Security System Removal & Upgrades
Overview of our services
At Sipko Security, we professionally remove security alarms and cameras across Melbourne. Our technicians handle safe power isolation, clean de-installation, and neat make-good for homes and businesses. Whether you’re upgrading, moving, or retiring old hardware, we leave your property tidy, hazard-free, and ready for what’s next. With precise methods and documented handover, we’re your trusted partner for security system removal in Melbourne.
Key components of alarm & camera removal:
- Safe decommissioning & isolation: Isolate power at the source, verify with a multimeter, and shut down panels, sirens, keypads, PIRs and PoE/CCTV gear—without nuisance alarms or circuit damage.
- Cabling & make-good: Remove or trim legacy cabling, fire-stop penetrations, cap conduits, and patch small holes so surfaces are clean and presentable.
- Evidence-grade data handling: Securely hand over or wipe NVR/HDD media, record serials, and maintain chain-of-custody for audit needs.
- Compliance-minded workflow: Aligned with Australian electrical/low-voltage best practice; site risk assessment (JSA), signage, and public-area safety.
- Discreet, low-impact delivery: After-hours options, dust control and cleanup, and coordination with other trades to minimise downtime.
- Clear handover: Photo log of removed devices/locations, notes on any live circuits, and recommendations for upgrades or future-proof cabling.
DIY removals risk damaged walls, tripped circuits, or lost footage. A planned, standards-based approach is essential for a clean, compliant result.

Security System Removal — Pricing
Final cost depends on how many devices need to be removed and whether the job is residential or commercial.
What affects the price
Number of devices, mounting method, cabling complexity, and whether you want cables removed or neatly capped.
Residential vs commercial
Commercial sites may require out-of-hours access, higher device counts, and extra compliance or access coordination.
Typical devices we remove
Alarm panels, sirens, PIR sensors, keypads, cameras/NVRs, intercom units, routers/switches, access control readers.
Options

🏠 Residential Security System Removal
For Melbourne homeowners, Sipko Security offers customised solutions for removing security alarms and cameras in private residences. We protect the aesthetics and integrity of your home while our technicians dismantle alarms, cameras, and wiring with minimal disruption. From a single camera to a full system, we remove equipment and cabling without traces—returning your home to its original condition with a clean, professional finish.
Homeowner-focused practices we follow:
-
Surface protection & neat make-good: Drop sheets, dust control, careful cable extraction, and patching of small penetrations—paint-ready on request.
-
Safe power isolation: Confirmed at the source and verified with a multimeter before decommissioning panels, sirens, keypads, and PoE/CCTV devices.
-
Concealed-wiring care: Trim or remove legacy cables, cap conduits, and restore wall/ceiling lines without visible traces.
-
Quiet, low-impact workflow: Scheduling to suit your household, including after-hours options to minimise disruption.
-
Clear handover: Photo notes of removed devices/locations and simple guidance if you plan to upgrade later.
DIY removals can leave holes, live cabling, or damaged plaster. A planned, standards-based approach is essential for a clean, safe result.
🛠️ Comprehensive Wiring and Equipment Removal
No loose ends. No visual clutter.
Sipko Security goes beyond equipment take-down. We include the complete extraction of cables and wiring tied to alarms and cameras so the space looks finished—not just “emptied”.
Leftover wiring is unsightly and unsafe. Our technicians trace, label, and isolate runs at their source, then remove them end-to-end to leave walls, ceilings, and floors free of clutter. Small penetrations can be patched and made paint-ready on request.
For homes and workplaces alike, our documented, standards-based workflow ensures no remnants of the old system remain and your site is ready for renovation or upgrade.
What we remove
- Alarm cabling (keypads, sirens, PIRs, panels)
- CCTV/PoE runs, baluns, junctions, patch tails
- Legacy conduits and exposed surface trunking
How we do it
- Power isolation verified at the source
- Cable tracing & section-by-section extraction
- Neat make-good of small penetrations
Why it matters
- Cleaner finishes and safer interiors
- No hidden live or abandoned wiring
- Ready for refurbishments or new installs
Need after-hours or staged works? We can schedule around business hours or family routines.
