Managing a gated community in the Caribbean comes with a constant, invisible drain on your budget: Physical Remotes.
Between the high cost of replacements, the technical fees for programming, and the security risks of lost keys, HOA boards in Trinidad and Jamaica are spending thousands of dollars on outdated technology. It’s time for a smarter, more cost-effective way to manage your gates.
The Math: Physical Remotes vs. Gated Home
When you look at the numbers over an 8-year period, the physical remote becomes an expensive liability. Whether you are a small complex or a large 40-household development, the savings with Gated Home are undeniable.
| Community Size | Access Needed | Physical Remote Cost* | Gated Home Cost | Your HOA Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Complex | 1 House (2 Users) | $700.00 | $480.00 | $220.00 |
| Mid-Sized | 20 Houses (60 Users) | $21,000.00 | $9,600.00 | $11,400.00 |
| Large Estate | 40 Houses (120 Users) | $42,000.00 | $19,200.00 | $22,800.00 |
*Physical remote cost assumes $350 TTD per unit. Gated Home cost excludes one-time device/installation fee.
