Security Cameras

Australia's complete range of security cameras for residential, commercial, and industrial applications — whether you need a single security camera for a back door or a multi-channel system for a warehouse. Every camera we stock is an IP network model from a trusted brand, with PoE power, ONVIF compatibility, and full Australian warranty support. Whether you call them security cameras, CCTV cameras, or IP cameras, our range covers every common form factor, resolution, and feature set — backed by our Perth-based pre-sales team and Sydney warehouse dispatch.

Choosing the right security camera

Picking the right security camera depends on three things: where it's mounted (indoor vs outdoor), how much detail you need (resolution), and whether you want AI features to filter false alerts. The sections below walk through each decision in order.

Types of security cameras

Turret cameras — most popular for outdoor residential and commercial use. Compact, vandal-resistant, with built-in IR cut for clean night images.
Dome cameras — discreet ceiling-mount form factor for indoor retail, offices and reception; IK10 vandal-rated outdoor variants also available.
Bullet cameras — long-range outdoor surveillance with extended IR. Visible deterrent design suits driveways and perimeters.
PTZ cameras — motorised pan / tilt / zoom for large outdoor areas, carparks and active monitoring. Operator-controllable or auto-tracking.
Panoramic / multi-sensor cameras — 180° or 360° coverage from a single device, ideal for open retail or warehouse aisles.

Resolution: 2MP to 12MP / 4K

Match resolution to viewing distance and the detail you need. 2MP (1080p) suits general monitoring of driveways and doorways. 4MP is our most popular tier — sharp enough to read number plates and identify faces at typical residential distances. 6MP adds detail for larger areas. 4K (8MP) and 12MP suit wide outdoor sites or recordings you regularly zoom into.

Indoor vs outdoor security cameras

Outdoor security cameras in our range carry an IP66 or IP67 weather rating, suitable for full exposure to Australian conditions — coastal salt air, summer heat and tropical rain. Indoor models are built for sheltered environments such as retail floors, offices and reception, with a discreet form factor and built-in microphones for clear audio capture.

AI detection

Modern security cameras include on-camera AI to dramatically reduce false alerts. Look for these brand-specific features when shopping:

Hikvision AcuSense — human and vehicle classification, sub-second motion analysis, strobe / audio deterrent on detection.
Hikvision ColorVu — full-colour night vision via large F1.0 aperture and ambient-light sensor.
Dahua WizSense — human / vehicle / non-motor classification, SMD Plus filtering.
Axis ARTPEC analytics — line crossing, intrusion, loitering, traffic counting (enterprise tier).

Brands stocked

We stock Hikvision, HiLook, Dahua, Axis and IDIS security cameras — all with full Australian warranty.

Pair these cameras with a matched NVR recorder for a complete system, or save with a CCTV camera package that bundles cameras + NVR + cables + HDD. Looking for network-specific models?

Frequently asked questions

How many security cameras do I need?

Most single-storey homes are well covered by 4 security cameras at the front door, back door, driveway, and a side gate. Two-storey homes and larger properties typically benefit from 6 to 8 cameras to cover upper-storey approaches and yard perimeters. Commercial sites usually need 16 channels or more.

What resolution security camera is best?

For most Australian homes, a 4MP (2560×1440) security camera is the sweet spot — sharp enough to identify faces and read number plates at typical residential distances without the heavy storage demands of 4K. Step up to 4K (8MP) for wide outdoor areas or sites where you zoom deeply into recorded footage.

Are security cameras difficult to install?

If you buy a complete package (cameras + matched NVR + cabling + hard drive), DIY installation typically takes a few hours per camera with basic tools — drill, screwdriver, ladder. The cameras self-discover when plugged into a PoE-enabled NVR. For complex commercial installs, we can refer licensed installers in major Australian cities.

How many CCTV cameras do I need?

Same answer as security cameras — 4 covers a single-storey home, 6–8 for two-storey or larger, 16+ for commercial. Counts entry points and sightlines rather than rooms.
