Our own job: a solar-powered camera pole

The builder stood the pole. We built and fitted the cabinet, mounted the solar panel and the Hanwha Wisenet PTZ camera, and had it working.

  1. Step 1 The pole goes up

    The builder stood the pole. We came in from here and installed everything else.

  2. Step 2 The cabinet is built

    The control cabinet was built and wired on the bench first, so it was ready to fit.

    The control cabinet open on the bench, with its equipment wired up, next to the camera box
  3. Step 3 The cabinet goes on the pole

    The cabinet fitted to the pole, with the cable run in conduit.

  4. Step 4 The panel and camera go up

    The solar panel and the Hanwha Wisenet PTZ camera lifted into place at the top of the pole.

What Are CCTV Security Systems?

CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) is a video surveillance system that captures, records and securely stores footage for authorised viewing only. A commercial-grade system typically includes cameras, recorders, storage devices and video management software for live and recorded monitoring. It's used to deter crime, verify incidents, and provide valuable evidence when needed.

Why Install CCTV?

CCTV acts as a strong deterrent and provides critical clarity during incidents. Many regions record noticeable reductions in local crime once CCTV coverage is introduced. In Alice Springs, cameras add a vital layer of protection for businesses and remote sites, helping safeguard people, places and equipment.

CCTV Maintenance in Alice Springs

Camera gone blurry, stopped recording, or lost its picture at night? Ring 0438 478 116. We service and check CCTV systems in Alice Springs, fix what has failed, and upgrade ageing analogue systems to IP.

Red dust and heat are what wear a camera system down here. A service looks at:

  • Lenses and housings cleaned of dust, so the picture is clear day and night
  • Camera angles and focus checked against what you need to see
  • Recording checked: the recorder is saving footage and the storage is healthy
  • Night vision (infrared) working on every camera
  • Power, cabling and connections, including any UPS or solar backing the system
  • Software updates, passwords and remote viewing on your phone

Tell us the camera brand and what is wrong when you ring, and we will tell you straight whether it needs a service, a repair or an upgrade.

Security Systems in Alice Springs

A security system is usually three parts working together: cameras that record (CCTV), access control that decides who gets in, and intrusion and perimeter detection that raises the alarm. We design and install all three for homes and businesses in Alice Springs: Hanwha IP cameras, and Gallagher access control, intrusion detection and perimeter security as a Gallagher SMB Solution Partner.

Worth deciding before you get a quote:

  • What you need to catch: theft, a perimeter breach, a safety incident
  • Whether you need faces and number plates, or just movement
  • How you will view it, and whether the site has reliable internet
  • What should happen in a power outage

Want to choose the cameras yourself? Browse the Hanwha camera range, add the models you like to a list, and we quote to supply and install.

From shops and depots to industrial yards and remote sites, we engineer coverage that delivers reliable 24/7 visibility, even in harsh, remote NT environments.

IP / Network CCTV, Built to Fit Your Site

We design and install IP / network camera systems. Delivered over Cat5/6/6A cabling or secure Wi-Fi (see our WiFi and data cabling work) for higher resolution, remote access, analytics, motion detection and night vision, built to scale cleanly as your site grows.

Questions we work through with you

  • Do you need to meet specific policies (e.g. NDAA compliance)?
  • What incidents do you want to capture (theft, perimeter breach, OH&S)?
  • Do you need higher image detail (plates/faces)?
  • Will you verify alarms with video, or integrate with access control?
  • Do you need remote monitoring or multi-site visibility?

We'll assess your risks, layout and infrastructure, then recommend the system that meets your compliance, clarity and budget requirements.

  • Industrial sites: workshops, depots and plant
  • Shops & offices: 24/7 monitoring, controlled access & evidential recording
  • Remote communities: solar-powered camera poles for sites without mains power

Service areas: Alice Springs, Braitling, Ciccone, The Gap, Sadadeen, Desert Springs, and remote regions up to 500km.

Smart Security, Backed by Real Partnerships

We don't install "cheap and cheerful." We build integrated security networks that combine surveillance, access control, and monitoring. Engineered for insurance and regulatory compliance.

  • Hanwha: high-definition imaging and durability
  • Gallagher: access control, intrusion detection & perimeter deterrence
  • Scalable: expand coverage as your site grows
  • Remote access: manage and review events anywhere
  • Power resilience: integrate with electrical and solar systems

The goal: intelligent security that prevents problems, not just records them.

Access Control & Perimeter Security, Gallagher SMB Solution Partner

Cameras record what happened. Gallagher controls who gets in, and helps stop a problem at the perimeter before it becomes an incident. As a Gallagher SMB Solution Partner, we design and install access control, intrusion detection, and perimeter detection & deterrence. Integrated with your existing electrical, camera and alarm systems rather than bolted on beside them.

  • Access control: card, fob and coded entry across doors, gates and secure areas
  • Intrusion detection: sensors and alarms that flag a breach the moment it happens
  • Perimeter detection & deterrence: fence lines, yards and remote-site boundaries monitored and protected, not just recorded after the fact
  • Third-party integrations: Gallagher connects with your CCTV, alarms and site-management systems. One command view, not three separate logins

This is exactly what a site with a fence line and no one on it overnight needs most. A controlled, monitored perimeter, not just a recording after the fact. In Alice Springs that's a genuine point of difference, not a checkbox.

Questions Alice Springs customers ask

Do you service and repair existing CCTV systems?

Yes. We service, check and repair CCTV systems in Alice Springs, and upgrade ageing analogue systems to IP. Tell us the camera brand and the problem when you ring.

Why has my camera stopped recording?

The usual causes are a full or failed hard drive in the recorder, a power or network fault, or a setting changed after an update. A service checks all three.

Do security cameras work at night?

Yes. Low-light sensors and infrared illumination provide usable vision at night.

Can cameras work without internet?

Yes. They can record locally via NVRs or SD storage and be cabled for viewing.

Are CCTV systems secure from hacking?

Standalone systems are less exposed. For cloud/Wi-Fi systems we implement hardening, strong credentials and updates.

Why is my camera footage poor quality?

Outdated cameras, incorrect settings, or inadequate lighting are the usual causes. We specify lenses and resolutions to match the scene.

What happens in a power outage?

Cameras require power. We can integrate UPS/solar and electrical upgrades for resilience.

Can CCTV footage be used as evidence?

Often, provided it's obtained and retained in line with local laws and guidelines. We set up best-practice storage and audit trails.
