PoE cameras,
local recording.

A camera tells you what happened after it happened. That matters, but a house that only records is a house that has already been entered. The layers that come before recording are the ones that stop the event, and they are usually cheaper than the ones that document it.

So we design the chain, not the camera. Lighting that responds when somebody lingers at the side gate. A door that locks itself when the house arms. A property that looks occupied while you are away.

Access is the half of security that gets forgotten. Smart locks and keyless entry let you give the cleaner a code that only works on Thursdays, let a family member in remotely without leaving a key under a pot, and record who came and went without anyone having to ask.

Existing alarm panels, sensors and locks can usually be brought into the system rather than replaced, which is considerably cheaper than starting from nothing. We confirm what is reusable at the audit, before you spend anything.

Cabling and mounting are done by our team, and a licensed electrician handles anything that touches mains. Cable routes and camera angles are agreed at the audit and written down, so nobody is holding a drill and improvising on the day.

When we leave, the recorder, the cameras and the footage are yours outright. You get full administrator access to the system, and there is no licence, subscription or account of ours standing between you and your own front door.

If you are still working out what you need, our guide to security camera installation in Melbourne covers the decisions in detail: where footage should live, how the detection tells a person from an animal, why wired beats battery, and how to choose between the two systems we install.
