CCTV & Security Installation in Hawthorn

REC 35801 · A-Grade A62716 · AS/NZS 4806 compliant · Boroondara council

Hawthorn 3122 is heritage-overlay territory — most period homes here have strict rules about externally visible cabling, conduit colour, and any front-of-property fixtures. Citipower distributor. We do a lot of internally-routed CCTV cabling here (under floorboards, through brick chases) and use compact black or bronze turret cameras matched to the home's trim. NVRs go in basements, butler's pantries, or dressing-room shelves — somewhere out of sight but ventilated. Hawthorn jobs are usually 6-8 camera systems for big block coverage.

CCTV FAQ — Hawthorn

How much does CCTV installation cost in Hawthorn?

4-camera Hikvision/Dahua PoE kit fully installed: $1,890–$2,490. 6-camera kit: $2,690–$3,490. 8-camera kit: $3,490–$4,990. Includes NVR, cabling, signage, app setup. ANPR cameras add $250–$450 per camera.

Do you install Hikvision and Dahua?

Yes — both. We default to Hikvision ColorVu / AcuSense or Dahua WizSense / TiOC depending on the use case. Both are full-colour-night-vision capable and have person/vehicle smart filtering to cut false alerts.

Wireless or wired?

Wired PoE — every time. Wireless cameras run flat, drop signal, and stop recording overnight. We run cat6 PoE through roof cavities, terminate at a hardwired NVR with UPS backup, and leave you with a system that records 24/7 for years.

Will the cameras work at night?

Yes — full colour. Hikvision ColorVu and Dahua TiOC use F/1.0 lens + warm-spectrum LED supplementary lighting to give you full-colour video at night, not the old monochrome IR look.

Can I view the cameras on my phone?

Yes — Hik-Connect (Hikvision) or DMSS (Dahua) iOS/Android app, with motion-triggered notifications and remote playback. We set the app up on your phone before we leave the job.
