Protecting Sydney Homes: How FAAC FDS Technology Stops Gate and Garage Remote Hacking

The Alarming Rise in Home Invasions Across Australia


Across Australia, home invasions are on the rise and many are no longer the result of forced entry.


Instead, criminals are using sophisticated electronic
hacking devices to clone automatic gate and garage door remotes, gaining silent access to homes without leaving a trace.


At Bayside Automatic Gates, we’re deeply concerned about this trend. As Sydney’s trusted specialists in automatic driveway gates and garage door automation, we’ve built our reputation on reliability, high quality workmanship, and exceptional customer care.


Now, we’re leading the charge in protecting local homeowners against this growing digital threat.


How Criminals Clone Gate and Garage Door Remotes


Traditional automatic gate and garage systems use fixed-code transmitters, which send the same signal each time the button is pressed. Unfortunately, this makes them vulnerable to “code grabbing.”

With inexpensive devices available online, criminals can capture and duplicate these fixed codes in seconds. Once cloned, they can enter your driveway or garage effortlessly without any signs of forced entry.

This modern method of break-in has become increasingly common across Sydney suburbs, where privacy and security are high priorities.


Why Remote Cloning Is So Dangerous


Your gate and garage are often your home’s first line of defence.
Once compromised, thieves can move undetected putting not only your vehicle and valuables at risk, but your
family’s safety and peace of mind.

Because these crimes leave little to no physical evidence, homeowners are often unaware their security has been breached until it’s too late.


Introducing the FAAC FDS Remote Control System


To combat this, Bayside Automatic Gates now offers the FAAC FDS (Fixed Digital System) a revolutionary remote technology that makes cloning and hacking virtually impossible.

Instead of transmitting a fixed code, FAAC FDS uses rolling-code encryption, meaning every press of the remote generates a completely unique signal.
Even if a criminal intercepts the transmission, it’s useless the next time the button is pressed, preventing duplication or replay attacks.

With FAAC FDS, only you control your gates and garage doors.

If your gate or garage remote is more than a few years old, it is vulnerable to cloning.
