Call to bookWhy people put in cameras and security lighting
Most calls come after something happens nearby, or after a camera setup that never worked properly.
-
Parcels going missing
Porch theft starts most first systems. A camera at face height by the door catches more than the top of a cap.
-
Cars in the driveway
To read a number plate in the driveway, a camera needs the right angle and distance, plus light at night.
-
Side gates and back doors
Nobody can see them from the street, which is why they get used. Pair the camera with a sensor light.
-
Wi-Fi cameras dropping out
Battery and Wi-Fi cameras struggle through brick. The usual complaints are flat batteries and gaps in the footage.
-
An old system nobody can log into
The previous owner left analogue cameras with no password or app. Their cable routes can sometimes carry new network cable.
-
Entries that are dark at night
Most cameras are close to useless on an unlit side path. Sensor lighting improves the footage and puts people off by itself.

Security and camera setups we install
Most systems combine a few of these, and we plan what each camera must see before choosing hardware.
Wired PoE camera systems
Each camera gets one hidden network cable for power and video, so you never charge batteries or chase Wi-Fi dropouts.
Recorder and phone viewing
Footage stays on a hard drive in the house. We set up the app for live view and playback on your phone.
Video doorbells
Talk to whoever is at the door from your phone. Wired doorbells never go flat, and some record to the camera recorder.
Sensor and security lighting
Motion sensor floodlights for the driveway and back door. We aim them at your path, not the neighbour's bedroom.
Camera cabling and upgrades
Network cable to each camera spot, or old analogue coax swapped out, so you can upgrade cameras later without opening walls again.
How we install a CCTV system
We decide what each camera is for before we drill a single hole.
-
Walk the property with you
Together we walk the property and agree what each camera must capture, like a face at the door or a car in the driveway.
-
Plan coverage and privacy
Cameras point at your property, not into neighbours' windows. Most recorders can black out part of the street or next door left in frame.
-
Run the cabling
Cable goes through the roof to the recorder, usually near the modem. Outside runs sit in sealed conduit so water cannot track into walls.
-
Mount and aim the cameras
Under the eaves, cameras stay dry and hard to reach. We check day and infrared night images, then shift any that pick up glare.
-
Set up recording and the app
We set motion zones and recording times and change all default passwords. Then we install the app and show you how to save clips.
-
Test and hand over
Each camera gets checked on the recorder and your phone. Any new power for lights or the recorder is tested before we pack up.

What happens when you call us about security and CCTV installs

-
A person answers the phone
Day or night. Tell us what is happening. If it sounds dangerous, we tell you what to switch off while we get moving.
-
We book a time that works
Urgent faults go to the next available electrician. Planned work gets a set day so you are not waiting around.
-
A licensed electrician comes out and looks
We work out what is actually wrong on site rather than guessing over the phone. The visit costs you nothing.
-
You get one fixed price
Written down and explained before anyone starts. Nothing happens until you say yes.
-
The work gets done properly
Done to the Wiring Rules with the right parts. Dust sheets go down wherever we are working.
-
We test it and show you
Every circuit we touch is tested before we leave. Where the law requires a compliance certificate, you get one.
-
You pay the price you agreed
The quote is the invoice. Our labour stays guaranteed for as long as you own the property.

Signs it is time for cameras or a security upgrade
You do not need a break-in to justify cameras, and these are the usual triggers.
-
My Wi-Fi cameras keep going offline
Signal or battery trouble, which a wired camera in the same spot usually fixes.
-
Footage too blurry to tell who it is
Usually the angle, distance or resolution. Moving the camera sometimes solves it without new hardware.
-
Night footage is just white glare
Infrared is bouncing off a nearby wall, eave or gutter, so the camera needs moving.
-
Nobody knows the password to the old system
The recorder usually needs a reset or replacing before it is any use.
-
The recorder stopped recording
Often a dead or full hard drive, and people only notice when they need footage.
-
Cars and parcels going missing in your street
A run of thefts nearby is what prompts most first systems.
-
Side path or back door dark at night
Cameras see little there without light, and a sensor light sorts out both.
-
Sensor light stuck on or never comes on
Usually a failed sensor or bad aiming. A light that never goes off deters nobody.
None of these is an emergency. If a few sound familiar, a free look shows what is worth fixing.

