the criminal it's just to put them off. Yeah, you can get past these bollards but why bother when the house next door is an easier and quicker challenge.

[@1972dsrai]

Most car thieves are looking for quick in and out and this might be enough to put most off. Having a decent steering lock on your car might be cheaper alternative.

[@TheGalacticWest]

All of the above plus if you go this far for a gate thieves might start wondering what else you’ve done to protect your stuff. It’s a psychological game.

[@lucifersapphire8412]

[@AbdulMannan-yq7xy]

The space on both the sides maked it look like a divider instead of bollard

[@703simpson]

What everyone has failed to realize about this and almost all other non-keyed entry/exit devices is the presence of the ground loop. This loop detects metal. A wire running to the controller is monitored for changes. You can see this loop being installed a few feet inside the driveway. Funny part is the only thing one needs to defeat such an exit loop is a metal no-parking sign, throw it low to slide it across the known loop without setting one foot on the property. Bollard, retract. Same thing works on most non-keyed security gates. If your gate or bollard relies only on the presence of a vehicle to open it... a decent pieces of sheet steel or aluminum will defeat it in 2 seconds. Always add a keypad to exit, AND add the ground loop so that a vehicle must be present with a proper keypad entry to activate the gate or bollard. Now, without knowing the details on this install, it MIGHT be possible to shutdown that loop detection. All that said, it’s a badass bollard install. Please tell me that loop is a proximity safety... but it’s way too far really for that purpose. Potentially a wireless receiver/transmitter... which is essentially taking the place of a keypad.

[@TheHoipoloi]

The loop is simply to prevent the bollard from raising when a vehicle is over it, nothing to do with granting permission for lowering bollard.

[@703simpson]

@@TheHoipoloi so this thing is controlled by maybe a remote rf key fob, with a hardwired switch inside the house? I like it. Nice install. In the US, the egress loops are often installed in this fashion. I have seen all flavors, though. Keypad with egress loop, which is problematic for foot traffic with a gate setup. Mainly commercial installs in that scenario. Folks can and do get trapped inside if they do not have a vehicle. Building codes may also require a non-keypad egress loop. They are inherently insecure. I want one of these bollards. :)

[@driveguard1]

Tim, you make some valid points, although in this case, the loop has been installed for safety, ie, to stop the bollard from rising accidentally if someone was to press the remote control by accident when someone is driving in or out of the driveway. It has NOT been installed as a free exit loop which you describe, so no, the bollard will not drop if you place a metal sheet over the loop. There was also no reason to install a keypad because the customer didn't need one or want one, they wanted to just use a simple handheld remote control to bring them up and down when they want. Just thought I would clear this up:)

[@marcelstanford430]

As a first generation Canadian of English parents I've never understood the U.K. fascination with front garden fences and driveway gates. These bollards of course eliminate the need for 2 gates. Picture this...you arrive home from work, park on the street get out and open the gate. Get back in car and park in driveway. Get out and close gate. Do the same in reverse order to go to work in the morning. Madness I tell you.

[@mctigger1]

Or get an electric gate that you can open from inside the car via an opener. Why would you put a gate on a house without an electric opener?

[@onlineo2263]

@@mctigger1 if the car has the openener in then it defeats the purpose. You want to stop someone taking a vehicle from your drive. Deterrent first, but if the bollard or gate auto opens on approach then you don't solve the issue.

[@driveguard1]

To ensure the vehicles on your driveway are protected, you need to plan for a 1.3 to 1.5 mtr drive through gap between each bollard, boundary wall or fence post - the camera angle may skew your perspective but we can assure you that the space is not big enough for a car to fit between. Thank you watching! :)

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Never saw these before. So, I’m trying to figure out if they’re trying to keep vehicles “out” or trying to keep vehicles “in” (prevent from stealing) ?

[@ZacharyMusicSpree]

I'm curious, if this is to prevent people for stealing cars (most likely by using signal boosters), then couldn't they also catch the signal for the bollard and exploit that too?

[@redeye118]

The fob for the bollards don't give out a constant signal you can pick up like a keyless car, You would have to be there when someone presses the fob to pick up the signal and the fobs still have over a million rolling codes

[@driveguard1]

Gene, they are used for preventing the theft of vehicles or to stop other cars from using your driveway as a turning circle, they offer protection from both scenarios. Here in the UK, it is a massive problem. Some people like the manul lift telescopic type which you will see in car dealerships, and some people want the more convenient remote control type, so they go for the automatic bollards.

Hi Kevin, drainage is one of the most important aspects of any automatic bollard installation, and should be undertaken with consideration for the individual sites ground conditions. We don't go into too much detail on the video because it would take too long to explain all of the options.
