Our Advanced CCTV Technology & Equipment

Pick the camera shape to match your layout: it affects night clarity, deterrence, and how well footage holds up as evidence.

Indoor / Outdoor Lighting / Night Deterrence Fixed vs PTZ Smart alerts

Turret

  • Use: entrances, eaves, general coverage.
  • Trade-off: less tamper-proof than dome in reach.

Bullet

  • Use: long views (driveways, side paths).
  • Trade-off: more visible; watch glare angles.

Dome

  • Use: indoor/public areas, tamper resistance.
  • Trade-off: reflections possible through glass.

PTZ

  • Use: large areas, live monitoring + zoom.
  • Trade-off: can’t watch all directions at once.
Type Where / best for Drawback
Turret Entrances, eaves, mixed lighting; strong all-round detail. Less protected in public-facing reach.
Bullet Driveways/laneways; better distance and deterrence. More noticeable; angle matters for glare.
Dome Indoors, shops/lobbies/corridors; tamper-resistant look. IR/glass reflections can reduce night clarity.
PTZ Warehouses, yards, car parks; tracking + zoom. Not continuous in all directions; pair with fixed cams.
Most sites use fixed cameras for continuous coverage; add PTZ only where active monitoring is needed.

What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What’s included in a standard CCTV installation? +
A full installation includes camera placement design, cabling, recorder setup (NVR/DVR or hybrid), remote viewing configuration, testing, and training. We ensure you can view and export footage easily.
2. How long does CCTV installation take in Melbourne homes? +
Most home installs take around 4–8 hours. Complex multi-storey or business systems can take 1–2 days depending on cable runs and camera count.
3. How much does CCTV installation cost in Melbourne? +
Prices start around $1400 for small 2–3 camera packages and scale up to $3,000–$7,000 for high-end multi-camera systems with analytics and large storage.
4. Can I install CCTV myself or do I need a licensed installer? +
Wireless kits can be DIY, but wired installations require security license . Using a certified installer ensures safety, compliance, and system reliability.
5. How long will my CCTV footage be stored before it’s overwritten? +
Footage retention depends on camera resolution, number of channels, and HDD size. Typical storage spans 2–6 weeks before automatic overwriting.
6. Can I view my CCTV remotely on my phone or laptop? +
Yes. We set up secure mobile access through apps such as DMSS or Ring App so you can view live feeds, playback events, and receive notifications anywhere.
7. Are CCTV cameras weatherproof and vandal-resistant? +
Outdoor CCTV cameras are rated IP66/IP67 for rain and dust protection, and many use IK10 vandal-resistant housings. Ideal for Melbourne’s changing weather.
8. What’s the difference between wired and wireless CCTV systems? +
Wired (PoE) systems are more reliable for 24/7 recording. Wireless systems are easy to install but can experience Wi-Fi dropouts. We recommend the best fit for your property.

Yes — modern cameras use Starlight and IR LEDs for colour night vision. We plan placement and angles to improve visibility and reduce glare for clear identification.

Often yes. If your existing cables and recorder are in good condition and compatible, we can integrate them into your new system and save on installation costs.
11. What about privacy laws for CCTV in Melbourne? +
