Galaxy IT & Marketing is an authorized Lorex dealer serving Southborough, MA. Every system we install records to a recorder in your building — no monthly subscription, and it keeps recording with the internet down.
Southborough properties tend to be larger, set back, and increasingly gated. Where there is a gate, the camera and the entry system should be one system rather than two things bolted near each other.
A gate with a keypad, an intercom at the post, and a camera mounted separately on the house is three devices that do not talk to each other. The version that actually works puts a camera at the entry point itself, so that when someone presses to be let in you see them on your phone, speak to them, and open the gate from the same screen — whether you are inside the house or an hour away.
That also fixes the common failure where the gate camera shows a car roof. A camera integrated at post height sees the driver, which is the point.
Gated properties generate a specific friction: contractors, landscapers, deliveries and cleaners all need to get in, and the usual workaround is a code that eventually everyone in three towns knows. Camera coverage at the gate plus the ability to open remotely means you can stop handing out a permanent code and still let people in.
Inside the gate, service vehicles and equipment left on site during a project are worth a camera of their own — the same logic as a construction site, at smaller scale.
The entry point is usually a long way from where the recorder lives, and that is the engineering problem. Direct-burial cable in the same trench as the gate's own power is the cleanest solution when a trench already exists; otherwise a PoE extender or a point-to-point wireless link between the gate and the house does it. Worth planning before a driveway gets paved rather than after.
Yes, and it should be one system rather than a separate intercom and camera. A camera at the entry point means that when someone presses to come in you see them, speak to them and open the gate from the same screen on your phone, whether you are in the house or an hour away.
Camera coverage at the gate plus remote opening. You let people in when they arrive instead of issuing a permanent code that gradually spreads to every contractor and delivery driver in the area. It is the single most practical upgrade on a gated property.
If a trench already exists for the gate power, direct-burial cable in the same run is cleanest. Otherwise a PoE extender or a point-to-point wireless link between gate and house works well. Worth deciding before the driveway is paved — retrofitting a run under finished asphalt is the expensive version.
