Nassau County Pricing Questions
Real questions we get from Nassau GCs, multifamily developers, estate owners, and contractors about pricing.
Q. What's the cheapest way to cover my Hempstead or Mineola jobsite?
Entry tier rental at $3,000/mo, single-head, self-monitored. Works for short Beacon infill projects (1–3 months) where the foreman is on-site 12+ hours per day. Past 4 months, the math swings hard toward the Pro tier with 24/7 live monitoring — the marginal $1,490/mo more than pays for itself in builders-risk premium credits and avoided incidents.
Q. Is the Pro tier ($4,900) really worth $1,375/mo more than Entry?
For Garden City School District infill, Long Beach Boardwalk reconstruction, or any parcel with $100k+ materials onboard, yes. Live UL-listed agent talkdown stops 90%+ of attempted thefts on first trigger, and Nassau GCs consistently report builders-risk credits of 5–12% from Chubb, Travelers, and Cincinnati Insurance for documented monitored video — often eating the upcharge entirely.
Q. Does Nassau pricing differ for Hempstead vs. Long Beach?
No — uniform Nassau County pricing. Long Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Lido Beach at the South Shore get the same rate as Great Neck, Manhasset, and Roslyn on the North Shore. No fuel surcharge based on distance from Bronx.
Q. What does the $50,400 installed tower include?
Concrete-anchored deep-foot installation, quad-head 4K PTZ array, hardened solar panels rated for Nassau weather, lithium battery cabinet, NDAA-compliant Axis or Hanwha components if requested (required for Belmont Park UBS Arena perimeter, Phase 2 hotel and retail, Phase 3 residential), dual-SIM cellular, mobile app + 1-year cloud retention, 1-year parts warranty. Site survey, LPC/ARB liaison where applicable, and commissioning all included.
Q. Can I finance the purchase?
Yes — custom financing on the installed tower with deposit + milestone installments + final at commissioning. Most Nassau multifamily and estate buyers finance over 24–36 months. Mobile trailer purchases finance similarly with approved credit.
Q. What's the rental minimum?
30-day minimum on all tiers. Most Nassau projects (Westbury TOD, Hempstead Plaza, Garden City School District) run 12–24 months. Belmont Park phases run 18–48 months. Long Beach Boardwalk reconstruction runs 18–24 months. Estate compound builds run 9–18 months. Weekly rates available at premium for sub-30-day events.
Q. Are there setup or delivery fees on top of the monthly?
No. Monthly rate includes Bronx-to-Nassau delivery via Throgs Neck Bridge, on-site commissioning, app login provisioning, cellular registration, and end-of-term pickup. Two free repositions per term included — useful for multi-phase multifamily like Westbury TOD. Add-ons (extended cloud, thermal, LPR lane, mesh satellite cameras for outbuildings) priced separately.
Q. What's the deposit?
50% deposit on rentals over $5,000 total contract value. Jobs under $5,000 require full payment upfront. Standard across our work and matches the master contract.
