Walk-Through Gate Detection

Multi-zone electromagnetic walk-through metal detectors for banks, corporate lobbies, malls, and institutions — safe low-frequency scanning at high throughput.

Overview

Screen every visitor without slowing the queue.

Walk-through metal detector gates are the first physical line of defence for any building with a public entrance. EverWatch supplies and installs multi-zone gates that scan visitors in under a second, pinpoint the concealed item's location on the body, and log every alarm event.

Our gates use low-frequency electromagnetic scanning that is safe for pacemakers, pregnant women, and mobile phones, while still detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals — from knives and firearms to concealed devices.

We integrate the gates with your CCTV, access control, and guard workstation so every alarm is recorded, reviewable, and tied to a video clip of the person who triggered it.

Key Benefits

Why this matters for your business.

  • Deter & Detect Weapons

    Immediate visual and audible alarm on ferrous and non-ferrous metals at every zone of the body.

  • High-Throughput Screening

    Scan up to 60 visitors per minute with pinpoint zone indication — no bag-by-bag delay at the entrance.

  • Pinpoint Zone Detection

    Multi-zone gates show the exact body location of concealed metal on an LED map for the security officer.

  • Safe for Everyone

    Low-frequency electromagnetic scanning is safe for pacemakers, pregnant women, and electronic devices.

  • Full Alarm Logging

    Every alarm event is timestamped, counted, and can be linked to a CCTV clip for after-action review.

  • Visible Deterrence

    The gate itself signals to visitors that your site is professionally secured — reducing attempts.

What's Included

A complete deployment, under one contract.

  • Multi-Zone Gates

    6, 18, or 33-zone gates that isolate the exact body region containing metal.

  • High-Traffic Panels

    Wide-aperture models sized for bank branches, mall entrances, and event ingress lanes.

  • Adjustable Sensitivity

    Per-zone sensitivity tuning to ignore small everyday metals while catching weapon-grade masses.

  • CCTV & Access Integration

    Alarm events trigger CCTV bookmarks and can hold access-control doors closed until cleared.

  • Airports, seaports, and border facilities
  • Government buildings and courthouses
  • Shopping malls and cinemas
  • Hotels, banquet halls, and event venues
  • Schools, universities, and examination centres
  • Stadiums, arenas, and public gatherings
Our Installation Process

From first site visit to handover — how we deliver.

Every EverWatch deployment follows the same disciplined, engineer-led process so you know exactly what happens at each stage.

  1. 01

    Entry-Point Assessment

    We evaluate expected footfall, gate width required, floor material, nearby metal (rebar, cash counters), and integration needs.

  2. 02

    Model Selection & Quote

    We recommend the right number of zones, aperture width, and calibration profile — with a fixed-price quote.

  3. 03

    Delivery & Assembly

    Gates arrive pre-tested from the manufacturer and are assembled on site with anchor bolts and cable management.

  4. 04

    Calibration & Zone Tuning

    Engineers calibrate against ambient interference and tune per-zone sensitivity to your policy (jewellery pass, weapon fail).

  5. 05

    Integration

    Optional wiring to CCTV bookmarking, access-control interlocks, and guard workstation dashboards.

  6. 06

    Guard Training

    Your security team is trained on secondary screening protocol, zone reading, alarm logs, and daily test procedure.

  7. 07

    Maintenance

    AMC covers annual recalibration, panel inspection, and replacement of any indicator or power supply components under SLA.

Frequently Asked

Questions we hear before every project.

Are these gates safe for people with pacemakers or pregnancy?

Yes. Our gates operate on very low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields well below the thresholds set by international health standards. They are safe for pacemakers, medical implants, pregnant women, and mobile phones.

Will they alarm on everyday items like coins or belt buckles?

Sensitivity is adjustable per zone. We calibrate the gate to ignore small everyday metals (coins, keys, belt buckles) while still catching handgun and knife-sized metal masses. Higher-security sites can run stricter profiles.

How many people can pass through per minute?

A well-tuned multi-zone gate handles 30–60 people per minute in single-file flow. For very high throughput (malls, stadium ingress) we install multiple gates side by side.

Do the gates need special flooring or power?

They need a level floor and a standard 220 V power outlet. If the floor has heavy rebar or nearby metal fixtures, we adjust calibration during installation. Some models also run on battery backup for outdoor use.

Can we log every alarm event?

Yes. Gates include on-board counters for total passes and alarm events, and higher-end models export event logs. Integrated with CCTV, every alarm bookmarks a video clip for later review.

How long does installation take?

A single gate is typically installed, calibrated, and handed over within one working day. Multi-gate deployments at malls or stadiums are usually completed within 2–4 days including integration.

What kind of maintenance is required?

Very little. A daily 30-second self-test by your guard, plus an annual recalibration and inspection by our engineers, keeps the gate performing to spec. Consumable parts are minimal.
