River Hills Installs New Security System

The gated Valrico community of River Hills updated its security system last month. According to River Hills Board of Director VP and Communications, Libby Trautman, the community’s Infrastructure Committee began looking at vendors and systems almost two years ago in an effort to provide the best security for the best price.

“At the end of an exhaustive search, Envera Systems out of Sarasota was chosen as the contractor,” said Trautman. “Envera brings to River Hills not just military grade hardware and the most current high encryption software, but a stellar reputation of service, professionalism and reliability with it.”

The new system features an RFID style decal for each authorized resident and club member. The gate arms are longer, lot for better visibility and to eliminate the option of tailgating for unauthorized users. The cameras are state of the art and in addition to the community’s gate attendants, there will also be 24/7 remote monitoring from Envera’s base in Sarasota.

“This security update not only brings up to the current technology, but keeps us on the cutting edge while simultaneously providing enhanced security that will benefit the River Hills community for decades to come,” said Trautman.

For information, call River Hills at 662-10837.
