Do you need a highly experienced and professional Verges Creek security camera installer? We can advise, supply and install any CCTV system for Verges Creek residential or commercial needs. Typically our Verges Creek surveillance systems come with the following features, which we are confident is suitable, reliable and cost-effective for residential homes, farms, and commerical businesses. Here is a list of our typical features:
When it comes to critical infrastructure for tier 1 companies and government, there are some outstanding options - however they are expensive! Some features include:
Most security camera systems support motion detection via vision. However using vision only is known to be unreliable (i.e. cause false positives). Vision-based motion detection can be triggered via rain, insects, moving shadows (e.g. from clouds), and might miss small or slow objects.
For more reliable motion detection, you need to add more advanced software and/or sensors.
Some advanced software options are AI-based people/vehicle recognition. Currently technology allows setting up of virtual trip-wires (aka perimeter protection) and/or face recognition.
Some additional sensor options are PIR and radar sensors. Both PIR and radar have a 120° field of view. PIR is cost-effective, however only 12 metres range, and not the best for outdoor/sunlight. Radar allows up to 50 metres, works in bad weather such as rain or snow, and can track target position and velocity - allowing target tracking via PTZ cameras!
Once you have reliable motion detection - you can confidently use it for instant notification via email, mobile phone push notification and/or trigger sirens, strobe, and have a speaker/horn say someting to the intruder.

Most cameras have built-in IR for night vision, rated to 30m or 50m. However, it's not the best. To improve night vision, consider an external IR illuminator, which is like a floodlight, that human eyes can't see. They are simply powered via 12Vdc and do not need to be placed near the camera - in some ways, elsewhere is better (e.g. area of concern, or area of weak/poor night vision). Here is an example of what you can expect when moving from a camera with 50m rated built-in IR, to a 150m rated 60° field of view external IR illuminator, where the far edge of the pool is about 25m from the camera.
When most people think wireless, they forget about power. In most cases wireless systems are only for data, and therefore still required wired power. From our experience there are two cases to use wireless:
For large span installations, trenching is costly and risky, so we recommand to bridge the gap with wireless links instead. For example. Building A, might have 4x wired Security Cameras for Verges Creek, and building B might have 8x wired Security Cameras for Verges Creek. So we simply link the buildings with one wireless link. We generally use 900MHz or 5GHz wireless transceivers, that can go up to 15km line of sight. For most cases we can use 5GHz. However if we need the wireless signal to go around corners, over a mountain, or penetration objects, buildings and/or dense foliage, we would use 900MHz.
From our early evening tests, a 8MP security camera using a 12mm lens can see Australia licence plates at about 35 metres. So in theory we have the following MegaPixel (MP) vs range for reading licence plates, assuming a 12mm lens:
If you just need a security camera to see licence plates, then you just need to select a suitable lens and MegaPixel (MP) security camera for your target range. However if your objective is to automatically recognise a licence plate, and perhaps match it against a database for access control. Then please see our Licence Plate Recognition LPR/ANPR services.
If you're goal is to read licence plates, we'd suggest an 8MP optical zoom camera, as the 12MP option is typically too expensive.
In the previous section we discussed that typically a wireless solution requires power. For remote security camera installations, power is not available. In this case, we can use batteries and/or solar. It should be well understood that a solar solution is not cost-effective and can be not aesthetically pleasing. To give you an idea - for one security video camera and one wireless transceiver to continously run day and night will require: about 200W solar panel (in most areas of East Coast Australia), batteries, solar charger, etc, and will cost about $1800 in materials, not including the security camera, wireless transceiver, or galvanised pole.
We are experienced with installation of standard security camera systems for your expensive home, office, warehouse, street or highway. We even offer more complex CCTV solutions which may require features such as:

When thinking about a security camera system, you may like to consider the following options:
Traditional analogue Security Cameras for Verges Creek resolution is rated 700TVL. In digital terms that is equivalent to only 0.5MP! With IP Security Cameras for Verges Creek, you can get 1MP (i.e. 720p), 2MP (i.e. 1080p), 4MP (i.e. double 1080p!) and 12MP. Here is a image showing the difference between 700TVL and a 2MP IP security camera:
Focal Length of Lens | 1/3" Imaging Sensor | 1/4" Imaging Sensor |
2.8mm | 82° | 65° |
3.7mm | 65° | 53° |
4mm | 62° | 50° |
4.8mm | 53° | 42° |
6mm | 44° | 34° |
8mm | 34° | 27° |
12mm | 23° | 18° |
16mm | 17° | 13° |
25mm | 11° | 9° |
50mm | 5° | 4° |
75mm | 3° | 2.5° |
Where can I buy security cameras? Where is the best place to buy security cameras? There are many low budget CCTV systems you can purchase for Bunnings, Dicksmith, Jaycar, etc, such as Swann, Signet, Techview, Cocoon, Foscam, etc. Here is our Swann security cameras review. We DO NOT recommend Swann, etc for these reasons:
We appreicate the cost of a high MegaPixel (MP) wired security installation is an investment. However if you can't afford such a security camera system, then we are aware of one option that is cost-effective for home and small businesses. That system is known as the Netgear ARLO Smart Home Security - 4 HD Camera Security System. It costs $799 for 4x 1MP (i.e. 720p) cameras, records to the cloud, and is 100% wire-free (batteries life is about 4 to 6 months). It is typically a DIY solution. We do NOT recommend ALRO for these reasons:

As you maybe aware - any security camera installer must be licensed by law. Furthermore, any security firm that has installers must be a member of a security organisation such as ASIAL Corporate Membership. This ensures police have the finger prints of all CCTV installers, and all security firms are held to a constitution, code of professional conduct, policies and procedures. It should also be noted one is not allowed to use the ASIAL logo unless they have been a member for a least two years. For your peace of mind, here are our lience and membership details:
