Protect What Matters Most with one of Brisbane’s leading CCTV equipment installers in Boronia Heights. Nobody should be a stranger to the current news regarding the higher crime rate on Brisbane’s Southside. We are seeing an increasing demand in customers wanting to install cameras on their home property and features that act as deterrents, such as the ability for a spotlight to come on, Audio warnings, and flashing red and blue lights when motion is detected. These features usually aren’t available in do-it-yourself kits, which often run out of batteries when you need them the most. Installing a wired system might be a small amount of extra to pay; however, the downsides of Wireless cameras, which we explain below, will convince you to get it done properly the first time so that you never look back!
Many older and basic security cameras allow for recording, not deterrents. How often do you see security camera footage on local Facebook pages of plain cameras where they aren’t even aware they are being recorded and monitored? Deterrents won’t always work, but wouldn’t you want to deter them as much as you can? Let us show you the different methods we have found successful with the over 4000 Cameras we have installed to date with our Camera installation service throughout the greater Brisbane Region.
All of our home security options in Boronia Heights are hard wired Cameras which offer the best protection than cheaper alternatives. Our Quotes also include all the cable, mounting the security camera, the DVR box to record up to 2 weeks of footage (can be bigger if required). On the day we will determine the best camera placements due to our over 20 years experience. We can also connect the cameras to your TV using a 1.5 – 3m HDMI cable and set up mobile access so that you don’t have to worry about setting anything up by yourself and all of our Camera’s come with ongoing phone and virtual technical support post-installation that we can access remotely and assist you if you provide the password.
Boronia Heights in Queensland has been experiencing varying crime trends that highlight the need for enhanced security measures such as installing security cameras. According to recent crime statistics, Boronia Heights has an overall crime rate of 4495 incidents per 100,000 population, which places it in the 51st percentile for safety among Queensland suburbs. This indicates that nearly half of the suburbs are safer while the other half are more dangerous (AU Crime Rate).
The most common types of crime in Boronia Heights include theft, assault, and burglary. In 2023, there were 79 reported cases of theft, 44 of assault, and 38 of burglary/break and enter (RedSuburbs). These crimes, particularly those involving property and personal safety, underscore the importance of having a robust security system in place. Security cameras can act as a deterrent to potential criminals and provide critical evidence in the event of a crime, thereby enhancing the safety and security of homes and businesses in the area.
Furthermore, the suburb has seen specific incidents such as arson, which was highlighted by a case involving two connected arson attacks where a business was targeted, causing significant damage (Queensland Police News). This incident illustrates the potential for serious criminal activity and the benefits of having surveillance systems to monitor and record suspicious activities. Overall, with a moderate safety rating for walking at night and a history of various crimes, investing in security cameras in Boronia Heights is a prudent measure to protect property and ensure personal safety.
Given these statistics, investing in security cameras can be prudent to enhance safety and potentially deter criminal activities in Boronia Heights.

We can install a combination of Dahua Wizsense (standard) and Tioc Cameras (Advanced) in the same setting. The Tioc cameras (Advanced) have Flash lights, sirens and active deterents, whereas the standard model (WizSense) Doesn’t. So you can choose to have the active deterents models at the front of your property that warns people off standard cameras at the side and back as you have fencing that would already offer a basic deterrent. These are the two models that Dahua have so you can see the difference between them.

