CCTV · BALMAIN EAST

CCTV & Security Systems in Balmain East — done properly, first visit

A properly designed CCTV system is a burglary deterrent, an evidence tool, and a way to check on the property from anywhere. We design and install IP CCTV — 4K cameras over PoE cabling to a hard-wired NVR — not battery Wi-Fi cameras that drop out when you need them most. Every install includes on-site local recording (30-60 days), mobile app viewing, and optional cloud backup for critical footage.

Camera choice matters more than resolution. We spec turret or dome cameras for the front and back of the property, a wide-angle bullet for the driveway, and a low-light colour camera for the darkest approach — with true IR (not just "night mode" that greys out at 5m). Doorbells, intercoms and access-control cameras integrate with the same NVR so you have one app for everything.

As registered ACMA cablers we run the CAT6 neatly through the roof space and down internal walls, with the NVR in a cupboard, garage or comms cabinet — no exposed cable, no daisy-chained power supplies, no ugly rooftop conduit. Full walk-through on the app included on hand-over.

HOW THE JOB RUNS

Every cctv job, same 4 steps

  1. STEP 1

    Site design

    We walk the property, mark camera positions, angles and cable runs, and quote a fixed price for the full system.

  2. STEP 2

    PoE cabling

    CAT6 pulled neatly through the roof space and internal walls, terminated to a PoE switch or PoE NVR in the location of your choice.

  3. STEP 3

    Camera install and aim

    Cameras mounted, aimed for optimal coverage, and set for correct night-vision and motion-detection zones.

  4. STEP 4

    Configure and hand over

    NVR configured, mobile app installed and tested on your phone, recording schedule set, and a walk-through so you know exactly how to use it.
