UNV SECURITY CAMERA INSTALLATION MELBOURNE

Uniview Security Camera Installation
in Melbourne for Homes & Businesses

SIPKO Security designs and installs Uniview security camera systems in Melbourne — planning each system around what actually needs to be seen, how large the installation needs to be, and where individual scenes benefit from Uniview’s specific camera technologies.

A Uniview system is planned as one system, not a collection of separate cameras. The views that need coverage determine the camera type and positioning; the size of the installation, recording requirements and room for future expansion determine the recorder, storage and network design; and Uniview technologies such as LightHunter, ColorHunter and Tri-Guard are then selected only where a particular scene actually benefits from them.

Uniview’s Range, Planned Around Your Property

Uniview’s range covers a wide span of camera types and recorder capacities — the catalogue below reflects that range. The right starting point isn’t picked from the catalogue first; it follows from what the property actually needs to see, how the system needs to be sized, and where a specific Uniview technology genuinely helps a particular scene.

Planning a Uniview System Around the Property

A Uniview installation is planned in three parts, in this order.

What Needs to Be Seen

Entrances, driveways, gates, shopfronts, yards and other priority areas each have their own requirements — viewing distance, angle and lighting determine the camera type and lens, not the other way around.

How Large the System Needs to Be

Camera count, recorder channel capacity, PoE/network capacity and storage are sized to the confirmed system — including realistic room for cameras added later, rather than designed only for what’s needed on day one.

Where Technology Helps a Scene

Once the views and the system size are confirmed, individual cameras are matched to Uniview’s specific low-light or detection technologies where a scene genuinely calls for them.

Choosing Uniview Technology for Each Scene

Uniview offers more than one approach to low-light imaging and detection, and they aren’t the same technology under different names.

LightHunter

Designed to improve image usability in low ambient light through the camera’s optical and imaging design. On supported models, it can provide usable low-light imaging without the visible supplemental lighting used by ColorHunter. Exact performance depends on the camera model and available light.

ColorHunter

Designed for colour imaging in very low light, with supported models using supplemental warm light where required. Exact low-light performance and lighting behaviour depend on the camera model. It can suit scenes where retaining colour information after dark — such as clothing or vehicle colour — is important.

Tri-Guard

Combines detection (classifying human and vehicle movement to help reduce irrelevant alerts), ColorHunter colour imaging, and an active light-and-audio deterrent response in one camera. Available deterrence modes and imaging behaviour depend on the specific model. Suits locations where a visible response to an event matters — a gate, a rear access point, a commercial perimeter.

Available detection, low-light and deterrence functions depend on the specific camera and, where relevant, the recorder it’s paired with.

Recording, Storage & Remote Access

Recording & Storage

Recording capacity follows from the confirmed system — camera count, resolution, recording mode and how long footage needs to stay recoverable all affect the NVR and storage required. There’s no fixed retention period that applies to every property.

Remote Access

Uniview’s mobile apps provide live view, playback, notifications and device sharing on supported configurations. SIPKO confirms which app and access setup fits the system during commissioning, and configures the required user access at handover.

Already Have a Uniview System?

Existing Uniview cameras and recorders are checked for model, firmware and capacity before deciding what can be kept and what needs replacing. Some equipment can be retained and extended; some can’t, depending on age, condition, and what the new part of the system needs to do. This is assessed on site — not assumed either way in advance.

Cameras: model and condition checked before assuming compatibility with new equipment.
Recorder: channel capacity, storage and firmware checked against what’s being added.
Network and PoE: existing cabling and switch capacity reviewed before new cameras are added.
Supported features: available detection, low-light and remote-access functions depend on the exact camera and recorder combination already in place.

Homes, Businesses & Larger Sites

Homes & Townhouses

Front entry, driveway, garage, side access and backyard are common priorities, with the camera and low-light approach matched to what’s actually needed at each point.

Retail & Offices

Entrances, reception, customer areas, staff doors and storage areas can be planned around incident review and controlled access.

Warehouses & Larger Sites

Larger sites can involve more entry points, longer sightlines and a mix of fixed cameras with PTZ where wider or controllable coverage is useful. Recorder, network and storage capacity are sized around the confirmed camera layout, with expansion allowance included where it is actually needed.

Installation Process

1) Site Survey

Reviewing the required views, lighting, mounting positions, recorder location and cable routes.

2) System Design & Quotation

Camera types, lenses, recorder capacity and storage matched to the confirmed requirements, with future expansion considered where relevant.

3) Cabling & Network Setup

PoE cabling and network capacity installed to support the confirmed system.

4) NVR & Recording Configuration

Recording schedules, storage and camera streams configured and checked.

5) Scene-Specific Configuration

Detection zones and, where fitted, low-light or deterrence features adjusted for each camera’s actual scene.

6) Testing, App Setup & Handover

Live view, playback and remote access tested and demonstrated before the job is signed off.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Uniview cameras do I need for my property?
The right number depends on the entrances, driveway, side access and other locations that actually need coverage — confirmed during the site assessment rather than assumed from property type.
What’s the difference between LightHunter and ColorHunter cameras?
LightHunter is designed to improve image usability in low ambient light through the camera’s optical and imaging design, without the visible supplemental lighting used by ColorHunter. ColorHunter is designed for colour imaging in very low light, with supported models using supplemental warm light where required. The right choice depends on the scene, the camera model and whether colour detail after dark matters more than a discreet installation.
What does a Tri-Guard camera actually do?
Tri-Guard combines human/vehicle detection, ColorHunter colour imaging and an active light-and-audio deterrent response in one camera. Available deterrence modes depend on the specific model — it’s suited to locations where a visible response to an event matters, such as a gate or rear access point.
Can Uniview cameras help reduce irrelevant motion alerts?
Supported Uniview cameras and recorders can use human and vehicle classification to help prioritise relevant events and reduce unnecessary motion alerts. This doesn’t eliminate false events entirely, and available detection functions depend on the camera and recorder combination.
How long can Uniview NVR footage be stored?
Retention depends on camera count, resolution, bitrate, recording schedule and storage capacity. If a specific retention period is required, storage can be calculated around that requirement.
Can I view Uniview cameras on my phone?
Supported Uniview configurations can provide remote viewing through the appropriate app. SIPKO confirms the required app and access setup and configures it during commissioning.
Can I add more cameras to my system later?
Additional cameras can be added where the recorder has spare channels and the network, PoE and storage capacity can support them. Expansion requirements can also be considered when the original system is designed.
Can existing Uniview equipment be reused if I’m upgrading?
Existing cameras and recorders are checked for model, firmware and capacity before deciding what can be kept. This is assessed on site rather than assumed.
What information do you need for a Uniview CCTV quote?
The most useful starting information is the suburb, property type, areas that need coverage, and any specific need such as low-light colour footage or active deterrence at a particular point.
