StoneCircle TerminalFOR THE GATE

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

StoneCircle Terminal is offline access control for the gate. A resident can create a visitor 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.

VS
Gate Terminal vs Terminal Core — which one does your gate need?

Gate Terminal is the guard-facing kiosk at a staffed gate — verify codes, log walk-ins, raise incidents. Terminal Core is the always-on controller that keeps access decisions local: it verifies offline, drives the barrier, and reconciles to the cloud when connectivity returns. Staffed main gate? Both. Unmanned or secondary entrance? Terminal Core can run it alone.

What does hardware cost?

Every estate's perimeter is different, so hardware is priced after a free site assessment rather than using a flat price. You will receive a written, itemised quote showing Limestone products separately from partner-supplied hardware. Many estates phase implementation across two or three budgets, starting with the gate. Partner-supplied hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty and the installing partner's service SLA, while Limestone owns the integration and operational record.

Spreading the cost: many estates phase installation across budgets or align it with a special levy — we'll structure the quote to match how your estate funds capital projects.

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 FM use. One event, recorded in three places — 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.
