Note – all pricing on website may be subject to an on site inspection. These prices presented are for single storey homes with roof access and within the Sydney Metro only. If your home doesn’t have eaves, doesn’t have a roof cavity, has an extension which doesn’t share the same roof space or you require the camera away from your main roof space, then these will likely change the costs of the installation of the system. If you have booked in an install and are not sure about this, the technician will advise you on the day. You will not be forced to proceed with the install if you are not happy with the price.
At Serious Security, we understand that as a business owner you worry about the security of your business and its assets when you can’t be present all the time. That is why our straightforward CCTV surveillance camera packages are popular among our Sydney & Melbourne business customers.
CCTV, or closed circuit television, is now a popular system used by many Australian businesses. It allows you to monitor all activities within your business where you can’t keep an eye on it all the time. Whether you’re at the back of your office or at home or travelling overseas, CCTV security systems give you peace of mind your business is being monitored.
Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S).
You can address OH&S requirements with a video surveillance system that helps you provide a secure and safe working environment for your employees and visitors. Furthermore, it can also help gather evidence when investigating OH&S injury claims.
Advantages of CCTV Systems for Business
The main difference between the two from a user standpoint is the resolution. The resolution of CCTV cameras refers to the clarity and detail of the images they capture. Higher resolution means more detailed images, which can be crucial for identifying faces, license plates, and other important details.
6 Megapixel (6MP)
Resolution: 3072 x 2048 pixels
Very high resolution with excellent detail. Ideal for monitoring large areas or critical points. Perfect all rounder for most applications.
8 Megapixel (8MP) / 4K Ultra HD
Resolution: 3840 x 2160 pixels
Ultra-high resolution offering superior detail. Excellent for facial recognition and license plate identification. (usually 3 metres of extra clarity compared to the 6MP)
Higher storage capacity needed.
All of our cameras have infra red – or the ability to see at night. At night the cameras adjust to the light by turning into black and white mode.

A typical 4 camera system takes around 3-5 hours to install for either a single storey home / standard office. It will take more time if your building is large or you need more cameras.
For an 8 camera system on a double storey home, it couild take up to a day (6-8 hours).
For a warehouse, we find that on average 8 cameras will take up to 2 days.
CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) systems use cameras to capture video footage, which is then transmitted to a monitor or a recording device.
The cameras send the information on the data it captures to the DVR or NVR. The video record then:
This broadcasting is what allows you to access your feed from any computer, iphone or android device.
Cash, bank deposit, credit card are all OK. Credit card – a surcharge of 1.5% exists.
This is expected to be payable on completion of the job. The exception to the rule is if you agree with our staff to specfic alternative payment terms.
Our CCTV systems have a warranty of 24 months. This is both a parts and labour warranty.
Our installation team have been in the industry for years. Over this time, they have seen inferior products come and go. We have selected to work with products that we are because of their general quality and the reliability.
Cameras on an modern analog CCTV system send their video in the traditional base band format over coax or UTP cabling back to a digital video recorder (DVR). Here, video is digitized and stored on hard drives. Most modern DVRs can allow the streaming to be accessed remotely from the LAN, or with the proper configuration, from across the internet.
IP or Digital video cameras broadcast their video as a digital stream over an IP network. Like an analog system, video is recorded on hard drives, but since the video is an IP stream straight from the camera, there is more flexibility as to how and where that video is recorded. The DVR is replaced with an NVR (network video recorder), which in some cases is just software since it doesn’t need to convert analog to digital. Video footage can then be stored on hard drives as directed by the NVR software.
Why choose an analog system?
cost is generally lower. Analog in general is lower quality up to 800TVL only (quite pixellated)
What is HDCVI / HDTVI?
These newer technologies allow digital signals to be communicated over COAX cables and thus you are able to use old cables to transmit the data. These are commonly used to upgrade old systems to up to 5MP or even 4K clarity. They are usually more cost effective than upgrading to a completely IP based system.
Why choose a completely digital system?
The data for these cameras are transmitted over CAT5/CAT6 cables instead. They run back to an NVR. They are more complicated to set up, but can utilise IP addresses to pull in data from other camera sources (don’t have to be local)
Here is a great video that runs through most of the commonly used features of the Hikvision 4.0 version NVR.
What you need:
Cabling requirements:
Yes, there are several factors that can affect the installation time of a CCTV system, including the complexity of the setup, the location of the cameras, and the type of cameras being used. Additionally, the experience and expertise of the installer can also play a role in the installation time
It is possible to install a CCTV system by oneself, but it may require some technical knowledge and experience. If you are not familiar with CCTV installation, it is recommended to hire a professional to ensure proper installation and functionality of the system.
