Does Emirtech install CAME gate automation systems in Abu Dhabi?
Yes, across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Emirtech Technology is a security and IT systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) based in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, and we supply, install, configure and maintain CAME gate operators, boom barriers and associated access automation components. Our ADMCC approval covers regulated security work in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. In Dubai, CCTV, alarm and access control fall under SIRA, which Emirtech does not hold, so that work goes through SIRA-approved partners; gate motors and barriers in Dubai are installed by Emirtech by appointment.
Does Emirtech supply genuine CAME products?
Emirtech sources genuine CAME hardware — including gate motors, barrier units, safety sensors and control accessories — for all projects we undertake. We are a security systems integrator, not a manufacturer's agent, but we procure authentic CAME products and support them with professional installation and ongoing maintenance.
How much does a CAME gate automation system cost in Abu Dhabi?
Installation cost depends on several factors: the gate type (sliding, swing or barrier), the gate leaf weight and width, the number of access points, integration requirements (intercoms, RFID readers, ANPR cameras) and the civil works involved. Emirtech provides free site surveys and detailed quotations at no obligation — call +971 55 651 7843 or e-mail

What is the difference between CAME sliding gate and underground swing gate operators?
Sliding gate operators mount on the ground beside the gate track and are suited to sites with a flat driveway and sufficient run-back space for the leaf to retract. Underground swing gate operators are buried in concrete pads below the gate leaf pivot point, making them invisible from the surface and a popular choice where aesthetics are a priority — such as at villa entrances or hotel driveways. CAME offers both types across a range of duty cycles and leaf weights.
Do you repair existing CAME gates and barriers?
Yes. We diagnose and repair CAME gates and boom barriers in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, whoever installed them, and we reply to repair enquiries the same working day. We are not an authorised CAME dealer; we repair as an independent integrator. See
automatic gate and barrier repair.
Can CAME boom barriers integrate with ANPR cameras and access control software?
Yes. CAME barrier control boards provide relay outputs and support wiring to external access control equipment, including automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras, RFID card readers, loop detectors and intercom systems. Emirtech's engineers configure these integrations during commissioning so that the barrier responds automatically to authorised number plates or valid credentials without requiring manual intervention.
Do you install and service CAME gate barriers and gate motors in Dubai?
Yes, by appointment. Emirtech has no Dubai office; our own engineers travel from Mussafah, Abu Dhabi to supply, install and service CAME sliding and swing gate motors and GARD boom barriers in Dubai, as well as in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Emirtech holds no SIRA approval, so any CCTV, alarm or access-control element of a Dubai project is delivered through SIRA-approved partners with Emirtech coordinating. We are an independent integrator, not an authorised CAME dealer. See
gate barrier systems in Dubai.
Which CAME gate type suits a villa, compound, warehouse or car park?
For a villa, a CAME sliding operator (BX or BK series) suits a flat driveway with room for the leaf to retract, and an in-ground or surface-mounted swing operator (FROG or ATI series) suits a swing gate where appearance matters. For a compound, heavy-duty sliding operators suit the main entrance, with GARD boom barriers on vehicle lanes. For a warehouse, an industrial-rated sliding operator with safety edge detection. For a car park, GARD boom barriers with loop detectors and ticketing or ANPR. Leaf weight, span and daily cycles decide the final model.
My CAME gate motor is not working or needs repair: what should I check and who services it?
First check the power: a tripped breaker or a power cut stops most operators, and a gate on battery back-up stops when the batteries run flat. After rain, look for water in the control board housing and, for an in-ground operator, in the pit. Wipe the photocells, clear the gate path, fit a fresh remote battery, and check that a gate released by hand has been locked again. If it still does not move, or stops and reverses, stop using it and call us. Emirtech diagnoses and repairs CAME gates and barriers in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Dubai (by appointment in Dubai), whoever installed them. See
automatic gate and barrier repair.
What is the difference between a CAME gate barrier and a CAME gate motor?
A CAME gate barrier is a boom barrier, such as the GARD series: a raising arm that controls vehicles at one lane without closing the whole boundary. A CAME gate motor, also called a gate operator, drives a sliding gate (BX and BK series) or a swing gate (FROG and ATI series) and closes the full opening. Many compounds use both, with gate motors on the boundary and barriers on the vehicle lanes. We confirm the right mix at the site survey.
What comes with a CAME gate automation system besides the motor?
The motor or barrier is paired with a control board and the accessories the site needs: safety photocells, edge sensors, key switches, remote control transmitters and receivers, and RFID readers or intercom and ANPR links where access control is required. CAME Connect offers remote monitoring and diagnostics where the site has an internet connection. The exact list is set at the survey and written into the itemised quotation.
Can I add a CAME gate motor to an existing manual gate?
Often yes, if the gate is sound. At the survey we check the leaf weight and span, whether the gate hangs and moves freely, the condition of the posts, hinges or track, and the power supply, and then tell you whether a sliding or swing motor fits or whether the gate needs repair first. We do not promise a motor will suit a damaged or badly hung gate. We serve Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, and Dubai by appointment with no Dubai office.
