Authorized Dealer
Galaxy IT & Marketing is an authorized Lorex dealer serving Shrewsbury, 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 our Shrewsbury work is residential, and most of it starts with the same two complaints: packages walking off the step, and cars being tried in the driveway overnight.
Almost everyone starts by putting a camera over the front door. It is the wrong first camera. A door camera sees someone who is already at your door; a driveway camera positioned at the entrance, at roughly head or windshield height, sees who arrived and in what — which is the footage that is actually useful to police.
Shrewsbury's housing stock skews toward longer driveways and detached garages, which helps: there is usually a good mounting point that gives you the approach without pointing into a neighbor's property. We check that sightline during the walkthrough, because a camera that overlooks a neighbor's yard causes problems you do not want.
On the business side, the Route 9 corridor through town is retail, service and office. The pattern there is standard commercial — entrance, interior, rear door, lot — but the lots are the part that gets underspecified. A parking area that is fine under daylight is frequently unusable in December at 4:30pm.
Waterfront and near-water properties add a wrinkle: seasonal occupancy. A house nobody visits from November to April is worth covering specifically, and it is worth pairing with a battery backup so the cameras keep recording through a winter outage rather than going dark exactly when the property is empty.
The driveway entrance, not the front door. A door camera shows you someone who is already at your door. A driveway camera at windshield height shows you who arrived and what they drove, which is the footage police can act on. Add the door second.
Not if we place it properly. We check the sightline during the walkthrough and choose the lens and angle to cover your property without overlooking someone else’s. It avoids a neighbor dispute and it keeps the footage focused on what matters.
They will, as long as you have power and internet. For a property that sits empty through the winter we usually recommend pairing the system with a battery backup so an ice-storm outage does not take your coverage down at exactly the moment nobody is there.
Free walkthrough, written plan, no obligation. If your current cameras are fine, we will say so.
