Really dont know where to ask about this, but its worth a try here.

Basically I want to know if one of these http://www.quantekshop.co.uk/gsm%20gate ... oller.html is compatible with a came gate system that currently has a keypad system and a fob system working from it to opening the gate, can this be added too?

Impossible to tell without the make/model of the gates you wish to use it with although I suspect most (all) gates operate their motors via a change-over contact therefore it 'should' be just fine.

You may have to mount it in an enclosure adjacent to the existing CAME control panel ,. but you should easily be able to link it up to the panel to make it work. The last CAME sytem i worked on had a set of contacts for the opening of the gates, so you would just put this in parallel with the existing opening method. It also depends if you have a 12V control system , if not a socket will also be needed to plug the power supply into .

If you can post more details of the gate panel (model no) we will be able to advise further.

Yes it can, but it will only open, unless you have your gate on a timed closing or proximity closing, you will need to connect the output to the gate control board, probably on the same pins as the keypad
