Authorized Dealer
Galaxy IT & Marketing is an authorized Lorex dealer serving Hopkinton, MA. Every system we install records to a recorder in your building — no monthly subscription, and it keeps recording with the internet down.
Hopkinton has been building steadily, and new construction is the cheapest possible moment to put in a camera system — provided somebody thinks of it before the walls close up.
Pulling camera cable during construction costs a fraction of fishing it through finished walls later, and the marginal cost of running extra cable while the framing is open is close to nothing. Even if you do not intend to install cameras for another two years, running the cable now means the future install is an afternoon instead of a project.
The runs worth pulling are: driveway entrance, front approach, each exterior door, the garage, and any ground-level slider or large window. Terminate them at wherever the network equipment will live.
Newer Hopkinton development tends toward larger lots with long driveways, which brings the same distance question as Sudbury. The camera that matters is at the road end of the driveway, at vehicle height, and that is usually the position furthest from power. PoE handles it as long as the run is planned; solar wire-free covers it where it is not.
Once a year the town fills with a very large number of people and vehicles. For businesses and homes near the start, that is worth a specific conversation — not because of any particular risk, but because it is the one day when your normal assumptions about who is on your property do not hold, and it is a useful stress test of whether your coverage actually works under crowd conditions.
Cable to the driveway entrance, the front approach, every exterior door, the garage, and any ground-level slider or large window — terminated where the network equipment will live. Doing it while framing is open costs a fraction of fishing it later, and you can install the cameras themselves whenever you want.
PoE is the clean answer if the run is planned, because the same cable carries power and video and we only need a path to the recorder. Where that is not viable, a solar wire-free camera covers the position, with the caveat that battery cameras have a wake-up delay so we would not rely on one alone at a critical point.
Yes, that is most residential work. It takes longer than pre-wiring and we plan cable routes during the walkthrough to keep the runs concealed and the drilling minimal. Where a route genuinely will not work, wire-free cameras fill the gap.