CCTV and security for homes and businesses
Homes need to see who comes and goes, and businesses also have workplace camera law to follow.
Houses, townhouses and rentals
A camera per entry, one on the driveway and a doorbell covers most homes. In strata, we keep cameras on your lot, since common property needs owners corporation approval.
- Driveway and entry cameras
- Video doorbells
- Side path sensor lights
Shops, offices and warehouses
Businesses usually want the counter, stock and back door covered, with footage kept long enough to matter. The recorder can sit in the same rack as your data cabling.
- Counter and stock rooms
- Rear and loading doors
- Recorder in your rack

Finding an electrician in Sydney who turns up
The hardest part of getting electrical work done in Sydney is not the work. It is finding someone who shows up when they said they would, tells you the price before they start, and does not leave you chasing them for a certificate afterwards.
We cover Sydney along with Sydenham, Sydney, Sydney Olympic Park and the rest of Sydney. You get a fixed price up front, there is no call out fee, and our labour carries a lifetime guarantee.
What makes Sydney different to work in
Sydney has the mix you find across a lot of Sydney: older homes still running the board they were built with, sitting next to places that have been renovated two or three times. Both throw up their own problems, and both are jobs we do every week.
Older wiring around Sydney was never designed for the load a modern kitchen puts on it. Add an induction cooktop or a second fridge and the weak point shows up quickly.
What usually causes it around Sydney
Age is the biggest single factor. Wiring installed decades ago was sized for a very different household, and insulation on older cable gets brittle and cracks, particularly in roof spaces that heat up through summer.
Rodents are a genuine cause and an unglamorous one. Possums and rats in the roof chew cable insulation, and the fault that follows can be intermittent and hard to trace.
What home security & cctv costs in Sydney
The real answer is that it depends on the condition of what is already there. That is not a dodge, it is why we come and look before quoting rather than pricing blind over the phone.
What we can promise is the shape of it. We come out and look for nothing, we work out what the job actually needs, and we give you one fixed number for the whole thing. If we find something unexpected once we are into it, we stop and talk to you rather than adding it to the bill. The number you agreed is the number on the invoice.
How we work compared to an hourly rate
An hourly rate puts the risk on you. Every delay, every trip back to the van, every part that turns out to be the wrong one lands on your invoice. That is the opposite of what most people in Sydney actually want, which is to know the number before they say yes.
We price the job, not the time. That means we carry the risk of it taking longer, which is a good incentive for us to turn up prepared. It also means you can say yes or no with the full number in front of you.
What you can safely do yourself
Almost nothing, and that is not us protecting our own work. In New South Wales it is against the law for an unlicensed person to do fixed electrical wiring, and the insurance consequences of a fire traced back to unlicensed work are severe. Replacing a plug top on an appliance or changing a lamp is fine. Anything behind the wall or inside the board is not.
The most helpful thing you can do is pay attention to the pattern. Does it trip only when the dryer runs? Only when it rains? Only in one room? That detail often points straight at the fault and saves a lot of hunting.
Renting in Sydney, or managing a building?
If you rent, electrical repairs to the property itself are the owner's responsibility, and urgent electrical faults fall under urgent repairs in New South Wales. Talk to your agent first. If it is genuinely dangerous, say so clearly, because that changes how quickly it has to be dealt with.
If you manage a strata block around Sydney, we can work on common property and bill the body corporate directly, and we can keep the same electrician on your building so nobody is relearning the site every visit.
Questions about security and CCTV installs
The ones we get asked most. If yours is not here, ring and ask.
Wired, for anything you rely on. PoE cameras get power and data down one cable, so there are no batteries or Wi-Fi dropouts. Wi-Fi and battery cameras go up faster but struggle through brick and at the edge of the Wi-Fi range.
Aim cameras at your own property. Under the NSW Surveillance Devices Act 2007 it is an offence to install a camera on someone else's property without consent, and recording a neighbour's private areas can bring a nuisance or harassment complaint. We angle cameras away from their yards and windows and mask anything unavoidable.
Many can, but NSW law restricts recording private conversations you are not part of, and treats that separately from video. If a camera covers a shared path or the street, it is usually safer to leave audio off, and ask a lawyer if you are unsure.
Yes. In NSW, installing CCTV for a customer needs a security licence under the Security Industry Act 1997, separate from an electrical licence, and the fixed network cabling must be done by a registered cabler. Ask any installer for their licence numbers.
It depends on drive size, camera count, resolution and whether cameras record constantly or only on motion. Once the drive fills, the oldest footage is recorded over. We size the drive to how far back you want to look.
The number of cameras and how hard the cable runs are, plus roof access, recorder and drive size, and extras like doorbells or sensor lights. Single storey homes with good roof access are simplest, and you get one fixed price after we walk the property.
Inside your own lot, generally yes. Cameras on common property, like the exterior, foyer or car park, need owners corporation approval, and many buildings have by-laws on it. Check with your strata manager first and we will work to what is approved.
Yes. The NSW Workplace Surveillance Act 2005 requires written notice to employees at least 14 days before camera surveillance starts, plus clearly visible cameras and signs at each entrance. Sort the notice out before the cameras go live.
