CCTV Installation Perth
A Wembley homeowner called us on a Tuesday morning after her neighbour reviewed her old doorbell camera and realised the footage of the car thief who took a Prado from their shared driveway was unusable.
The camera was pointed at the right spot, the resolution was technically 1080p, but the low-light performance was so poor the number plate was a grey smudge. Two weeks later we had replaced the doorbell with two IP66 rated high definition cameras, a proper network video recorder, and a City of Perth “See It Say It” compliant sign at the kerb. The police followed up with a statement under the council rebate scheme that covered part of the install.
That is the difference between generic CCTV cameras and proper CCTV installation in Perth. At Castle Security, a family-owned since 1989, we conduct CCTV installation services Perth wide from our Landsdale headquarters at Unit 2, 9 Fallon Road.
Why Choose Castle Security For CCTV Camera Installation Perth
Castle Security provides more than cameras on a wall. We design and install complete security camera systems, alarm systems and access control as one platform, so the front door footage, the motion detection trigger, and the phone alert reach you in the same second.
Our reputation across Perth has been built over 30 years of operation, not 15, its a big difference that clients see when they ring with a fault at 4:47pm on a Friday. We are WA Police licensed, ASIAL certified, and our installers carry Open Cable Registration. We stock our preferred CCTV equipment at Landsdale, so a failed camera is usually replaced within 48 hours rather than back-ordered for six weeks.
Most Perth CCTV installations we run complete inside 10 business days, and complex multi-site fit-outs are scheduled in staged cut-overs so your business keeps trading.
What Sets Our CCTV Installation Services Apart
We are called to install security cameras across residential and commercial properties every week of the year, from a 6-camera house in Victoria Park to a 64-camera construction site in Kwinana.
Six things genuinely separate us.
- we are a local family business, not a franchise, which means the installer who commissioned your cameras is the same team that answers the phone when they misbehave.
- We site-walk every job before quoting, so a number plate camera is specified for the gate and not the garage roof.
- We commission remote viewing on every CCTV camera install before we leave.
- We train you.
- We document every install in a handover pack your electrician or IT person will thank us for.
- We are straight about trade-offs. More megapixels means more bandwidth and more storage, and sometimes the smart choice is an 8MP camera at the entry and 4MP elsewhere.
Benefits Of CCTV For Security
A properly installed CCTV system does four distinct jobs.
- A visual deterrent. Opportunistic offenders bypass homes with obvious, well-placed cameras, which is why our outdoor units are mounted where they can be seen rather than hidden.
- Evidence. When something does happen, HD cameras with true low-light performance produce footage that identifies a face or a number plate, not a hooded blur.
- Live monitoring. remote access through a mobile device means you view live feeds from the back office or the Bali hotel room, and receive instant alerts the moment motion detection triggers in a key area.
- operational insight. Retail clients use camera analytics to track foot traffic, and warehouse operators use loading bay footage to resolve freight disputes without a single phone call.
Crime prevention is why most clients first enquire, These other benefits are why they renew the monitoring contract.
CCTV Installation For Every Property Type
Residential CCTV Systems
For Perth homes, we typically specify 4 to 8 cameras covering the front door, side access, garage, rear yard and any blind corners created by fences or trees. Our home security system installs include full HD or 4K ultra HD cameras, true infrared night vision, weatherproof IP66 housings that handle Perth summers and coastal salt spray, live view live footage on your phone, and motion detection zones tuned to avoid false triggers from swaying gum trees. We complete most Perth home CCTV installations in a single day with minimal disruption, and we commission remote viewing before we step off the ladder.
Commercial CCTV Installation
Commercial properties bring different demands. Retail businesses need cameras over the point of sale and the back door, manufacturers need perimeter coverage and loading bay oversight, and medical clinics need clear reception footage for incident review. Our commercial CCTV installation Perth services integrate cameras with alarm systems, access control and intercoms on a unified platform, so a forced door triggers recording and an instant alert in the same second. For business premises running multiple sites, we centralise the head-end so the regional manager monitors 12 stores from one interface.
Construction Site CCTV
Construction sites are high-theft environments where standard CCTV does not cut it. We deploy solar-powered, 4G-connected camera towers that move with the project, weatherised against Pilbara dust and coastal wind, and tied back to our Grade A1 monitoring centre for after-hours verification. A site protected from day one of earthworks is a site that does not lose $40,000 of copper between Christmas and New Year.
Our CCTV Features And Technical Specifications
We do not chase spec for spec’s sake. Every feature we specify earns its place by solving a real problem on site.
Resolution And Image Quality
Our cameras typically run 6 to 8 megapixel sensors, with 4K ultra HD for the entries and critical views. Higher resolution captures faces, number plates and identifying details, which makes the difference between a statement to police and a file that actually produces an arrest. We will also push back where 4K is overkill, because storage and bandwidth costs are real.
Storage And Network Video Recorder
Most Perth homes run a 3TB to 4TB network video recorder, retaining 30 to 45 days of footage. Commercial sites typically scale to 12TB with RAID redundancy. Cloud storage is an option for clients who want off-site backup, and we will walk you through the monthly cost before quoting.
