Home / Security Cameras / Clinton, MA
Authorized Dealer
Galaxy IT & Marketing is an authorized Lorex dealer serving Clinton, MA. Every system we install records to a recorder in your building — no monthly subscription, and it keeps recording with the internet down.
Most of what we install in Clinton is small — a downtown storefront, a two-family, a small shop. When the budget is genuinely tight, the question is not which system to buy but which two cameras to buy first.
A lot of small-business advice assumes a system quote you can absorb. If you cannot, the honest answer is that a well-chosen two-camera install does most of the work of a badly-chosen eight-camera one, and it can be expanded later on the same recorder.
For a storefront, the two are: the entrance at face height, and the rear or service door. Not the sales floor — the entrance gives you everyone who came in, and the back door is where the losses that are not shoplifting occur. For a small residential property, the two are the driveway entrance and whichever door is least visible from the street.
Buy the recorder with more channels than you need at the start. The incremental cost of an eight-channel recorder over a four is small, and it means adding cameras later is a two-hour job rather than replacing the core of the system.
Clinton's downtown blocks sit tight together — party walls, shared rear access, and buildings that predate any thought of cable pathways. Practically that means the cable route is the bulk of the labour, and it means your rear coverage will probably include shared space, which is worth raising with the neighbours before a camera is on the wall rather than after.
The reason we standardise on Lorex is partly this: it records locally with no subscription, so a small system does not carry a monthly cost that grows with it, and adding cameras later means adding cameras rather than renegotiating a plan. A two-camera install that becomes a six-camera install over three years is a completely normal path and we would rather you take it than overextend on day one.
For a storefront: the entrance at face height, and the rear or service door. Not the sales floor — the entrance captures everyone who came in and the back door is where non-shoplifting losses happen. For a small home: the driveway entrance, and whichever door is least visible from the street.
Yes. The price difference between a four-channel and an eight-channel recorder is small, and it means adding cameras later is a two-hour visit instead of replacing the heart of the system. It is the cheapest futureproofing available on a camera install.
Not with the systems we install. Lorex records locally with no monthly fee, so a small system does not carry a cost that grows as you expand it. Going from two cameras to six over a few years is a normal path and does not change what you pay monthly, which is nothing.
