How quickly can an electrician get to Double Bay?

Most callouts in Double Bay are reached within 30–90 minutes, and often faster during business hours. When you call we give you a live arrival window based on where our nearest Double Bay van is.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical service in Double Bay?

Yes - genuine 24/7 in Double Bay. Nights, weekends and public holidays, the phone is answered by a real person and a licensed electrician is dispatched straight to you.

Are your Double Bay electricians fully licensed and insured?

Every Empire electrician working in Double Bay is fully licensed in NSW and covered by public liability insurance. Licence details are provided on request and every job comes with a lifetime workmanship warranty.

Which areas around Double Bay do you cover?

We cover Double Bay, all of Eastern Suburbs, and neighbouring suburbs including Point Piper, Vaucluse, Watsons Bay, Rose Bay. If you're near Double Bay, we can almost always help - just call 0468 404 608 and we'll confirm on the spot.

How many cameras do I need?

Most homes are well covered by 4-6 cameras: front door, driveway, side access, backyard, and (optionally) an internal downstairs zone. Larger properties or businesses usually run 8-16.

How much does a CCTV install cost in Double Bay?

A neatly installed 4-camera 4K IP system with NVR and app viewing starts around $2,200. 8-camera systems from $3,400. Commercial systems with access control or ANPR are quoted per site.

Can I view the cameras on my phone?

Yes — every install includes mobile app setup on your phone, with push notifications on motion, live viewing and playback from anywhere.

How long does the footage stay?

Standard configuration keeps 30-60 days of continuous recording locally on the NVR hard drive. Optional cloud backup preserves motion clips longer for critical events.

IP or analogue — what should I install?

IP over PoE, every time. It's higher resolution, uses one cable per camera, is easier to expand, and integrates with doorbells and access control. Analogue is legacy tech we only recommend when reusing existing coax on a budget.

Can you upgrade my existing analogue system?

Yes — either full replacement to IP/PoE, or a hybrid recorder that keeps your existing coax for some cameras while adding IP cameras where you need higher resolution.

Are you a registered cabler?

Yes — registered ACMA cabler, which is legally required in Australia for any CCTV/data cabling work.

CCTV · DOUBLE BAY

CCTV & Security Systems in Double Bay — 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

STEP 1
Site design
We walk the property, mark camera positions, angles and cable runs, and quote a fixed price for the full system.
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.
STEP 3
Camera install and aim
Cameras mounted, aimed for optimal coverage, and set for correct night-vision and motion-detection zones.
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.

5 STAR RATING

Sydney customers, real reviews

Sarah M.

Called at 11pm with a tripping switchboard. Electrician arrived within the hour, found the fault and had us back on safely. Honest and professional.

James P.

Burning smell from a powerpoint - they took it seriously, came straight out, replaced the circuit and explained everything. Fair fixed price, no upsell.

Priya K.

Lost half the house mid-storm. Empire were the only company that actually answered. Quoted upfront, fixed in one visit. Highly recommend.

Daniel R.

Safety switch kept tripping for weeks. Other sparkies just reset it. Empire actually found the faulty appliance and the dodgy wiring behind it.

Megan T.

Burst pipe took out our power. Empire arrived super fast, made it safe and stayed until everything was running again. Lifesavers.

Chris H.

Old switchboard was sparking. They replaced it the same day, all licensed and certified. Cleanest install I've seen.

Olivia W.

Power out the entire upstairs at 9pm with a newborn at home. Empire answered, dispatched and fixed it within two hours. So grateful.

Mark D.

Got three quotes for a switchboard upgrade. Empire weren't the cheapest but they were the clearest. Best decision - immaculate workmanship.

Jess L.

Storm tripped half the unit block. Empire turned up Sunday morning, no extra weekend gouge. Just sorted it. Strata are using them from now on.

Tony B.

Called five sparkies before Empire actually picked up. They explained the issue in plain English and gave a fixed price before touching anything.
