Residential CCTV installation for Brisbane homes
Security-licensed Brisbane technicians design and install hardwired home camera systems built for the local climate: storm-rated housings, surge protection and reliable local recording with smart motion alerts and remote viewing on your phone. Tidy cabling and a clean handover.
Keep an eye on your home, wherever you are in Brisbane
An open under-house area on a high-set New Farm Queenslander, a side gate down the slope of a Paddington block, tools going missing from a Kenmore garage, a parcel lifted from a Chermside porch. These are everyday Brisbane homeowner concerns that a battery doorbell or a single WiFi camera will not reliably cover.
We design camera layouts around your property's actual entry points, blind spots and lighting, then install a hardwired PoE system with local recording and secure remote access. Brisbane homes throw their own challenges at us: timber Queenslanders with no brick cavity to run cable through, under-house areas that double as parking and storage, leafy western suburbs where foliage blocks sightlines, and a subtropical storm season that punishes cheap gear. Our installers plan for the heat, humidity and summer hail, and fit surge protection and weather-rated housings as standard, not as an afterthought.

What you get with a professionally installed home system
Hardwired reliability
PoE cameras powered and connected over a single cable. No batteries to replace, no WiFi dropouts.
Remote viewing
Check live and recorded footage from your phone, whether you're at work, up the coast or away for the weekend.
Smart motion alerts
Notifications triggered by people or vehicles in the zones you care about, not every passing possum or fruit bat.
Built for the climate
Weather-rated housings and surge protection so cameras keep working through Brisbane's summer storms and humidity.
A home CCTV system that suits a Brisbane property
Cabling that works with Queenslanders and brick homes alike
A high-set timber Queenslander gives us no brick cavity to hide cable in, while a lowset brick-and-tile home in the suburbs hides cabling easily through the roof space. We plan cable paths for the home you actually have: under-floor and bearer runs for elevated homes, neat roof-space runs for brick, and conduit where a run has to be exposed so nothing is stapled across a VJ wall or a timber soffit.
Under-house coverage
Cameras positioned to cover the under-house parking, storage and stairs that are a common entry point on high-set homes.
Recorder mounted high and dry
On flood-aware blocks near the river or a creek, we mount the recorder up high, away from areas that have taken water before.
Alerts tuned to your street, not the local wildlife
Brisbane backyards throw plenty of false-trigger fodder at a home camera: possums and fruit bats at night, a neighbour's cat through the garden, delivery vans on a busy bayside street, foliage moving in an afternoon storm. We set detection zones and person and vehicle filters during commissioning so the only alerts you get are the ones worth a look.
Zone-based detection
Mark the front path, driveway, under-house and back gate as active; mask the footpath, the neighbour's yard and the street.
Person and vehicle filtering
Cut nuisance triggers from possums, cats, shadows and swaying foliage so notifications actually mean something.
Privacy-aware placement for neighbours and body corporate
Queensland homeowners and townhouse owners alike want cameras that cover their own property, not the neighbours'. We position cameras to cover your land only, apply privacy masking to any frame that incidentally catches a neighbour's window or the public footpath, and for units and townhouses we document placement so a body corporate query has a clear, ready answer.
Boundary-aware placement
Camera angles documented during install with privacy zones over neighbouring yards, balconies and shared driveways.
Local recording, no forced cloud
Footage stored on a recorder in your home, not on a vendor cloud subscription you have to keep paying for.

How a Brisbane home system is sized
We scope around your property type, not a fixed camera count. These are the Brisbane homes we install most.
Indicative coverage by property type. Final camera count and placement depend on your block, entry points and how you want the system to behave.
| Property type | Typical coverage | Storage / retention | Brisbane notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| High-set Queenslander | Front entry, the under-house parking and storage, the stairs, rear yard and side access | Around 4 TB, 30 to 45 days | Under-house coverage is the key difference from a lowset home; cabling runs under-floor and along bearers, not through a brick cavity |
| Lowset brick family home | All entries, garage, backyard, side gates and the letterbox approach | Around 4 TB, 30 to 45 days | The most common Brisbane install; cable runs sit neatly through the roof space |
| Unit or townhouse (body corporate) | Your lot entry, courtyard or balcony, and your garage or parking space | 2 to 4 TB, around 30 days | Anything covering common property usually needs body-corporate sign-off; we supply the placement documentation for the committee |
| Acreage or large block (western suburbs, city fringe) | Full perimeter, the long driveway approach, shed or granny flat, and pool area | 6 to 8 TB, 30 to 60 days | More cameras and longer runs through leafy blocks; expandable as the property grows |
Shown by property type, not a fixed package; we right-size the camera count on the free site assessment.
Retention is approximate and depends on resolution, frame rate and motion-only recording settings.