Weatherproof And Durable Cameras
Every outdoor CCTV camera we install is IP66 rated for dust and driven rain, and the mounts are stainless steel where salt corrosion is a risk. Cottesloe, Scarborough and North Coogee homes replace mild-steel mounts on a three-year cycle. Our stainless installs still read like new at the ten-year mark.
Ease Of Use And Training
A brilliant security camera system that sits unused because the interface confuses the owner is a wasted install. We train every client on-site at handover, cover arming and disarming, remote viewing, footage export and user permissions, and we stay on the phone for the first 30 days while the routines bed in.
Remote Access To Your Security Cameras
Every CCTV camera system we install supports remote viewing through a mobile app, provided the site has an internet connection. We configure remote access on your phone, tablet and computer before leaving, so you view recorded CCTV footage remotely the moment the system goes live.
Security Camera Brands We Install
We partner with manufacturers we actually trust, not whoever is running the distributor promotion. These are the brands we stock and commission across residential and commercial properties in Perth.
Hikvision. Origin China, 2-year warranty. Our workhorse for volume residential installs. Strong low-light performance, reliable firmware, and practical price-point. The AcuSense range reduces false motion detection triggers noticeably.
Dahua. Origin China, 2-year warranty. Preferred for budget-conscious commercial fit-outs and construction sites. The WizSense analytics module handles perimeter detection well in open yards.
Uniview (UNV). Origin China, 2-year warranty. Our go-to for mid-tier commercial where open-protocol integration matters. Clean ONVIF implementation plays nicely with third-party video management systems.
Hanwha Vision (Wisenet). Origin South Korea, 3-year warranty. Enterprise-grade hardware with excellent wide dynamic range. The Wisenet X series is what we specify for banks, high-end retail and government sites where evidence-grade footage is mandatory.
Honeywell. Origin USA, 3-year warranty. Legacy choice for existing Honeywell-integrated sites. Long support lifecycles suit clients on 10-year capex cycles.
Legal Requirements And WA Compliance
CCTV cameras are powerful, and responsibility sits squarely with the installer and the owner. We design every install to the Surveillance Devices Act 1998 (WA), which prohibits audio recording without consent. We fit signage at all camera zones as required, we avoid aiming cameras at private property owned by others, and we configure the network video recorder with secure credentials and encrypted remote access so footage does not leak. We also walk clients through sensible retention policies, access logs and footage request procedures, because proper governance is how CCTV stays compliant three years after install, not just on day one.

Frequently asked questions
Ask us anythingFrequently asked questions
Ask us anythingHow long do CCTV cameras store footage for?
The duration for which CCTV cameras can store footage largely depends on the storage capacity of the system and the resolution of the footage. Commercial CCTV setups typically use either Network Video Recorders (NVRs) or cloud-based storage solutions, allowing for adjustable storage options. Generally, businesses opt to store footage from 30 to 90 days, but configurations can be customised based on specific security needs and compliance requirements.
How much does a complete CCTV system cost for my business?
The cost of a complete CCTV system for a business can vary significantly based on several factors, including the number of cameras needed, the type of cameras (e.g., HD, infrared), the complexity of the installation, and any additional features like remote monitoring or advanced analytics. Prices can range from a few thousand dollars for basic systems to tens of thousands for advanced setups. We recommend scheduling a consultation to receive a precise quote tailored to your specific business requirements.
Can I view recorded CCTV footage remotely?
Yes, modern CCTV security cameras are equipped with network capabilities that allow business owners and authorised personnel to view live and recorded footage remotely. This can be accessed via secure apps or software on smartphones, tablets, or desktop computers, providing convenience and real-time monitoring capabilities. This feature is particularly useful for managing multiple business locations or for times when you are away from the premises.
How many CCTV cameras should I have installed?
The number of CCTV cameras you should have installed depends on several factors, including the size and layout of your business premises, the specific areas you need to monitor, and the level of security coverage you require. Here’s how you can determine the appropriate number of camera systems:
Assess the Area: Start by evaluating the areas within and around your premises that need surveillance. Consider all entrances, exits, critical internal areas like cash registers or safes, parking lots, and any vulnerable points that could be potential targets for theft or vandalism.
Determine Coverage Needs: Each camera has a field of view, which is the angle and distance it can effectively capture. Wide-angle lenses cover a larger area but may provide less detail, while narrow-angle lenses capture more detail but in a smaller area. Consider what you need to monitor in each area to determine the type of camera and the coverage it provides.
Strategic Placement: Placing cameras strategically can help reduce the number of cameras needed without sacrificing coverage. For example, positioning a camera at the corner of a building can allow for comprehensive coverage of two sides with one device.
Legal and Privacy Considerations: Ensure that camera placement complies with local laws and privacy regulations. Avoid areas where individuals expect privacy, such as bathrooms or break rooms.
Consult with Professionals: It’s advisable to work with a security professional who can provide a site assessment and help you plan an effective surveillance strategy. They can recommend the best types and placements of cameras based on your specific security needs and the layout of your property.
