Does it need Wi-Fi at the gate?
No. The outdoor sensor communicates directly with the indoor hub over its own wireless link.

Gate & Entrance Alerts
Know Who Or What Reached Your Gate.
An entrance can be far from the house and beyond your router. Reporter AI puts motion detection and image verification at the gate, then brings the alert indoors over its own long-range wireless link.
Monitor The Approach
Place the sensor to observe people and vehicles as they approach the entrance. Aim at the area you want to monitor and test detections before fixing the mounting position. Reporter alerts you to activity; it does not open or control the gate.
Bring The Image Indoors
Keep the hub where someone can hear and see the alert. A captured still image helps explain what arrived. You can choose relevant target types instead of treating every type of activity as equally important.
Plan Around The Actual Site
Tested open-air wireless range at 1000 m. Actual range depends on terrain, structures, interference, mounting, and line of sight.
- Check reception with the gate open and closed.
- Consider metal gates, buildings, vegetation, and changes in terrain.
- Test the intended sensor and hub positions before final installation.
Optional Alerts When You Are Away
Connect the indoor hub to Wi-Fi internet to receive free app alerts and images. No Wi-Fi is required at the gate sensor. Without a connected hub, the system continues to provide local alerts indoors.
Gate & Entrance Alerts: Your Questions
Can I monitor more than one entrance?
Yes. One hub supports up to 25 outdoor sensors. Check wireless reception from each planned location.
Does it record video of arriving visitors?
Reporter captures still images for alerts. It does not provide continuous video recording.