A: CCTV systems can provide a range of benefits, including:
The length of time that CCTV footage can be stored depends on the type of recording device being used. Some CCTV systems can store footage for up to a month, while others can store it for several months or even years. The storage capacity can also vary depending on the resolution and frame rate of the cameras.
For example, a 4 camera 6mp system set on 20fps will record around 1 week on 24/7 recording before it is written over.
The footage is usually only accessible to authorized personnel, such as the property owner or the police. However, in some cases, the footage may be used as evidence in a court case and may be made available to the public through the legal process.
If you keep your credentials safe and don’t share it with anyone you should be the only one who would be able to access it.
Yes, many CCTV systems allow you to access your footage from multiple devices, such as smartphones, tablets
A DVR (Digital Video Recorder) records footage from analog cameras, while an NVR (Network Video Recorder) records footage from IP cameras.
NVRs generally support higher resolution cameras and more advanced video analytics.
We only install NVR systems for new installations and would only use DVRs to replace older systems.
If you’re unsure of what system you have, please contact us
Most CCTV systems have a playback function that allows you to search for and view footage. This can be done via the app and via the recorder.
To download the footage to a USB directly, you will need to access the NVR/recorder installed inside your property.
All of our CCTV systems can work offline and don’t require an internet connection.
Having an internet connection does provide additional features and functionality like remote viewing and intruder alerts when people come onto your property
We will configure this all as part of our installation process
Determining the number of cameras needed for your property depends on several factors, including the size of the property, the areas you want to monitor, and your specific security needs.
At Serious Security, we can help you by assessing and quoting quickly based on your requirements. We have over 10 years experience and have come up with 1000s of solutions.
A general guide for a single storey home, 4-5 cameras should be sufficient to monitor all access points around the house.
A larger double storey home, we can expect to look at 6-8 cameras
Our popular CCTV package is commonly installed
The frequency of CCTV backup depends on the nature of the business or premises being monitored. For example, if you own a retail store, it is may be necessary to back up your CCTV footage weekly or monthly to ensure that any incidents that occur in the store are captured on camera. In contrast, if you own a home, backing up the footage everytime an interesting event happens.
It is important to ensure that your storage system has a large enough capacity to allow sufficient time to pass before the data overwrites on the hard drive
It is important to note when the CCTV is beeping – as this can sometimes mean a hard drive failure and it has stopped recording at that point.
Joe regularly misses the courier as he works from his home office which currently doesn’t have an intercom monitor. His home office is a granny flat and a fair distance away from his main house. He also regularly meets clients himself and thus is unable to be at home to greet the courier.
IP INTERCOM SYSTEM
We recommended an IP intercom system for Joe. An IP intercom system would allow Joe to communicate with the courier even if he isn’t around the intercom monitor. His phone would have an app which would also buzz in the event that the door station is pressed. He would then be able to instruct the courier to leave the parcel in specified location while he isn’t home.
CCTV SYSTEM
Due to the high value of his parcels, he also decided to implement a CCTV system to have recordings of the courier placing the parcels in the designated locations and would have footage in case something went amiss.
Harry has owned an electrical business for decades and employs 7 staff. He is in his 50s sometimes wants to spend more time with recreational / family activities. While he is doing this, he is worried about the state of his business. He has noticed that he is making less profit and seen a decline in sales.
CCTV SYSTEM
He’s decided to install a comprehensive CCTV system covering his workshop & office area. We installed 6 cameras in total – 1 outside (for security) and the rest inside (including 2 in the office). The cctv was set up with remote viewing so Harry could log in from anywhere to check on his staff. He put signs up to ensure his staff knew CCTV were installed.
Eventually he discovered some of his office staff were slacking off and not picking up phone calls.
Smyth is a manager at a metal works factory in Silverwater NSW. There is a long production line and currently there are multiple staff required to view the production line to ensure quality control. They are finding that errors are missed between checkpoints and thus Smyth is looking for a better solution.
CCTV
We’ve recommended a motorised camera solution. The cameras are positioned along various points of the production line and zoomed into the production line. A staff member would watch the production line and would stop production as soon as something went amiss so it could be corrected. This has made the quality control process a lot more efficient.
Elizabeth runs a small retail shop in Melbourne, selling clothing and accessories. Despite being a successful business, Elizabeth noticed that her profits were not as high as she expected them to be. After conducting an internal audit, she discovered that her staff and customers were stealing from her.
Elizabeth was determined to put a stop to the theft, so she decided to install CCTV cameras throughout her shop. She placed cameras at strategic locations, such as the cash register and the dressing rooms, where she suspected most of the thefts were taking place.
