Our CCTV & Security Services
Home CCTV Installation
Cover your driveway, front door, yard and side access with cameras positioned to capture faces and number plates, not just shadows.
Video Doorbells
See, hear and talk to whoever’s at the door from your phone. Hardwired doorbells mean no batteries to recharge, and they can record alongside your cameras.
Rural & Acreage Security
Keep an eye on sheds, gates and machinery on larger properties, with remote viewing that works over Starlink, so you’re covered even off the NBN.
Remote Viewing & Alerts
We set up the app on your phone, tablet or computer so you can watch live footage, play back recordings and get motion alerts wherever you are.
Alarms & Intruder Detection
Add motion sensors, perimeter detection and audible or silent alarms, all controllable from your phone alongside your cameras.
Upgrades, Repairs & Maintenance
Got an old or faulty system? We can troubleshoot it, replace dead cameras, or upgrade you to sharper, smarter equipment.
Security Camera Options to Suit Your Property
There’s no one-size-fits-all camera. We’ll recommend the right mix for what you need to see, how far away it is, and how much light there is at night. We supply cameras and recorders from trusted wholesalers as part of the installation.
Camera styles
- Bullet cameras: a visible deterrent with long range, ideal for driveways, yards and fence lines.
- Dome and turret cameras: compact and discreet, great for front doors, patios and shopfronts.
- Wide-angle cameras: cover more ground with fewer cameras on larger areas.
Features worth having
- High-resolution HD and 4K video so you can actually make out faces and number plates.
- Infrared and colour night vision for clear footage after dark.
- Smart person and vehicle detection to cut down false alerts from trees, pets and wildlife.
- Local recording to a recorder (NVR), so footage is kept on site without monthly cloud fees.
Wired or wireless?
We generally recommend hardwired cameras. A single network cable carries both power and video, so there are no batteries to charge and no Wi-Fi dropouts. With a background in data cabling, we run cables neatly through the roof and walls so the finished job looks tidy. Where cabling isn’t practical, we’ll talk you through wireless options.

CCTV Installation FAQs
How much does CCTV installation cost in Mackay?
It depends on how many cameras you need, the type of cameras, how far the cables need to run and how much recording storage you want. We give you a clear, upfront quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Request a free quote.
How many cameras do I need?
Most homes start with cameras on the driveway, front door and any side or rear access points. Larger blocks, acreage and businesses usually need more. We’ll walk through your property and recommend the fewest cameras that still cover everything that matters.
Should I get wired or wireless cameras?
Hardwired cameras are the most reliable. One cable handles power and video, so there’s no battery charging or Wi-Fi dropouts. Wireless can suit spots where running a cable isn’t practical. We’ll recommend what’s best for each location.
Can I watch my cameras on my phone?
Yes. We set up the viewing app on your phone, tablet or computer so you can see live footage, play back recordings and get motion alerts from anywhere with an internet connection.
Do you install video doorbells?
Yes. We install hardwired video doorbells that let you see, hear and talk to visitors from your phone, and they can record alongside your CCTV cameras. If you’re building or renovating, we can prewire for one.
Will CCTV work on a rural property with Starlink?
Yes. Cameras record locally on site, and remote viewing works over a Starlink connection just like NBN. We also install Starlink, so we can set up both together.
Do you supply the cameras and equipment?
Yes. We source cameras, recorders and cabling from trusted wholesalers and include them in your quote, so it’s one price for the complete system.
Can you upgrade or fix my existing CCTV system?
Yes. We can troubleshoot faults, replace failed cameras or recorders, and upgrade older systems to higher-resolution cameras with smart detection, often reusing existing cabling where it’s in good condition.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the number of cameras and how complex the cable runs are. We’ll give you a time estimate with your quote so you can plan around it.
