FAQ's

CCTV installation in Melbourne typically ranges from around $890 to $3,000+, depending on the number of cameras, resolution, and property complexity. A standard 4-camera system for a family home usually costs between $1,400 and $2,200 fully installed, including cabling, an NVR/DVR, setup and mobile-app configuration. Higher-resolution 6MP–8MP cameras, larger multi-storey homes, or double-brick construction increase the price. At Auztech Security, we provide a free on-site assessment and a fixed, no-obligation quote so there are no surprises. Our packages span Dahua, HiLook and Uniview systems to suit different budgets across Melbourne’s western suburbs and beyond.

Most Melbourne homes are well covered by 4 cameras: one at the front entrance, one over the driveway or garage, one covering the rear yard, and one on a side access point. Larger or multi-storey homes, corner blocks, or properties with multiple entry points often benefit from 6–8 cameras. The right number depends on your property’s layout, blind spots and the areas you most want to monitor. Auztech Security’s technicians assess sightlines, entry points and lighting on-site, then recommend a camera count and placement plan that eliminates blind spots without paying for coverage you don’t need.

The MP (megapixel) rating describes a camera’s resolution and how much detail it captures. 4MP cameras offer sharp, reliable footage suitable for most residential jobs and are the most cost-effective. 6MP cameras give extra clarity for larger areas and better digital zoom. 8MP (4K) cameras produce the highest detail, letting you read number plates or identify faces at greater distances, making them ideal for business premises and wide driveways. Higher resolution needs more storage and stronger night performance. Auztech Security matches resolution to each zone, often mixing 8MP cameras at key entry points with 4MP cameras elsewhere to balance clarity and cost.
: Yes. Every modern CCTV system Auztech Security installs supports live and recorded viewing from your smartphone or tablet, anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Brands like Dahua, HiLook and Uniview provide free apps (such as Dahua DMSS and HiLook) that let you check live feeds, review recorded footage, receive motion alerts and share access with family members. We configure the app during installation, add your devices, and walk you through using it before we leave, so you can monitor your home or business remotely from day one without any technical setup on your part.

Yes. All quality CCTV cameras include night vision, and modern systems perform far better in low light than older models. Standard cameras use infrared (IR) LEDs to see in complete darkness, producing clear black-and-white footage. Full-colour night vision cameras (such as Dahua’s Full-Colour and TiOC ranges) use advanced sensors and warm supplementary lighting to record in colour even at night, which helps identify clothing and vehicle colours. Because most break-ins happen after dark, Auztech Security recommends cameras with strong low-light performance at key entry points, and we position them to avoid glare from streetlights and sensor lights.
How long footage is kept depends on your recorder’s hard-drive size, the number of cameras, resolution, frame rate and whether recording is continuous or motion-triggered. A common 4-camera home system with a 2TB hard drive typically stores 2–4 weeks of footage before overwriting the oldest recordings. Higher-resolution 8MP cameras or more cameras fill storage faster, while motion-only recording extends retention. Businesses that need 30–90 days of footage simply use a larger hard drive. During your quote, Auztech Security sizes the storage to the retention period you need, and we can add extra drive capacity at any time.
Yes, you can legally install CCTV on your own residential property in Victoria to monitor your home and its surrounds. However, you should avoid pointing cameras directly into a neighbour’s private areas (such as their yard, windows or pool), and audio recording of conversations without consent is restricted under Victorian surveillance laws. For businesses, you must notify staff and customers that recording is taking place, usually with clear signage. Auztech Security positions cameras to cover your own property effectively while respecting neighbours’ privacy, and can advise on signage and placement so your system stays compliant with Australian and Victorian regulations.
There is no single “best” brand — the right choice depends on your budget, property and features you need. Auztech Security installs three trusted brands: Dahua, known for advanced smart analytics, facial recognition and TiOC AI cameras suited to high-security and commercial sites; HiLook (by Hikvision), popular for reliable, user-friendly residential systems with strong value; and Uniview (UNV), a fast-growing brand offering excellent image quality at an affordable price for homes and small businesses. All three offer remote viewing, motion detection and quality night vision. We recommend the brand and model that best fit your specific needs rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all system.
A standard residential CCTV installation of 4–6 cameras is usually completed in a single day, often within 4–6 hours. The exact time depends on the number of cameras, cable-run distances, wall and roof access, and whether cabling must be concealed inside walls. Single-storey homes with roof-cavity access are quickest; double-storey homes, double-brick construction and concealed cabling take longer. Larger commercial systems with 8–16+ cameras may take one to two days. Auztech Security confirms the expected timeframe in your quote and works cleanly and efficiently, tidying cabling and testing every camera and the mobile app before we finish.
CCTV and alarms do different jobs and work best together. A security alarm detects intrusion using sensors and triggers a siren or alerts a monitoring centre — it tells you that something is happening but not exactly what. CCTV records video so you can see what happened, identify people or vehicles, and provide evidence to police or insurers. An alarm deters and warns; CCTV documents and verifies. Many Melbourne homeowners and businesses combine both, and modern AI cameras (like Dahua TiOC) blur the line by adding active deterrents such as sirens and lights. Auztech Security can integrate CCTV and alarms into one connected, app-controlled system.
In most cases some drilling is required to mount cameras securely and to run cabling neatly, but a skilled installer keeps it minimal and tidy. For brick and double-brick Melbourne homes, cameras are typically fixed under eaves or on fascia rather than through the brick face wherever possible, and cabling is routed through the roof cavity to avoid visible runs. Wireless and battery cameras exist for renters or heritage properties where drilling must be avoided, though hardwired systems are more reliable for permanent installations. Auztech Security assesses your walls and eaves and chooses mounting points that are secure, discreet and cause the least disruption.
Yes. Auztech Security provides CCTV repair, servicing and maintenance for both systems we install and existing systems from other providers. Common issues we fix include cameras that have gone offline, blurry or discoloured footage, failed hard drives, app connection problems, and firmware or configuration faults after an internet change. We also offer scheduled maintenance to clean lenses, check cabling, verify recording and update settings so your system keeps performing. Regular servicing extends the life of your equipment and ensures footage is actually being captured when you need it. Contact our team to book a service or repair visit anywhere across Melbourne.
