Renovating in Melbourne? What to Pre-Wire Before the Walls Close Up

Once the plasterboard goes up, running new cables turns into a messy, expensive job. Before the walls close, there is a short window to do it properly and cheaply. Auztech Security helps Melbourne renovators plan their pre-wiring so the home is ready for years of technology.

What to Pre-Wire

Plan Before You Wire

Walk through each room with your builder or electrician and decide where TVs, cameras, access points and furniture will go. A short plan prevents "we should have put a cable there" regret.

Use Quality Cable and Conduit

  • Cat6 is a sensible minimum for network and camera cabling
  • Conduit in key runs lets you add or replace cables later
  • Labelling every cable end saves hours when you connect things up

Hide the Hardware, Keep It Reachable

Think about where the central hub, recorder and network gear will live. A small, ventilated cabinet or cupboard with power gives you a neat result and easy access.

Think Beyond Today

Technology changes, but cables inside walls stay. Adding a few spare runs and conduit now is cheap insurance for future cameras, access points or a new screen.

Why a Security Installer Pre-Wires

We install cameras, alarms and networks daily, so we know exactly where cables need to go for the best result. That avoids clashes with other trades and keeps your home security system tidy and reliable, anywhere in security systems Melbourne.

  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...
