Home CCTV Installation Day: What Really Happens, Step by Step

Letting a stranger loose with a drill in your home can feel stressful. So here is exactly what happens on install day, so there are no surprises. This is how the team at Auztech Security runs every home CCTV installation.

Step 1: Site Check and Plan

Before anything is drilled, the technician walks your property with you. Together you confirm where each camera will go, how cables will run and where the recorder will live. This is the moment to raise privacy concerns and ask questions.

Step 2: Protect Your Home

We lay drop sheets, wear shoe covers if you prefer and keep tools tidy. Pets and kids stay safe because we tell you before we start any roof or ladder work.

Step 3: Run the Cabling

Cables are run through the roof space, wall cavities and under the eaves wherever possible, so you won't see messy wires. A professional CCTV camera installation Melbourne hides the cables as much as it can and weatherproofs every outdoor connection.

Step 4: Mount the Cameras

Each camera is fixed at the planned height and angle, then adjusted while we watch the live picture. We check for glare, sun, reflections and blind spots, not just that it "turns on".

Step 5: Set Up the Recorder

The recorder is placed somewhere safe and ventilated, and the hard drive is configured. We set recording modes, motion detection zones and storage so footage is kept for as long as you need.

Step 6: Connect Your Phone

We install the app on your phone, link your cameras and show you how to watch live, play back footage and share clips. We also secure the system with strong passwords and updated firmware.

Step 7: Test and Walk Through

Before we leave, we test every camera by day and, if possible, check night views. Then we walk you through the system and tidy up.

How Long Does It Take?

A typical 4-camera home usually takes half a day to a full day, depending on access and house type.

Quick FAQ

Do I need to be home? Yes, at least at the start and end of the visit.

Will you drill into brick? Where needed, yes, and we patch and seal neatly.

The Best Home Security Camera System in 2026: An Installer’s Honest Comparison

  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...
