StoneCircle Terminal FOR THE GATE

The gate keeps working.
Even when the internet
does not.

StoneCircle Terminal puts access decisions on site. A resident can create a code without mobile data, the gate can verify it without the cloud, and the passage is saved until the connection returns. Your perimeter stays operational instead of becoming a queue.

No signal at the gate.
No disruption at the gate.

StoneCircle Terminal keeps essential gate access working locally, even when the internet is unavailable. Guards get an immediate approval or denial, barriers and turnstiles continue to respond, and records sync automatically once the connection returns.

    The terminal gives guards a clear approve or deny response, so they do not have to improvise.

  3. 03
    Keep the record intact

    Gate activity is stored safely on site and synced automatically when the connection returns

What does hardware cost?

Every estate's perimeter is different, so we quote after a free site assessment rather than publishing a misleading flat price. Two things are always true: hardware is a one-time capital cost, it never joins your monthly software fee and you'll get a written, itemised quote before any commitment. Many estates phase installation across two or three budgets, starting with the gate.

The integration story

The hardware knows
what the software knows.

Most security firms install hardware and walk away. StoneCircle Terminal wires its hardware into the same operating system your residents and Facility Manager use. One event, recorded in three places which are at the gate, in the resident's app, and in the chairman's dashboard.

If the connection drops, the gate keeps deciding and recording locally. When it returns, Limestone reconciles the saved events into the same source of truth.

From site visit
to live perimeter
in 21 days.

We don't do shipping container hand-offs. Our team handles site assessment, install, commissioning, and the first 60 days of operation including training your security personnel on the kiosk.

01 — DAY 1

Site assessment

Our engineer walks your perimeter with your FM and chairman. Marks placement for cameras, barriers, fence, panels. Estimate within 48 hours.

02 — WEEK 1–2

Build & install

Civil works (if needed), cabling, mounting, configuration. We pre-test everything in the workshop so on-site time is minimal.

03 — WEEK 3

Commission & train

Live commissioning with your Facility Manager. Your guards train on the kiosk. Your chairman gets a walkthrough of the dashboard. Sign-off only when it works.

04 — ONGOING

Operate & maintain

24-month hardware warranty. Quarterly preventive maintenance covers barrier mechanics and motors, camera alignment and storage health, UPS and power checks, and firmware updates. Hardware faults get a response SLA with a named technician your facility manager can call. After the warranty, an optional maintenance retainer continues coverage with priority response.
