/ 02 — Frequently asked

Security & CCTV — answered. Questions we hear most.

What kind of CCTV system do you install?

We install network-grade IP CCTV systems sized to the property — typically four to sixteen cameras for residential or small commercial, more for larger sites. Cameras are 4K or 4MP, recorded to a local NVR with off-site backup option, and accessible via mobile app. We hide all the cabling cleanly through the roof and walls.

Can you do alarm systems and access control too?

Yes — we install alarm systems with monitored or self-monitored options, smart-home compatible, and full access-control fit-outs (key fobs, keypads, intercoms, electric strikes). Everything is commissioned in front of you so you understand exactly how to use the system before we leave.

Will my system work with my phone?

Yes. Modern alarm and CCTV systems we install are smart-home compatible — view live feeds, arm and disarm from your phone, set time-of-day rules, and get push notifications for events. We set this up and walk you through it during commissioning.

How long does a typical CCTV install take?

Residential systems (4–8 cameras): usually one day on site for a single-storey, two days for a double-storey or larger. Commercial sites are quoted individually after a site visit. Most of the work is cabling, mounting and commissioning — same-day power-up is standard.

Do you handle ongoing maintenance for security systems?

Yes — we maintain the systems we install. Annual service includes camera cleaning, recording verification, firmware updates, and backup confirmation. We also handle add-ons (extra cameras, replacement parts, monitoring upgrades) on request.

Are you licensed for security installations in Queensland?

Yes — we hold the Electrical Contractors Licence required for installation of CCTV, alarm and access-control wiring. Surveillance-system installation is performed under that licence, with all work tested and certified to current standards.
