Elevate Your Business Security: A Step-by-Step Guide to CCTV Installation

Here’s how our team professionally approaches a commercial CCTV installation, ensuring every detail is handled to the highest industry and Australian regulatory standards.

1. Initial Security Consultation

Every project begins with a thorough assessment of your premises. Our licensed technicians walk through your site to understand the layout, identify potential vulnerabilities, and then talk about your specific security goals. This helps us recommend the best CCTV system tailored to your operations, whether it's a warehouse, retail shopfront, office, or multi-site facility.

2. Custom System Design

Using insights from the consultation, we develop a tailored security plan that includes camera placement, storage capacity, remote access needs, and integration with alarm systems if required. We consider lighting conditions, blind spots, and traffic flow to ensure maximum coverage and clarity all while staying compliant with privacy laws and Australian electrical standards.

3. Hardware & Cabling Setup

Once the design is approved, we begin the installation phase. This involves setting up commercial-grade cameras, secure cabling, network video recorders (NVRs), power supplies, and any necessary alarm or motion detection integrations. Our electricians ensure all cabling is concealed where possible and protected in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 standards (Wiring Rules) for safety and longevity.

4. System Configuration & Integration

After the physical installation, we configure the system for optimal performance, setting recording schedules, remote access protocols, alerts, and data storage preferences. If your system includes access via mobile or desktop devices, we ensure secure and user-friendly setup with proper access permissions for authorised personnel.

5. Testing & Quality Assurance

We don’t leave anything to chance. Every camera, cable, and connection is thoroughly tested to confirm coverage, clarity, and recording reliability. We also check that alarms (if installed) are responding correctly and communicating with the CCTV system, so you get a fully integrated security solution.

6. Handover, Training & Ongoing Support

Once the system is operational, our team walks you through how everything works, from viewing footage to accessing archives and responding to alerts. We also offer ongoing maintenance and support packages to keep your system running smoothly as your business evolves. Why Choose Algester Electrical?
