If swing gates with underground actuators, make sure they are well drained.
(The W*****s that installed the ones I have to use didn't do this so it is fun in winter when they freeze)
They should have battery backup for when power dies, but if power is off for a while, make sure there is a manual override. My neighbour has to unbolt his every time there are power issues.
Put in a keypad rather than push button so nobody can use gates without the code.
If a distance from your house, install a GSM device so guests can just phone the gate to enter. it can also be used for a remote intercom.
Put in a good sized conduit whenever things go underground so you can add/repair things easily.
We have Came gear and I have to say it is quite good, only problems are with the sensors, but I think that might be due to them being submerged most of the year.