After the cameras were installed, Elizabeth monitored the footage closely. She was shocked to discover that her staff were stealing from her by undercharging customers and pocketing the difference. She also caught customers stealing items from the store.
Elizabeth took immediate action, dismissing the staff members who were caught stealing and banning the customers who were caught on camera. She also used the footage as evidence in her insurance claim.
As a result of the CCTV installation, Elizabeth was able to significantly reduce the amount of theft in her store. Her profits improved, and she was able to improve her stock turnover and invest in her business.
Elizabeth’s experience is a prime example of how CCTV can be used effectively to combat theft in retail businesses. The cameras not only act as a deterrent, but they also provide clear evidence of any criminal activity, allowing business owners to take appropriate action.
Joseph runs a successful car wash business. However, he noticed that customers were often making claims of scratches and damage to their cars after being washed. Despite his efforts to train and monitor his staff, the claims continued to happen.
To address this issue, Joseph decided to install CCTV cameras throughout his car wash facility. He placed cameras at key locations, such as the entrance, the washing bay, and the drying area.
After the cameras were installed, Joseph reviewed the footage regularly. To his surprise, he discovered that many of the claims were false and that the customers were damaging their cars before they even entered the car wash. In some cases, customers were even intentionally causing damage to their cars in order to make a claim.
With the CCTV footage as evidence, Joseph was able to refute many of the false claims and significantly reduce the number of claims being made. He also used the footage to train his staff on how to properly handle and inspect cars before and after the wash to prevent any accidental damage.
As a result of the CCTV installation, Joseph was able to improve customer satisfaction and reduce the number of claims made against his business. His reputation as a reliable and trustworthy car wash business also improved.
Joseph’s experience is a prime example of how CCTV can be used effectively to protect businesses from false claims and improve customer satisfaction. The cameras not only act as a deterrent, but they also provide clear evidence of any activity, allowing business owners to address any issues and make necessary improvements.
Jack is a commercial property manager who manages a large strata-titled building in Melbourne. He noticed that many tenants and visitors were using the carpark incorrectly, such as parking in the wrong spots, parking in the disabled spots without a permit, and parking for longer than the designated time.
To address this issue, Jack decided to install number plate recognition (NPR) cameras in the carpark. These cameras use advanced technology to automatically capture and read the license plate numbers of vehicles entering and exiting the carpark.
With the NPR cameras in place, Jack was able to monitor the use of the carpark more effectively. He was able to track which vehicles were parked in the wrong spots, and for how long. He could also identify repeat offenders and take appropriate action.
Jack used the data collected from the NPR cameras to enforce the parking regulations more effectively. He was able to send warning notices to tenants and visitors who were found to be parking incorrectly. He also used the data to identify patterns of misuse, such as peak times and areas where parking was most commonly misused, and make adjustments to the carpark layout and regulations accordingly.
As a result of the NPR camera installation, Jack was able to improve the overall use of the carpark. He was able to increase the number of available spots for tenants and visitors, reduce the number of parking disputes, and increase overall satisfaction among the tenants.
Jack’s experience is a prime example of how number plate recognition cameras can be used effectively to monitor and manage the use of a carpark. The cameras provide an automated and accurate way to track and enforce parking regulations, which can help to improve overall satisfaction among tenants and visitors.
Farley is the general manager of a scrap car yard. Despite his efforts to secure the yard, he noticed that criminals were regularly stealing car parts during business hours and after hours. He knew that this was not only causing financial loss but also putting his staff at risk.
To address this issue, Farley decided to install CCTV cameras throughout his scrap car yard. He placed cameras at key locations, such as the entrance, the storage area, and around the perimeter of the yard. He also installed cameras that had night vision capabilities to cover the area during the night.
After the cameras were installed, Farley noticed a significant reduction in the number of thefts. The criminals knew that they were being monitored and were less likely to break in. Farley also used the footage to identify the criminals and report them to the police.
Farley also used the footage to improve the security of his yard. He was able to identify areas that were vulnerable to theft and make necessary adjustments, such as adding more lighting, or increasing the number of security guards.
As a result of the CCTV installation, Farley was able to significantly reduce the number of thefts and improve the overall security of his scrap car yard. His staff felt safer, and his profits increased as he no longer had to cover the cost of stolen car parts.
Farley’s experience is a prime example of how CCTV can be used effectively to deter crime and improve security. The cameras not only act as a deterrent, but they also provide clear evidence of any criminal activity, allowing businesses to take appropriate action and make necessary improvements to their security measures.
