Community Video Surveillance
A community association needs cameras where residents share space: the gate, the pool, the mail room, the garage and the clubhouse. It also needs a system the board can explain to residents, with clear rules on who sees the footage. We install UniFi Protect HOA and condo security camera systems in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch and Manatee County.
The questions boards ask us are mostly about policy, not hardware: which areas can be recorded, who on the board or the management company gets access, how long footage is kept, and how a resident asks for a clip after a car is scratched in the garage. We set the system up so those answers are simple. Installation work is carried out with our Florida-licensed low-voltage partner.
Two short steps. A board member or the manager can walk the common areas with us.

Five UniFi camera types cover the gates and shared spaces of most communities and condo buildings.
At each gate the AI LPR records every plate in and out, day and night, and footage can be searched by plate. Plate data stays on the association's recorder.
Best for: entry and exit gates.
Lobbies, elevator landings and garages get IK10 metal-housed domes that keep recording after a knock.
Best for: lobbies, elevators and parking garages.
A G6 Pro Bullet beside the plate camera records the vehicle and driver; others cover the pool deck and the pool gate.
Best for: gate overviews and pool areas.
In the mail and package room a ceiling dome shows faces at the door and who takes which package.
Best for: mail rooms and package lockers.
A G6 180 on a clubhouse wall or above a parking lot covers a wide shared space from one point.
Best for: clubhouses, fitness rooms and lots.
Cameras belong in common areas only, never pointed into a unit, a balcony or a window. Association cameras run with audio off, because Florida requires everyone's consent to record a conversation, and signs at the entrances say the common areas are recorded.
Before we install, the board decides who can view live video, who can export clips, and how many days are kept. UniFi Protect gives each person their own login with only the cameras and history the board allows, and keeps footage on a recorder in the building. Your association's attorney should approve the written policy; we make sure the system matches it.
| Position | Camera | What it should capture |
|---|---|---|
| Entry and exit gates | AI LPR + G6 Pro Bullet | Plates of every vehicle and the vehicle itself, day and night. |
| Pool and pool gate | G6 Pro Bullet | The deck and the gate, for incidents and after-hours use. |
| Mail and package room | G6 Dome | Faces at the door and who takes which package. |
| Lobby and elevators | Vandal-resistant dome | Entrances and the elevator lobby. |
| Parking garage | G6 Turret | Drive aisles and stairwell doors, infrared for low light. |
On Siesta Key, Longboat Key and the bayfront, cameras go under overhangs where possible, every connection is sealed, and the recorder sits in a conditioned room on a battery backup. The camera range is covered on business security camera systems in Sarasota; for a private home, see security camera installation in Sarasota.
A gate with a plate camera plus the pool, mail room and garage usually means Business Pro, from $10,900 plus tax. Smaller buildings can start from Office 8, from $4,200 plus tax. The board gets a fixed price after a free walk.
Common areas such as gates, pools and mail rooms are usually recorded with the board's approval and posted signs. Your association's attorney should approve the written camera policy.
We install them with audio off. Florida requires everyone's consent to record a conversation.
Only the people the board names. Each gets a UniFi Protect login limited to the cameras and history they are allowed.
No per-camera fee. Footage records to a recorder in the building.
On the association's own recorder in the building. There is no cloud plate database and no yearly per-camera fee, and plates are not shared with anyone unless the board exports a clip.
Tell us about the community: the gates, the pool, the mail room, the garage. We call back to book a walk with a board member or the manager.