Brands such as Arlo, Ring, Google, Nest, Blink and TP-Link Tapo all offer do-it-yourself security installations, which at first sound very tempting; however, consider the following points which is why you would want to fill in our quote form to get a professional to quote you on a hard-wired security solution.
Wired cameras provide a stable and continuous connection, ensuring consistent surveillance without the risk of signal drops or interference that can affect wireless systems.
Wired systems are less vulnerable to hacking than wireless cameras, which transmit data over the air and can be intercepted by tech-savvy intruders.
With wired cameras, you can expect higher resolution and clearer video feeds because they are not limited by bandwidth or signal strength issues common in wireless setups.
Unlike some wireless cameras that rely on batteries, wired cameras are connected directly to the power source, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements and ensuring uninterrupted operation. Too often, we hear cameras running out of battery when an incident occurs, making your investment worthless if you have to recharge every couple of days.
Although the initial setup might require more effort and resources, wired cameras are more durable and require less maintenance over time, making them a more cost-effective solution in the long run. A lot of the time, you have to pay for notifications and mobile device access in order to best utilise the cameras, which can add up the cost.
Wired systems can be expanded more easily with additional cameras without worrying about bandwidth limitations or additional strain on your Wi-Fi network.
While we protect your most precious assets with top-of-the-range, cost-effective security systems, Let us do any data cabling you may have to eliminate WIFI black spots; upgrade old Analog TV antennas so you can watch Channels 7, 9, and 10 with excellent Digital Clarity, or get an Alarm system that is louder than any camera-based deterrent system and is ideal for rural or commercial properties.
Security alarms still form a popular option for people with existing alarm packages built into their homes that either don’t work or need to be updated with the latest technology. This home security system is also ideal for people on a rural property where the sound of deterrents and alarms must be heard at a greater distance than the standard alarms in our most popular packages above. We can ensure that we install the best home alarm system for you regardless of the size of your home. If you wish to update your security alarm system with CCTV systems, we can integrate them into your home or business. Peace of Mind, regardless of what system is installed to protect your home.
Since the move to digital TV, if you haven’t maintained your house Antenna, the quality of your TV may not be the best. Some Antennas we replaced are over 25 years old and need to be replaced. Most customers know that they have a problem when they are having signal Issues, pixelated images, and not being able to find all the available channels in their area. If you experiencing any issues with your TV reception, fill in the quote form today for a free quote. Our Antenna technician is skilled in aerial repairs and maintenance will make sure that your digital antenna system operates flawlessly with the best available reception at your home using our tools to configure each individual antenna position. Also foxtel has ceased broadcasting free to air channels over their cable network in October 2023 so unless you have a Satelite system it is using your often old Antenna which may need to be updated
Wifi Networks can be great however you are always limited by speed issues especially if your house has known black spots. Instead of running cables through your house, we can install the network cables through your house with beautiful sockets so that you can get the ultimate speeds and your home looks neat and tidy. We can also do this on the day of the camera installation which brings down the cost of getting it done at a seperate time.

With so many types of security options to choose from this is a brief overview of the type of camera’s we can work with.
IP Camera or Network Camera – Most cameras are IP only now since there is no use of cameras that you can only access from a particular place. We are usually upgrading these older systems so that they are IP cameras that allow you to check your security footage and live feed from anywhere in the world.
Turret Camera – Small, rounded cameras you see everywhere. This is commonly used either in residential or commercial areas. These are dome-shaped cameras pointing to one side that can have a wider capture angle.
Bullet Camera – You might have seen this in many shops and malls. This device has a long head (typically you see them in photos and movies). These are great for getting very specific areas and zooming up close for getting License Plate numbers.
Dome Camera – As per the name, dome-like. Mostly used in indoor cameras for commercial security as it hides the lens tricking criminals about which side lens is looking unlike the Turret Camera’s above.
All of our systems are able to record sound and some also have 2 way Audio where you can speak to the person who has triggered the alarm – example mail delivery services and giving them permission to leave your package somewhere of your choosing.
CCTV footage is a crucial tool in legal and law enforcement scenarios. It can be utilized extensively for the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution, or punishment of criminal offences. Additionally, it is valuable in the preparation for or conduct of proceedings before any court or tribunal. The footage must be handled and used correctly to serve as reliable evidence in legal contexts. It’s important that this copy is clear, unaltered, and includes a timestamp and date. This helps in establishing a precise and uncontested timeline of the events captured.
Out of 36 major insurers in QLD, only 12 offered some form of discount or benefit for having a security system installed one of which is RACQ, which offers a 10% discount if an alarm system is monitored. However, more important to note is that the majority of insurance companies in QLD take CCTV security cameras into consideration when calculating your premiums but do not specify the discount amount. You can usually find this out by telling them about what your going to get installed and asked them to give you a new updated premium which would be specific to your need but your area and crime statistics as shown above will also be used in deciding your premiums.
The scary thing is that many insurers have clauses excluding coverage if a security system is not installed, functioning, disconnected, or affected by cyber-attacks or renovations at the time of a break-in or theft. This is not something that you would like to find out about, thinking you’re insured and realising that it was a hidden clause. No wonder why so many people can despise insurance companies.
To get the most accurate and up-to-date information on discounts and coverage related to CCTV cameras or security systems, it’s recommended to contact the specific insurance providers and review their Product Disclosure Statements or simply give them a call which will be way easier.
