Surveillance Technology, Inc. (STI) maintains relationships with countless residential communities across the greater Tampa Bay area. They have over 50 years of combined experience securing residential properties in partnership with homeowner and condominium associations. One longtime customer of their surveillance and access control solutions is a 55+ deed-restricted manufactured home community in Palm Harbor, The Village of Lake Tarpon.
During the most recent phase of work, STI expanded the community’s access control system to include the pool area, which has an independent bath house with men’s and women’s restrooms and a sauna. Electric HES recessed strikes and readers were installed at two doors. Surveillance Tech has a wide selection of industrial door locks to meet the exact needs of your space. If you are short on space, securing a glass door, or have a damaged jamb, STI can solve for it with the right hardware. You don’t need to know how a door access control system works. Surveillance Tech experts can assess the material & condition of any openings you’d like secured and suggest a custom approach to retrofit your property in compliance with fire, life safety, and building codes. They know how to create access control on existing doors to secure your property with durable and reliable strikes for every situation.
These doors use the same card credentials used by residents elsewhere on property. Surveillance Tech can design a fully integrated system, using the same database across multiple structures and entry points, creating a community where residents can move seamlessly throughout your property without remembering ever-changing codes, or carrying multiple keys, fobs, or cards.
The bath house structure stands alone, and there is no internet in the building. To support the IP-based network access controller, Surveillance Tech installed a wireless bridge to connect to the internet in the main office, to ensure high quality connectivity without physically running cable.
Village of Lake Tarpon is a sprawling property with lakefront access to the iconic, 2,500 acre Lake Tarpon. The community offers other exterior amenities, such as bocce ball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, and a golf putting green. As the social hub, the clubhouse features a kitchen, card room, billiards, library, and stage for entertainment. Vibrant and complex communities like this require a sophisticated solution – or combination of complementary solutions – to provide coordinated safety through surveillance and access control. STI has decades of experience helping governing bodies and property owners balance their residents’ desire for security with budget constraints. By engaging a single expert in both surveillance and access control like Surveillance Technology, community leaders can offer affordable, comprehensive security for their residents.
