Security And CCTV Systems In Melbourne
Blunt’s Electrical installs security and CCTV systems in Melbourne, including cameras, alarms, access control, intercoms, NVR recording, remote viewing and practical security upgrades for homes and small businesses.
A reliable security system needs clear camera placement, stable power, clean cabling, sensible storage and a setup that is easy to use day to day.
Service areas:
We service most Melbourne suburbs including Richmond, Kew, Hawthorn, Abbotsford, South Yarra, Balwyn, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Burwood, Toorak, Camberwell, Glen Iris & many more.
Security Systems That Are Reliable And Easy To Use
A security system is only useful if it captures clear footage, stays online, records properly, and lets you quickly find what you need. We install CCTV and security systems for homes, apartments, offices, retail spaces and small commercial sites.
We focus on the fundamentals: stable power, neat cable routing, correct mounting, sensible camera angles, reliable recording and a proper handover so you know how to use the system.

Why Hardwired CCTV Is Usually Best
Wireless cameras can be useful for simple setups, but for serious reliability, a hardwired CCTV system is usually the better long-term option.
More reliable connection than busy household Wi-Fi
Cleaner power and data using PoE cabling to each camera
Better footage quality for faces, movement and details
More scalable if you add cameras later
Our Security Installation Process
Discuss what you want covered — front entry, driveway, garage, side access, backyard or business areas
Plan camera and sensor placement — angles, heights, lighting and blind spots
Confirm the setup — camera count, recorder, storage, cabling and access requirements
Install the system — neat cable runs, secure mounting, labelling and safe power
Set up access — app access, user permissions, notifications and playback basics
Complete handover — how to view live footage, find recordings and change basic settings
Important Things To Know
Camera placement matters. Good coverage depends on height, angle, lighting, entry points and likely movement paths.
Storage needs depend on camera count. More cameras and higher quality footage require more storage space.
Wi-Fi cameras are not always the best choice. Hardwired systems are usually more reliable for long-term use.
App access needs to be set up securely. Strong passwords, permissions and secure account setup are important.
