Westchester County Pricing Questions
Real questions we get from Westchester GCs, multifamily developers, estate owners, and contractors about pricing.
Q. What's the cheapest way to cover my White Plains or Yonkers multifamily build?
Entry tier rental at $3,125/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 Regeneron Pharmaceuticals $1.8B Tarrytown expansion (8 buildings, ~900, or any parcel with $100k+ materials onboard, yes. Live UL-listed agent talkdown stops 90%+ of attempted thefts on first trigger, and Westchester 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 Westchester pricing differ for Yonkers vs. Peekskill?
No — uniform Westchester County pricing. Peekskill and Yorktown in Northern Westchester get the same rate as Yonkers and Mount Vernon in Southern Westchester. No fuel surcharge based on distance from Bronx.
Q. What does the $42,000 installed tower include?
Concrete-anchored deep-foot installation, quad-head 4K PTZ array, hardened solar panels rated for Westchester weather, lithium battery cabinet, NDAA-compliant Axis or Hanwha components if requested (required for Yonkers SOYO waterfront district, RXR Larkin Plaza, Lionsgate, and Hudson River ), 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 Westchester 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 Westchester projects (Regeneron Tarrytown expansion, White Plains TOD, Yonkers SOYO, New Rochelle Leaf Tower) run 18–48 months. Modera Mamaroneck, AVE Hamilton, Ludlow Metro-North run 18–30 months. Estate work in Bedford and Pleasantville runs 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-Westchester delivery via Major Deegan or Hutchinson River Pkwy, on-site commissioning, app login provisioning, cellular registration, and end-of-term pickup. Two free repositions per term included — useful for phased multifamily like White Plains 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.
