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.

Ours is a shared entry, not a driveway.

Different machine. It gets specified on cycles a day and on who needs to get through it, not on the gate's weight alone.

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 shared entry has to carry resident throughput, guest access and vendor access on one lane, and somebody has to be able to add and remove people without booking a service call.

Where an association governs the street, its architectural review usually runs in parallel with the municipal permit rather than after it.

Wind load first, paperwork second

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers Miami-Dade in full, which is what decides the frame and the fixings long before anyone picks a finish. Approval is a separate, local question: in North Miami it runs through whichever authority has jurisdiction, and where a homeowners' association governs the street its architectural review usually runs alongside it.
