Gate Automation
CID Solutions: CAME FROG-X
At CID Solutions, we design and install bespoke gate automation, barrier, and access control systems tailored to meet the unique needs of private residences, businesses, and estates across the UK. Our solutions combine cutting-edge engineering with discreet, hard-wearing design to deliver dependable, long-lasting performance in any environment. From private driveways and rural properties to car parks, commercial premises, and gated developments, our installations are crafted to provide secure, convenient access while meeting the latest safety standards and compliance requirements.
For underground swing gate automation, we highly recommend the CAME FROG-X – our most popular and trusted choice. Fully concealed beneath the driveway, this system preserves the appearance of your gates and property while delivering powerful, silent, and reliable operation – the ultimate solution when aesthetics matter just as much as performance.