Remove & replace old wired alarms / CCTV
Many Melbourne properties still rely on tired wired alarms and early-generation CCTV. Instead of patching old hardware, Sipko Security can remove the legacy system and commission a new solution in a single, coordinated project—so you are not left without protection between trades.
When a “remove & replace” project makes sense
- You are renovating and want a fresh, discreet security layout.
- The existing panel, keypads or cameras are unreliable or out of support.
- You are preparing a sale or end-of-lease handover and need a neat result.
- You want to move from basic alarms to smart app-based protection.
How we handle the changeover
- Survey the current system, label devices and map cable routes.
- Shut the system down at the source and confirm circuits are safe.
- Carefully remove panels, keypads, sirens and cameras, then tidy surfaces.
- Install and program the new alarm and/or CCTV system around your floor plan.
- Test every zone and provide a simple handover so you are confident using it.
Upgrade to AJAX wireless alarm
Removing an old wired alarm is the perfect moment to move to a modern wireless system. Sipko Security designs and installs AJAX smart alarms that cover your home with app-controlled, low-profile detectors—without chasing walls or filling the house with new conduit.
Benefits for Melbourne homes
- Minimal patching and surface work compared with traditional wired systems.
- Flexible placement of detectors, sirens and keypads as your layout changes.
- Instant push alerts to your phone when doors, windows or motion sensors trigger.
- Ideal for apartments, townhouses and rentals where cabling options are limited.
What a typical AJAX upgrade includes
- System design around your rooms, entry points and pets.
- AJAX hub, indoor detectors, door/window contacts and internal keypad.
- External siren and optional outdoor motion detectors for yards and driveways.
- App setup, user profiles and a clear walk-through of day-to-day operation.
🏢 Commercial Security System Removal
Melbourne businesses—from small shops to warehouses—rely on Sipko Security for expert commercial security system removal. We serve offices, retail, hospitality, and industrial sites with safe, efficient de-installs that protect operations. Our team handles complex multi-device setups, removing cameras, alarms, access devices and cabling without impacting security or continuity. We manage inductions and permits, provide SWMS/JSA, and coordinate with building management to minimise downtime while keeping premises functional and presentable.
Commercial removal essentials:
- Business-continuity planning: After-hours or staged works, method statements, and sequencing around trading, docks, or production windows.
- Safe power & network isolation: Verified shutdown of alarm loops, PoE, patch panels, and UPS circuits to avoid faults or outages.
- Complex systems expertise: De-install CCTV, alarms, intercoms, access control, and sensors across multi-floor or multi-site portfolios.
- Cabling removal & make-good: Remove/trim legacy cabling, cap conduits, depopulate racks, and patch small penetrations for a clean finish.
- Data & evidence handling: Chain-of-custody for NVR/HDD media, optional secure wipe/handover, and serial-number logs.
- End-of-lease compliance: Clarify base-building vs tenant fixtures; photo logs and handover notes for make-good.
- Site safety & presentation: Inductions, signage, dust control, and housekeeping so trading areas stay safe and customer-ready.
Ad-hoc removals risk outages, wall damage, and non-compliant make-good. A planned, standards-based approach keeps your business running and your property presentable.
Upgrade CCTV system (Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink)
Old cameras, noisy recorders and forgotten passwords make CCTV hard to trust. When we remove your legacy system, Sipko Security can also upgrade you to a modern solution built on Hikvision, Dahua or Reolink hardware—often re-using existing cabling where it is safe and practical to do so.
- Gain sharper images that actually help in investigations and insurance claims.
- Consolidate messy legacy cabling into a clean, well-labelled rack or cupboard.
- Restore secure access to your recorder and remote viewing without guesswork.
