Increase Security with Video Surveillance
Video surveillance can be “layered” into your existing access
control system to further enhance your community’s security and
prestige. Under our Florida "limited energy" license,
Sunbelt Gated Access Systems is now certified to sell, install and
repair video surveillance systems for your community's gates,
grounds and amenities.
We now have a page on our web site in the "Our Products" section
that has a brief explanation of how these systems can and are being
used by communities to improve their access control systems. This
page should answer many of the questions you may have and explains
many of the ways the addition of video surveillance can impact your
community.

Are You Using a Licensed Vendor?
Beginning in April of 2011, Duval County joined several other counties in Florida and Georgia by requiring that all gate operator installations and repairs be done by a licensed vendor. This vendor can be licensed locally through the county or hold a Florida or Georgia Specialty Electrical Contractor's License for Limited Energy (formerly Low Voltage).
The licensing process protects you, the end users, by making sure that your system is installed and maintained by people that understand the right and safe way to install, maintain and use these systems. In addition, licensed individuals and companies are required to submit to a thorough background check and technical, financial and business practices examinations. Finally, a licensed vendor is required to carry a full array of insurance policies, including property, liability and workers' compensation in order to maintain their license.
In addition to the advantages of listed above, using a non-licensed vendor can result in additional costs to you as the customer. If a non-licensed vendor is "caught" working on a project, they are immediately issued a "cease and desist" order and must do no more work on any projects they are involved in. Substantial fines will be levied as well. The resulting delays and costs of finding a licensed vendor to complete the project will fall on the customer.
We have complied with the local licensing requirements by earning the state license and we now proudly display our license number at the top of our web pages. This required a substantial commitment of time and money to qualify for the license and, in fact, we have qualified two of our principals for the license.
We urge everyone that is using or planning to use this type of equipment to make sure they are dealing with a properly licensed and fully insured vendor for your protection. Use the links below to make sure you are dealing with a licensed professional:
