Home & Business CCTV Installation
A locksmith secures your doors and locks. CCTV extends that same thinking to the rest of your property, letting you see what's happening at your front door, driveway or side access, whether you're home or not. We install residential and small business security cameras across the Lower North Shore, and we're happy to talk through what actually makes sense for your property rather than sell you more camera than you need.
- Home and residential CCTV camera installation
- Camera positioning and coverage planning for your property

Wireless, Battery & Solar Camera Options
Not every property needs a fully hard-wired CCTV system. Depending on your home, your access to power and your Wi-Fi coverage, a wireless, battery or solar camera setup can often do the job just as well, usually with less mess and a faster installation.
Battery-Powered Cameras
- Ideal where running a cable is difficult or impractical
- Well suited to homes, apartments, rental properties and areas with limited access to power
- Easy app-based monitoring once set up
Battery life depends on the camera model, how much motion activity it picks up and the weather, so we'll explain realistically what to expect for your setup rather than promise a battery that never needs attention.
Solar-Powered Cameras
- Ideal for locations without convenient access to mains power
- Solar charging with battery backup for overcast days and overnight use
- Suited to driveways, side access, gates, garages and other external areas
Performance depends on how much direct sunlight the panel actually receives, the position it's mounted in and the specific system used, so we assess this on-site before recommending a solar camera for a spot.
Wireless & Wi-Fi Cameras
- A cleaner installation with minimal cabling
- Connects to your existing Wi-Fi network for easy smartphone access
- Wi-Fi coverage and network reliability at the camera's location need to be considered before installation
We're upfront about this: a wireless camera is only as reliable as the Wi-Fi signal reaching it, so if coverage is weak at a particular spot, we'll tell you before we install anything there, not after.
Smart Home & Smart Lock Integration
Where the products you choose are compatible, security cameras can be connected with a smart home setup or a smart lock for a more complete picture of who's coming and going.
- See who's at the door on your phone before you unlock it
- Receive camera and lock notifications together on your smartphone
- Connect compatible smart locks and cameras for a more complete home security setup
- Monitor entry points remotely, whether you're at work or away
Not every camera is compatible with every smart lock or smart home platform, and we won't pretend otherwise. As part of planning your installation, we'll check which brands and models actually work together for the outcome you're after, and recommend accordingly.
How We Approach Your CCTV Installation
We treat CCTV as a security decision, not just a product sale. Here's what to expect when you book us in.
- We discuss your security concerns and what you're actually trying to achieve
- We assess your property and identify the best camera locations for real coverage
- We recommend suitable camera options for your property and budget
- We explain the trade-offs between wired, wireless, battery and solar solutions
- We install and configure the system properly, including mounting and cable management
- We connect your smartphone or app and set up live viewing and notifications
- We test every camera on-site and explain how to use the system before we leave
Every property is different, so the right answer depends on your home, your budget, your Wi-Fi coverage, your power access and how much security you actually want. We'd rather talk that through properly than sell you a fixed package that doesn't fit.
Licensed, Local & Careful With Camera Placement
CCTV installation is a regulated security activity in NSW, and our work in this area is carried out under Master Security Licence 000111072, the same licence displayed across our locksmith services.
We also take camera placement seriously. As part of every installation, we position cameras to cover your own property responsibly, and we'll talk with you about avoiding unnecessary surveillance of neighbouring properties or private areas, such as a neighbour's windows or yard. Where you have specific privacy questions about your setup, we're happy to talk them through, though for detailed legal advice on surveillance and privacy law we'd always suggest checking with the relevant NSW authority.

CCTV & Security Camera Questions
Yes. Wireless cameras connect to your home Wi-Fi rather than running a cable back to a recorder, which usually means a cleaner, faster installation. We'll check your Wi-Fi coverage at the camera locations first, since a weak signal can affect reliability.
Yes. Battery-powered cameras are a good option where running a cable is difficult or not possible, such as apartments, rental properties or a spot with no nearby power point. Battery life varies depending on the camera model, motion activity and weather, so we'll explain what to expect for your setup.
Yes, for suitable locations. Solar cameras use a small panel to keep the built-in battery topped up, which works well for driveways, side access, gates and garages that get reasonable sunlight. Performance depends on how much sun the panel receives, so we'll assess the position first.
Wireless and smart cameras generally need Wi-Fi to send notifications and allow remote viewing. Wired systems recording to a local device can run without Wi-Fi, though you'd lose remote access. We'll help you weigh this up based on what you want from the system.
Yes, with a compatible app-connected system we'll set up live viewing, motion alerts and notifications on your smartphone as part of the installation, and show you how to use it.
In many cases, yes. Where the camera and your property are a suitable match, we can install and configure customer-supplied cameras. Let us know the make and model when you call.
Where the products are compatible, yes. Some systems can be linked so you can see who's at the door before unlocking, or get a camera notification alongside a lock event. Compatibility depends on the specific brands and models, so we'll check this during planning.
It depends on your property's size and which entry points and areas you want covered, such as the front door, driveway, side access or backyard. We assess this on-site and recommend camera numbers and positions based on your actual coverage needs.
Yes. Wireless, battery and solar cameras are all designed to minimise or avoid cable runs. They're not the right fit for every situation, but for many homes they're a practical alternative to a fully wired system.
It genuinely depends on your property, budget, Wi-Fi coverage and available power. Wired suits a permanent, high-reliability setup. Wireless, battery and solar suit properties where cabling is difficult or you want a faster, less invasive install. We'll talk through the options rather than push one solution.
Yes. We can assess an existing system, replace outdated cameras or recorders, and upgrade you to wireless, battery, solar or smart camera options where that makes sense for your property.
