More and more communities, residential, establishments, town houses and even private clubs are seeking strong and reliable security. People are now keen on who is entering their areas for security purposes. Thus, a gate control had been developed to provide the needed protection and to increase awareness of cars and people who are actually strangers and at times not permitted to enter a certain community.

In addition, those who opt to stay and reside in gated communities seek a level of confidence that they are well-secured, and that there would be lesser incidence of traffic and precise access to nearby streets. Yet, even residents have encountered difficulty in entering their community in some instance. This is because of the manual process, and can be erroneous at other times. It can also be time consuming and disorganized because of passwords and "clickers" and the use of logbooks and papers.

Gate Security With RFID Technology

Risks

Typically, a gate is being constructed for the purpose of monitoring who comes in and out of a specific area. But there are also many occasions wherein visitors can enter the place with the use of remote controls to open a gate illegally and allow the car to pass. In fact, there are several ways to enter the premises unlawfully without being noticed. This event can be a huge risk for people who works or reside in that particular location since indeed, there is that great possibility that burglars, syndicates or suspicious people can pass through gates conveniently without questions.

RFID Technology

Thus, RFID technology had minimized these incidents to happen if not totally eliminate the problem. How is this so? An RFID tag is the solution to this problem. This tag is being provided for each vehicle which contains the complete details of a particular car. Therefore, those who are staying in a certain exclusive community or establishment can be monitored using this tag, and whoever enters without this device can be immediately detected.

This system therefore promotes added security and protective measures that can make the residents feel comfortable and secure. They can be assured that suspicious elements cannot easily enter the vicinity for fear of being intercepted immediately. And because of the convenience it offers, everything can be systematic, easy and time saving. There is no use for log books and record manually every car and transaction that pass through the gate.
Summary

Therefore, those who plan to enter without permission and perhaps do not have good intentions will now think twice before doing so. Easily identified, unauthorized persons will never be allowed to go in, and if the visit is authorized, the vicinity permitted is only limited to some extent.

RFID tags immediately sends an alarm or signal once there is an illegal entry or forced entry to any gated community or establishment. This is how beneficial this technology is which is now gaining popularity
Graphic Image Files

It's sometimes confusing working with graphic files, there many different file extensions (.tif,.wmf,,cdr,.ai, etc). Some graphic file types are proprietary, you can only open / edit them with the program that created them. However, most graphic design software will allow you to Export or Save As specific file type such as.jpg or.pdf. Although there seems to be and endless number of file types, they all can be divided into two basic ways of storing a graphic, vector or raster. Each of these types has its own characteristics.

Graphic Image File Types - What Do They Mean?

RASTER or pixel based images are composed of square pixels (dots). Each pixel is assigned a position and color in the image file. The pixels are aligned end to end across and vertically in the file. The resolution of the image tells you how may pixels or Dots per Inch (DPI) the image has. The more dots, the higher quality the image will be. But higher resolution comes at a cost, storing all those pixel locations and colors take up quite a bit of memory, that's why raster images sometimes have very large file sizes. 10, 15 or more Mega Bytes (1MB = 1 million bytes). You also have seen images where curved lines have a saw tooth appearance, square pixels lined up make great looking vertical and horizontal lines but not very good curved lines. The lower the resolution (DPI) the more obvious the saw tooth pattern this becomes.

VECTOR or line based images are composed of lines that specified by coordinates on a grid. There is a beginning point, straight or curved line and an end point. There are no pixels or resolution. You can make the image any size from 2 inches to 20 ft, it will look the same, just a perfectly smooth line. That's why Computer Aided Design (CAD) software stores images in a vector based file, it provides infinite resolution (accuracy). Another advantage is that the file size is typically small, it has to only store a few coordinates for a specific shape within the image file.

Converting from Raster to Vector / Vector to Raster images.

Vector based image files can sometimes contain raster images. However raster image file types don't store any vector image data. That's important to note if you want to Export or Save As to a different file type. It's easy in most vector software to convert a vector (line based) image to a raster (pixel based) image, you just save as a .tif, .jpg or other raster image only format. But going from a raster image to a vector based image isn't that easy. Yes, there are programs that do a raster to vector conversion, but they all work by tracing the pixel image. Some raster to vector programs work better than others, but you always lose some detail on the image, or you get a saw tooth line.

Common File Types

If your image file type is .jpg, .tif, .gif, .bmp or .png file extension, it is a raster (pixel) image. Common programs for editing raster images are PhotoShop, Paintbrush, Corel Photo-Paint

If your image file type is .ai, .wmf, .cgm, .cdr, .eps, .ai, .pdf it may contain vector images, raster images or a combination of both. You would need to open and with vector design software and do a View Outlines or Wireframe to see if vector based lines are present. Common programs for editing vector images are Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Canvas, Quark.
