Disadvantage

1.   The control method is more complicated and the cost is higher.
2.   Insufficient waterproof and dustproof capacity.
3.   The appearance of the shape is relatively simple, plasticity is not strong.
4.  The technical requirements of the manufacturer are relatively high if the design is not good will greatly reduce the reliability of the product, as well as the ability to avoid personal injury.

Sliding Turnstile 

Advantage 

1.  Strong security, due to the large area of ​​the blocking arms, the smart turnstile gate can effectively prevent pedestrians from climbing and drilling illegally.
