CCTV & Video Surveillance

Professional CCTV installation and video surveillance for homes, businesses, farms and remote properties.

SpaceTek IT & Communications designs, installs and supports CCTV systems suited to your property and security requirements. From camera positioning and reliable wired networks to local NVR recording, remote viewing and ongoing maintenance, we help you build a practical surveillance system that works for your site.

Our Mildura-based team can also assist with CCTV networking between buildings, rural connectivity and solar-powered surveillance solutions where conventional infrastructure is limited.

Professional CCTV Installation & IVSEC Systems

SpaceTek's preferred CCTV brand is IVSEC. For permanent home, business and rural installations, we generally recommend properly positioned wired PoE IP cameras with a compatible local Network Video Recorder (NVR). We consider what you need to see, the level of image detail required, cabling, power, night-time conditions, recording capacity and suitable remote access before recommending a system.

Unlike buying a box of cameras and hoping they cover the right areas, a professionally designed installation includes planning, protected cabling, mounting, configuration and testing. Particular IVSEC capabilities and warranty or support inclusions depend on the selected models and agreed quotation.

CCTV Designed for Your Site

SpaceTek helps customers plan camera locations, recording and network arrangements for homes, business premises, workshops, farms and remote sites. Effective CCTV starts with a clear view of what you want to monitor and the site constraints.

Rather than choosing a camera count first, we discuss the entry points, operational areas, lighting, coverage and recording objectives.

CCTV for Homes & Businesses

Homeowners may want visibility over access points, vehicles and outbuildings. Businesses may need coverage for entrances, yards, stock areas and operations. The solution can include suitable cameras, recording devices, network equipment and viewing arrangements depending on scope.

Every installation should consider privacy, lawful placement, access to recordings and appropriate security of connected devices.

Farm & Remote Property Surveillance

Remote sheds, yards and infrastructure often have power, distance and connectivity challenges. SpaceTek can investigate suitable wireless bridges, Starlink networking and solar-powered options where conventional cabling or mains power is impractical.

Remote access requires suitable connectivity and must not be represented as guaranteed in every location.

Wired PoE Cameras & NVR Recording

For permanent CCTV we generally prefer wired Power over Ethernet (PoE) cameras rather than individual cameras relying on ordinary household Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is affected by shared-spectrum congestion, walls, steel buildings and radio interference, including possible deliberate jamming. Wired links avoid that specific wireless dependency, but the cameras, switches, cabling, NVR and power supply still need to be properly protected and maintained.

A suitable local NVR can keep recording during an internet outage when the cameras, recorder, local network and power remain operational. We size storage and recording settings according to the site rather than promising a fixed number of days of retention.

No Ongoing Subscription for Standard Remote Viewing

With compatible SpaceTek-installed IVSEC NVR systems, standard remote live viewing and supported recorded-footage playback through the free IVSEC X app do not require an ongoing remote-viewing subscription. Your footage is stored locally on the NVR, subject to its recording and storage configuration.

Viewing cameras from elsewhere still needs a working internet connection, compatible equipment and secure configuration. Your internet or mobile data charges, optional services, and any separately agreed ongoing maintenance or support are separate. Some other camera systems also offer free viewing, so the benefit should be assessed against the specific alternatives.

Where buildings are widely separated, SpaceTek may use professionally engineered point-to-point wireless links to connect building networks while keeping the individual cameras hardwired locally. Wireless backhaul must still be assessed for line of sight, capacity, interference and power.

CCTV Installation, Maintenance & Support

We can assess the site, plan cable or wireless links, mount and connect compatible equipment, configure the agreed system and demonstrate basic operation. After installation, we can discuss maintenance, changes and troubleshooting support.

Ask what ongoing support is included rather than assuming indefinite free assistance.

Examples of Problems We Solve

A farm wants to view a remote shed; a business needs coverage across a yard; a homeowner cannot connect a camera beyond the range of the house Wi-Fi. These are typical scenarios for site-specific assessment, not claims about unnamed completed jobs.

Our combined IT, networking and communications experience helps us consider the entire path from camera to recorder and network.

Request a CCTV Quote

Send the property type, location, important coverage areas, approximate distances, existing cameras, power availability and how you expect to view recordings. We can propose an appropriate scope and identify any site inspection required.

For remote cameras, tell us whether mobile coverage, NBN, Starlink or a wireless link is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you network cameras between buildings? Often, if suitable links are feasible. Can CCTV work without mains power? Certain designs can, subject to solar and battery engineering. Can I view cameras away from site? Depending on system capabilities, network access and security configuration. Can you upgrade an old system? We can inspect compatibility and advise.
