LVT (LiveView Technologies, Inc.) has introduced GuardGate, a new portable barrier designed to regulate access in restricted commercial areas.
This solution enhances security by supporting staff at distribution centers, drop lots, storage yards, and similar locations. GuardGate aims to deter unauthorized entry, meet compliance and liability requirements, and provide clear evidence for quicker investigations.
Efficient Deployment and Operations
GuardGate can be installed in mere hours and offers features such as remote visual validation through video and audio, an intercom for communication, and the ability to remotely manage gate functions. Users can also schedule automatic gate operations and access logs of all gate activity.
"LVT’s solutions provide full coverage of diverse environments with capabilities proven to deter crime," stated Matt Kelley, SVP of Business and Market Development at LVT. "GuardGate not only stops unauthorized vehicles but also optimizes site logistics, turning security data into actionable insights that reduce investigation times."
Affordable Security Infrastructure
Many organizations face significant costs, exceeding $100,000 annually for basic unarmed security
The introduction of GuardGate comes at a time when North American cargo theft is estimated to reach $725 million by 2025. Many organizations face significant costs, exceeding $100,000 annually for basic unarmed security and upwards of $400,000 for specialized armed guards, not including the expense of building guard shacks with necessary infrastructure.
Steve Lindsey, LVT co-founder and chief strategist, remarked, "Organizations no longer have to compromise on safety and security for cost efficiency. Remote sites previously unable to support dedicated security can now use deterrence technology and video capabilities affordably."
Enhanced Surveillance Features
During its beta phase, GuardGate helped a retail client cut security expenses by more than 30% at busy distribution points and nearly eradicate theft at smaller sites. The system consists of a reliable physical barrier, customizable surveillance cameras, and sophisticated AI features to detect unauthorized access and alert security teams. These capabilities facilitate adherence to insurance requirements by maintaining controlled access at storage facilities.
This launch is part of LVT's ongoing advancements, which include the new LPR powered by Insight and a strategic move towards Intelligent Site Management. Additionally, LVT was recently recognized as the Innovative Leader in the 2025 Frost Radar™ for Mobile Surveillance.
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 centers, 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 unauthorized 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. Organizations commonly rely on security guards to monitor key checkpoints; however, 24/7 human coverage can cost over $100,000 annually for a single unarmed, unspecialized guard and over $400,000 for a single armed, specialized 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.
“Organizations 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 unauthorized 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.
