LVT (LiveView Technologies, Inc.) has introduced GuardGate, a portable security solution designed to control access to restricted commercial areas.
The system is aimed at supporting security measures at various sites, such as distribution centres and storage yards, to deter unauthorised entry, assist with compliance, and provide evidence for investigations. GuardGate is a quick-deploy solution that enables clients to manage security efficiently.
Streamlining secure access
GuardGate offers several capabilities, including rapid deployment, remote visual validation via integrated video and audio systems, and scheduled gate management. Additionally, it maintains a comprehensive log of every gate operation, facilitating efficient access control. The system is designed to reduce on-site investigation times significantly.
Enhancing security infrastructure
Matt Kelley, LVT's SVP of Business and Market Development, noted that GuardGate enhances current security measures by providing insights into site logistics and traffic patterns. "GuardGate extends these capabilities to not only stop unauthorised vehicles but to streamline site logistics, allowing LVT to extend beyond safety and security," he stated.
Cost-effective security solutions
Traditional security methods, relying on human guards, can be costly, with expenses exceeding $100,000
In 2025, North American cargo theft reached an estimated $725 million. Traditional security methods, relying on human guards, can be costly, with expenses exceeding $100,000 annually per unarmed guard. Steve Lindsey, LVT's co-founder and chief strategist, highlights how GuardGate offers an affordable alternative.
"Organisations no longer have to sacrifice personnel safety and cargo security to preserve operational cost efficiency," he said.
Customisation and efficacy
GuardGate's beta tests demonstrated a significant reduction in security costs and theft incidents. A retail customer reported a 30% reduction in guard expenses at high-traffic sites while minimising theft at smaller facilities. This is achieved through a combination of surveillance cameras and AI technology that prevents unauthorised access and ensures compliance with insurance demands for controlled access points.
This announcement aligns with LVT's ongoing advancements, following the launch of LPR powered by Insight and their top ranking in the 2025 Frost Radar™ for Mobile Surveillance. GuardGate represents a strategic expansion of LVT's capabilities in intelligent site management.
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.
