Security Cameras And Alarms Across The Sunshine Coast

Whether it is a family home in Buderim, a beachfront unit at Mooloolaba, a cafe on Ocean Street or a light-industrial unit at Kunda Park, we design the system around your property rather than selling you a box off a shelf. Every new alarm installation includes six months of back-to-base monitoring free with no setup fee, normally $250, and every new CCTV system includes a free Power Back-Up Module worth $149.

We are Brisbane based and have serviced the Sunshine Coast since 2018. Because we travel up, we plan the job to be done in as few visits as possible and we factor travel into the quote up front rather than adding it afterwards. Our technicians are individually licensed for both security and cabling work, hold blue cards, and are Cert III qualified or above.

What We Install

CCTV And Security Cameras

High-resolution cameras with clear night vision, phone viewing from anywhere, and recording retention sized to your property and your insurer.

Home And Business Alarms

Zoned detection, pet-tolerant sensors and instant phone notifications, with per-user codes and separate arming areas for businesses.

Upgrades And Takeovers

If your existing cabling is sound we can reuse it and upgrade the cameras, recorder or alarm panel. Usually far cheaper than starting again.

Built For Coastal Conditions

Salt air, humidity and hard sun destroy cheap equipment on the Sunshine Coast just as fast as anywhere else on the Queensland coast. On beachfront and canal properties we specify weather-rated housings and corrosion-resistant mounts as standard, and we position cameras so glare off water and pale render does not wash out the image at the hours that matter. Unit and body-corporate properties bring their own constraints around shared entries, basement car parks and where cabling is permitted to run, and we work through those before anything is drilled.

How The Installation Works

Five stages, and you know the price before stage three.

  1. Site AssessmentWe come to you, walk the property, map entry points and blind spots, and agree exactly what needs covering.
  2. Fixed Written QuoteA fixed price and a full plan before anything is ordered, with travel already factored in.
  3. InstallationLicensed technicians install and commission the system in one visit wherever possible, so we are not back and forth up the highway.
  4. Setup And HandoverSecured with your own credentials rather than defaults, app configured and tested, and a walkthrough for everyone who needs it.
  5. Ongoing SupportFree 24/7 remote support and automatic updates, so most issues are fixed without another site visit.

What Affects The Cost

We quote fixed prices after an on-site assessment. These are the factors that move the number.

Camera or zone countThe main driver. Four to six cameras, or four to eight alarm zones, covers most homes.
Cable runs and accessSingle-storey with roof access is straightforward. Double-storey, rendered walls or concrete take longer.
New install or upgradeSound existing cabling can often be reused, which brings the cost down considerably.
Cameras and alarm togetherDoing both in one visit is cheaper than two separate jobs, particularly given the travel.
Recording retentionTwo weeks or thirty days changes the recorder and storage required.
Property typeBody-corporate and commercial sites need extra coordination, permits or after-hours access.

Who We Install For

  • HomesHouses, duplexes, beachfront and acreage properties.
  • UnitsBody-corporate common areas, entries and car parks.
  • HospitalityCafes, restaurants and bars, including after-hours coverage.
  • RetailShopfronts, till areas and stockrooms.
  • WarehousesYard, perimeter and dock coverage.
  • Holiday LetsEntry monitoring and property protection between guests.

What You Get

  • Identifiable FootageClear night vision so you get faces and plates, not a grey shape.
  • Alerts To Your PhoneInstant notification the moment a camera or alarm zone is triggered.
  • Pet-Tolerant SensorsAlarm detection tuned so the dog does not set it off at 2am.
  • 24/7 Remote SupportMost issues resolved without another trip up the highway.
  • Automatic UpdatesFirmware and security patches applied remotely.
  • Free With Every InstallSix months of back-to-base monitoring on new alarm systems, or a $149 power back-up module on new CCTV systems.

To be clear about what this is: our secure remote server gives you technical support and automatic firmware updates for your equipment. That is separate from alarm monitoring, which we do offer, both 24/7 back-to-base through an Australian monitoring centre and self-monitored.

I cannot speak highly enough of these guys, every time I need help they go above and beyond. They do a top quality job at a competitive price. But the best thing they have going for them is the customer support.

Common Questions

Do you actually service the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. We are Brisbane-based and cover the Sunshine Coast as part of our regular service area, from Caloundra and Kawana through Mooloolaba, Maroochydore and Buderim up to Coolum, Peregian and Noosa. Travel is factored into the quote up front rather than added afterwards.
How much does a security system cost on the Sunshine Coast?
It depends on camera or zone count, cable runs, and whether we are installing fresh or upgrading what is already there. We assess on site and quote a fixed price before any work starts. Call 1300 373 805 for a free, no-obligation quote.
Do you monitor the cameras or alarm for me?
For alarms, yes. We provide 24/7 back-to-base alarm monitoring through an Australian monitoring centre, and self-monitored setups where the alarm notifies you directly. CCTV is different: cameras record locally and you view them from your phone, and we provide 24/7 technical support and automatic security updates rather than a watched camera feed.
Will equipment last near the water?
The equipment we specify will. Coastal Sunshine Coast properties get the same weather-rated housings and corrosion-resistant mounts we use on the Gold Coast canals. Standard retail hardware pits and fails quickly in salt air.
Can you do both cameras and an alarm at the same time?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper to do them together. One site visit, one cable run where they overlap, one handover. We quote them as a single job so you can see what each part costs.
How many cameras do I need?
Four to six covers most homes properly: front entry, rear entry, driveway or garage, and the side access people forget. Correct placement of fewer cameras beats a large number of badly aimed ones.
Will pets set the alarm off?
Not if it is specified correctly. We use pet-tolerant sensors and set detection zones around how your household actually lives. Badly placed sensors are the usual cause of false alarms in homes with dogs or cats.
Can you upgrade an existing system?
Often yes. If existing cabling is sound we can frequently reuse it and upgrade the cameras, recorder or alarm panel, which is considerably cheaper than starting again. We assess what is there before recommending either way.
What happens in a blackout?
Every system we install includes an industry-standard back-up battery, so your cameras keep recording and your alarm stays armed through a power failure. If you need a specific runtime we can size the battery to suit, whether that is four hours or four days.
What warranty comes with the work?
A 12-month comprehensive warranty, a minimum three-year parts warranty and a five-year workmanship warranty, with extended options available.
