Can it work with a camera?

Many entry stations include one or integrate with a system you already have. Worth deciding before the pedestal is set, not after.

What happens if the internet drops?

Codes and tags keep working locally. It is the remote management that pauses, not the gate.

Where should the pedestal go?

Far enough back that a car is clear of the road, and at a height a driver can reach without opening the door.

The gate is nowhere near a power supply.

That is a normal starting point. Solar, battery and trenched runs are all real options, and the site decides between them.

One shared code is one code that eventually everybody knows. Per-person codes and tags mean the cleaner, the pool service and your brother-in-law each have their own, and pulling one does not inconvenience the other two.

A pedestal at the road can sit a long way from the house, so how the two talk to each other — wired, wireless or cellular — is settled before any hardware is chosen.

Ground that carries trucks, trailers and equipment moves under load, and anything set into it has to tolerate that.

Two approvals, not one

Anything structural at the property line in Miami-Dade answers to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, and that is what sets the frame and the fixings. Separately, Cutler Bay runs a local review, and where a homeowners' association governs the street it generally runs one of its own. Neither is a thing to discover after fabrication.
