First time posting here, hoping to ask for some advice and to be pointed in the right direction. Apologies in advance for the long post, as I try to lay out our situation as concisely as possible.

I’m on an HOA board for a condo building that’s desperately in need of upgrades to access control and garage opening technology, as well as installation of a brand-new surveillance camera system. The building has experienced multiple mailbox thefts, stolen packages, car break-ins, loitering, etc.
