We've been looking at SenSource specifically because it is so much cheaper than the maintenance on the gates we are using.  For example, almost 10 SenSource annual licenses (although not the units themselves) for the same cost as one double-gate maintenance.  The expensive part is going to be installing network jacks nearby.

I really like that with strategic placement, you can cover multiple pathways that can be individually counted.
