Collection: CCTV Installation Melbourne

We're based in Cheltenham and service bayside, inner south-east, and south-east Melbourne, including Casey-area suburbs. See our full Service Areas page for the complete list, or call us to confirm coverage for your address.

Yes — we design and install systems for residential properties, retail and commercial premises, warehouses, and aged care and healthcare facilities across Melbourne.

A standard 4-camera home system typically runs $1,400–$2,300 installed, or from about $300 per camera; larger and commercial sites cost more. Every job is individually quoted, with a free on-site assessment and written quote. See our full Melbourne CCTV cost guide for a breakdown by camera count, or browse CCTV camera systems and packages.

No — CCTV runs on low-voltage cabling, so an electrician isn't required for the cameras themselves. What Victoria does require is that your installer holds the appropriate private security licence, which covers the design and installation of security equipment — Peninsula Smart Care is fully licensed. A licensed electrician is only needed in the rare case that new power points or circuits are required, and we arrange that as part of the job.

In Victoria, CCTV use is governed primarily by the Surveillance Devices Act 1999 (Vic). In practice: you can install cameras on your own property, but they shouldn't be positioned to record neighbouring private areas, and recording private conversations or activities without consent is prohibited. Businesses should pair workplace cameras with clear signage and a surveillance policy. We design every install with compliant placement in mind — and for anything beyond general guidance, seek legal advice for your specific situation.

Most home systems are installed and fully configured in a single day. Commercial and multi-building sites vary with camera count and cabling — you'll get a clear timeline with your written quote, and for operating businesses we can stage work or install out of hours.

Wired (PoE) cameras are more reliable and are our default recommendation for permanent installs — no batteries, no WiFi dropouts, better image quality. Wireless suits situations where cabling is impractical, like heritage buildings, rentals or temporary sites. Many properties end up with a mix.

Yes — we repair and service existing systems, including ones we didn't install, and can upgrade older analogue systems to modern IP cameras, often reusing the existing cabling.
