CCTV Camera Price in Melbourne: What You'll Really Pay in 2026

"How much is CCTV?" is the first question almost everyone asks us. The honest answer is it depends, but that doesn't help you budget. So here is a plain-English guide to CCTV camera price in Melbourne, from the team at Auztech Security.

The Quick Answer

Entry-level home packages typically start from around $1,200, with a 4-camera 6MP system starting from about $2,300. Larger homes and businesses cost more. These are starting figures, so always get a written quote for your property.

What Actually Drives the Price?

  • Number of cameras: every extra camera adds hardware and cabling
  • Resolution: 4MP, 6MP and 8MP cameras are priced differently
  • Brand and features: AI detection, night colour and wide-angle lenses cost more
  • Recorder and storage: more cameras and higher resolution need bigger hard drives
  • House type: a single-storey brick home is quicker than a double-storey with tricky roof access
  • Cable runs: long, hidden cabling takes more time
  • Extras: remote viewing, extra storage, monitors or integration with an alarm

Where People Waste Money

  1. Buying too many cameras: four well-placed cameras beat eight badly placed ones
  2. Chasing megapixels: 8MP isn't needed everywhere
  3. Cheap kits with no support: low price now, expensive replacement later
  4. Hidden call-out and setup fees: always ask what's included

What a Good Quote Includes

A proper quote for CCTV installation Melbourne should list the cameras, recorder, storage size, cabling, installation, setup of phone viewing and warranty. At Auztech there are no call-out fees, and our packages are clearly listed so you can compare. Browse our Hikvision, Dahua and HiLook packages to see real starting prices.

Is It Worth It?

For most families, a modern CCTV camera for home setup costs less than many insurance excesses, and it gives you evidence, deterrence and peace of mind every day. Pair it with alarm security to protect the home when nobody's there.

  The Best Home Security Camera System in 2026: An Installer’s Honest Comparison Every “best security camera” article you’ve read was written by someone who has never drilled a hole in a wall. They rank cameras by spec sheet. We install these systems in Melbourne homes every week, then get called back when something doesn’t work — which teaches you very different things about which cameras are actually good. This is a straight comparison of the four brands we install: Dahua , Hikvision , HiLook and Uniview . We stock all of them. We have no reason to push you toward one. First: The Thing Nobody Tells You The brand matters less than the install. A $2,000 camera system mounted at the wrong height, aimed at the wrong angle, with the recorder sitting in plain sight by the front door, is worse than an $800 system installed properly. The three things that actually determine whether your cameras identify an intruder: Height and angle. Cameras mounted too high see the top of a head. 2.5-3...
