CCTV FAQ Knowledge
Which security cameras Brisbane systems do you use?
We install diverse wired and wireless CCTV systems including AI-turret cameras for homeowners and commercial spaces across the city.
How many units are needed for my property?

Is mobile remote viewing supported?
Absolutely. We configure secure remote access so you can view live streams and playback from any smart device instantly.
Do you provide equipment or can you install my personal hardware?
While we supply top-tier hardware, we can also manage the CCTV installation Rochedale of your own equipment if it meets our strict performance criteria.
Will the setup process damage my roofing or walls?
Our technicians utilize precise drilling and specialized sealing techniques to ensure your structural integrity remains perfect.
Can the cameras see in total darkness?
Yes. The security cameras Brisbane locals receive from us feature infrared or ColorVu tech for clear nighttime vision.

This depends on the hard drive size. We tailor your storage settings to ensure you have weeks of accessible recorded security footage.

Is your workmanship covered by a local warranty?

Best place to install CCTV cameras in Brisbane homes?
The best CCTV camera locations for a Brisbane home depend on your property layout, entry points and security risks. As a general rule, cameras should cover the areas where someone is most likely to approach, enter or move around your property.
For most Brisbane homes, we recommend considering CCTV cameras at:
-
Front entrance: Capture visitors approaching your front door and the surrounding driveway or pathway.
-
Driveway and garage: Monitor vehicles, garage doors and anyone approaching from the street.
-
Side access: Side gates and narrow pathways can provide easy access to the rear of a property and are often overlooked.
-
Backyard and rear entry: Cover rear doors, patios, entertaining areas and other access points.
-
Pool or outdoor areas: Where appropriate, cameras can help monitor access to outdoor areas and improve overall property visibility.
-
High-risk or hidden areas: Areas with limited visibility from inside the home may benefit from additional coverage.
For the best results, CCTV cameras should generally be positioned high enough to reduce the risk of tampering while still capturing clear facial images. Avoid pointing cameras directly towards bright sunlight, and position them to minimise blind spots and overlapping areas.
At VJ's Electrical & AV Solutions, we can assess your Brisbane property and recommend a CCTV camera layout based on your home's entry points, surroundings and security requirements. We install security camera systems for homes throughout Brisbane and can help you choose the right combination of camera locations, coverage and recording options.
How much does security camera installation cost in Brisbane?
The cost depends on the number of cameras, camera type, cable runs, access difficulty, recording equipment and whether electrical or network work is required. A two-camera installation will generally be significantly different from a multi-camera commercial system.
How long can CCTV footage be stored?
The amount of time CCTV footage can be stored depends on the size and configuration of your security camera system. Some systems may store footage for only a few days, while others can retain recordings for several weeks or longer.
CCTV storage retention is affected by several factors, including:
-
Number of cameras – More cameras recording at the same time will use more storage space.
-
Camera resolution – Higher-resolution cameras, such as 4K cameras, generally require more storage than lower-resolution cameras.
-
Recording mode – Continuous 24/7 recording uses significantly more storage than motion-activated or scheduled recording.
-
Frame rate – Recording at a higher number of frames per second creates more data and reduces the available storage period.
-
Compression – The video compression technology used by the CCTV system can significantly affect how efficiently footage is stored.
-
Hard drive capacity – Larger hard drives can store more footage and generally provide a longer recording retention period.
During your security camera installation, VJ's Electrical & AV Solutions can help you select a suitable recording and storage configuration based on the number of cameras, the level of image quality required and how long you would like footage to be retained. We can also discuss options such as motion recording and increased storage capacity to help maximise your CCTV recording time.
Can security cameras work during a power outage?
Yes, security cameras can continue operating during a power outage if the CCTV system is connected to a suitable Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
A UPS can provide temporary backup power to equipment such as security cameras, PoE switches, NVRs, routers and other network equipment. The available runtime will depend on the power requirements of your system and the capacity of the UPS.
VJ's Electrical & AV Solutions can help assess your CCTV system and recommend a suitable backup power solution to keep your security cameras operating during power interruptions.
Can security cameras be installed without visible cables?
Yes. In many cases, security camera cables can be concealed within walls, ceilings, roof spaces or conduit to provide a neat and professional installation.
The available options will depend on the construction and layout of your property. VJ's Electrical & AV Solutions will assess the best cable pathway and aim to minimise visible cabling wherever practical.
Do I need permission to install security cameras in Queensland?
In most cases, you do not need specific permission to install security cameras on your own home or business in Queensland. However, cameras should be positioned responsibly and should not unnecessarily record areas where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Additional requirements may apply to rental properties, strata or body corporate buildings, workplaces and other shared spaces.
VJ's Electrical & AV Solutions can help you plan the placement of your security cameras to provide effective coverage while considering privacy and the specific requirements of your property.
