Why it matters here
A System That Quits In A Storm Isn’t A Security System
Most security systems on the Gulf Coast report over the internet and run on grid power. Both fail in the same event — and that event is the one you bought the system for.
Cellular Signal Path
Reporting runs over cellular, not your internet connection. When the line goes down, the alarm still reaches the monitoring center.
Battery Backup Standard
Panels, controllers, and cameras carry battery backup as part of the build — not as an upgrade line you find out about after the outage.
One Local Team
The person who designs it installs it, and the person who installs it answers the service call. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor or a national call center.
Cameras
Property-Wide Camera Coverage
Multifamily coverage is entries, exits, parking, and amenities — the common areas where incidents happen and claims begin. Florida’s HB 837 framework specifically expects camera coverage at entries and exits with footage retained; we design to that line and document it.
- Entry/exit coverage with 30-day retention per F.S. 768.0706
- Parking, mail, pool, and amenity coverage sized to the property
- Footage export workflows for management, insurers, and counsel
When the power drops
A storm outage is when a dark property is most exposed and when your retention record cannot afford a gap. Battery-backed recording and cellular reporting keep both running — and keep your compliance file intact.
Gates & Entry
Gates, Doors & Controlled Entry
Controlled entry on a multifamily property is a credential lifecycle problem: move-ins, move-outs, vendors, and amenity hours, at scale. Cloud access management ties every gate, lobby, and amenity door to one system your office staff can actually run.
- Unit-turnover credential management without the spreadsheet
- Amenity schedules — pool and gym doors that keep property hours
- Vehicle gates tied to the same audit trail as pedestrian doors
When the power drops
A community gate that fails open for a three-day outage undermines both security and the marketing promise of a gated property. Battery-backed operators with documented fail-states are part of our multifamily spec by default.
Liability
Hardware That Holds Up In A Claim
When a negligent-security claim lands, the questions are concrete: was the entry covered, was the footage retained, was the gate working, and can you prove it. We install to those questions and hand you the documentation that answers them.
- As-built documentation for your compliance and insurance file
- Maintenance records that prove the system stayed operational
- Direct line to the compliance assessment at /hb-837/
When the power drops
Documentation includes the resilience story — battery specs, cellular paths, and maintenance records that show the system was designed to survive exactly the conditions a claim might probe.

Common questions
Before You Call
Does this make my property HB 837 compliant?
Hardware is a necessary part of compliance, not the whole of it. F.S. 768.0706 pairs physical measures — cameras with retention, lighting, locking hardware — with a CPTED assessment and employee training. Our /hb-837/ assessment maps your property against the full statute; this page covers the hardware we install against it.
Can you work across a phased or multi-building property?
Yes — per-building quotes let you phase the work across budgets or budget years, on one system that grows as phases complete. Most properties start with entries, gates, and the worst-lit parking areas.
Who manages credentials day to day?
Your office staff, from a browser — move-ins, move-outs, and vendor access without calling us. We handle the system; you handle the people, with training included at handoff.
What actually happens during a hurricane or an outage?
The panel switches to battery and keeps reporting over cellular, so monitoring continues even with no power and no internet at the building. Cameras on battery backup keep recording. You keep phone access to the system as long as you have a signal, wherever you have evacuated to.
Which areas do you cover?
Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, and Bay counties — Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Milton, Pace, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Crestview, Niceville, Panama City, and the communities between them.
