Case Study
Building a Law Firm's Technology Infrastructure From the Ground Up
Nova Law Group
Security Cameras · Access Control · Intercoms · Structured Cabling · A/V Systems · Alarm Systems
PAX Security built a complete technology infrastructure from the ground up for Nova Law Group's Newark immigration law office -- covering structured cabling, 25-camera surveillance, alarm, access control, intercoms, A/V, and smart building controls.
The Challenge
What We Were Brought In To Solve
Nova Law Group's Newark office had zero existing network infrastructure when PAX Security arrived. There was no cabling, no networking equipment, and no security systems in place -- everything had to be designed and deployed from scratch in an active professional environment serving hundreds of immigration and family law clients.
The PAX Solution
How We Delivered
PAX Security engineered and installed a full technology stack: 48 structured Cat5e/Cat6 network drops, a rack-mounted Ubiquiti UniFi network (Dream Machine Pro SE gateway, 24-port Layer 3 switch with 10G SFP+, and 3 ceiling-mounted WiFi 7 access points), a 25-camera Vivotek IP surveillance system recorded on a rackmounted DW Spectrum NVR, a Qolsys IQ Panel 4 alarm with 7 DSC PowerG motion detectors and 20 door/window sensors, Akuvox SIP video intercoms with electric door strikes for access control, Russound in-ceiling audio, GoControl Z-Wave smart dimmers, and Alarm.com smart thermostats.
