CCTV INSTALLATION YAMBA

SECURITY CAMERAS DONE PROPERLY

The difference between a CCTV system that actually protects your property and one that just looks impressive comes down to design. Camera placement, lens choice, resolution, low-light performance, storage sizing, network configuration and physical cable protection all matter. Cheap kits from a hardware store might record something, but when you actually need to identify a face or a number plate, they routinely fail.

Assemble Electrical installs professional-grade CCTV systems designed around your property. We survey the site, walk through your specific concerns — front door deliveries, driveway access, shed and boat storage, holiday rental turnover, back-of-house access at your café — and design a camera layout that gives you evidence-quality footage of the areas that matter.

Every system we install is IP-based, recorded to a dedicated NVR (Network Video Recorder), and set up with secure remote viewing so you can check in from your phone whether you are at work in Grafton or on holiday interstate. Data stays on your NVR — not on someone else's cloud — with encrypted remote access for you and anyone you authorise.

Camera placement. A single well-placed camera at the right angle is more valuable than four bad ones. We cover the actual approach paths, not just walls. Entrances get overhead-facing cameras for identification. Driveways get long-lens cameras positioned to catch number plates.

Lens and resolution matched to the job. A wide-angle camera covering a large yard is useless for identifying faces at the front door. We mix wide-angle overview cameras with narrower-lens identification cameras where it matters.

Low-light performance. Most incidents happen at night. We specify true low-light and infrared cameras with adequate IR range for the distances involved. Dark, grainy night footage is a design failure, not a limitation of the technology.

Proper cabling. Cat6 in conduit or UV-rated cable clipped tidily under eaves. Not zip-tied to a gutter and left to weather in the Yamba salt air.

Secure network setup. Cameras isolated on their own VLAN or subnet where possible, default passwords always changed, firmware kept up to date, remote access through the manufacturer's secure app rather than open port forwards.

Adequate storage. We size the recorder for at least two to four weeks of continuous recording at the resolution and frame rate you actually need — long enough to notice an incident and pull the footage before it is overwritten.

Privacy compliance. Cameras positioned so they capture your property, not the neighbour's living room. For holiday rentals, we follow current NSW short-term rental accommodation code requirements — external areas only, clearly disclosed to guests.
