LVT (LiveView Technologies, Inc.), the pioneer of rapidly deployable security solutions, today unveiled GuardGate, an advanced portable barrier solution that regulates access to restricted commercial areas.
GuardGate augments guards at distribution centres, drop lots, storage yards, and any location to deter bad actors, address liability and compliance requirements, and provide objective evidence to accelerate investigations. GuardGate is a drop-and-go solution that allows customers to:
- Deploy in hours, not months.
- Perform remote visual validation via video and audio using the included intercom, and remote arm opening and closing.
- Schedule the gate to open and close automatically.
- Access a complete log of every opening and closing.
Reducing investigation times
“LVT’s solutions provide full coverage of diverse environments with capabilities proven to deter crime,” said Matt Kelley, SVP of Business and Market Development at LVT.
“GuardGate extends these capabilities to not only stop unauthorised vehicles but to streamline site logistics, allowing LVT to extend beyond safety and security. By providing clear visibility at checkpoints, teams can understand traffic patterns and significantly reduce investigation times, transforming security data into actionable operational insights.”
Dedicated security infrastructure
North American cargo theft totalled an estimated $725 million in 2025. Organisations commonly rely on security guards to monitor key checkpoints; however, 24/7 human coverage can cost over $100,000 annually for a single unarmed, unspecialised guard and over $400,000 for a single armed, specialised guard. These costs are in addition to the construction cost for a guard shack and the necessary power and sanitation infrastructure, which could leave sites exposed for months during construction.
“Organisations no longer have to sacrifice personnel safety and cargo security to preserve operational cost efficiency. Diverse, remote sites that previously could not justify a dedicated security infrastructure can now employ advanced deterrence and video recording capabilities at a fraction of the cost,” said Steve Lindsey, LVT co-founder and chief strategist.
Customisable surveillance cameras
During beta testing, a retail customer reduced its guard spend by over 30% at busier distribution facilities while virtually eliminating theft at smaller delivery locations using GuardGate. The solution provides a reliable physical deterrent coupled with customisable surveillance cameras and powerful agentic AI that prevents unauthorised access, alerts security personnel, and automatically begins compiling records for a swift investigation. The solution also supports insurance compliance needs that may require a controlled access point or physical presence at storage locations.
This news follows a string of recent milestones for LVT, including the launch of LPR powered by Insight, a strategic shift toward Intelligent Site Management, and LVT’s top ranking as the Innovative Leader in the 2025 Frost Radar™ for Mobile Surveillance.
