How Our Installation Process Works

Thinking about getting a Dahua/Ajax/HikVision/Hilook CCTV system installed? Here’s how the initial steps work to make sure you get exactly what you need—without any guesswork.

Step 1: Personal Consultation
First, we’ll schedule a time to have a chat—either over the phone or in person. Our team will ask about your property layout, specific security concerns, and any preferences you might have when it comes to camera placement or features. No tech jargon, just a straightforward conversation to understand your goals.

Step 2: Customised System Planning
After we’ve gathered all the details, we’ll design a surveillance solution tailored to your home or business. We take into account entry points, lighting conditions, and the areas you want monitored. Before we proceed, we’ll run everything by you—layout, camera types, and all the little details—so you’re confident in the plan before installation day arrives.

How Many CCTV Cameras Will You Need?

The ideal number of CCTV cameras for your property isn’t set in stone—it really comes down to your unique layout, security concerns, and the areas you want to monitor. A small office might only need a handful to cover entrances and high-traffic zones, while a sprawling warehouse or multi-tenant building could require dozens to ensure full coverage.

Here’s how professionals usually determine the right number:

• Property Size and Layout: Open-plan spaces often need fewer cameras than a warren of hallways and hidden corners.

• Points of Entry: Every door, gate, and loading dock is a potential entry point worth monitoring.

• Blind Spots: Areas not easily seen from main corridors, like stairwells or storage rooms, may need extra cameras.

• Level of Surveillance Required: If you need facial recognition or license plate clarity, more cameras with specific angles might be necessary.

Security experts typically start with an on-site assessment, mapping out risk areas and working directly with you to balance coverage and budget. So, there’s no universal number, but careful planning ensures you’re covered where it counts.

Choosing the Right CCTV Installation Company on the Gold Coast

Selecting the right team for your CCTV installation isn’t just about price tags and product specs. You want a company that stands behind their work, offers professional advice, and is responsive long after the last cable is tucked away.

Here are a few key things to look for:

• After-Sales Support: Choose a provider known for reliable customer service and ongoing support, so you’re not left scrambling if you need help or something goes awry.

• Expertise with Leading Brands: Ensure they install reputable brands like Dahua or Hikvision, which offer proven reliability and advanced features.

• Custom Solutions: Look for companies that actually listen to your needs and tailor the system to your property—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

• Installation Quality: Ask about the training and experience of their technicians. Quality workmanship matters for both performance and peace of mind.

• Clear Inclusions and Terms: Transparent quotes and detailed information about what’s included in the installation (equipment, warranty, training, etc.) help you avoid hidden costs or surprises down the line.

By weighing these factors, you can feel confident your investment will keep your property secure now and into the future.

Tailored to Suit Your Property

No two homes or businesses are the same, so your security system shouldn’t be either. Our approach is hands-on—from conducting an on-site assessment to understanding your layout, lighting, and security priorities, we design every CCTV setup around your unique needs.

Whether you’re protecting a cozy bungalow, a sprawling warehouse, or a busy retail shop, we offer flexible camera placements, coverage options, and smart features to match. This means you get the right number of cameras, the right angles, and technology that adapts to your property—not a cookie-cutter solution. Our experts ensure you’re fully covered and can monitor everything important to you, day or night.
