A professionally installed four-camera home system in Brisbane starts around $3450.00 including GST. This guide breaks down what that figure should include, what moves it up or down, and why two quotes that look the same on paper are rarely the same job.
Camera installation quotes commonly leave out components that matter: UPS battery backup so the system survives power interruptions, network hardware where the recorder can’t reach the router, or a camera that reads like the one specified but is a lower grade of the same brand. Online package deals carry their own traps: the brand is right, but the stock is often end-of-line, features are stripped, the supplier is offshore, there’s no Australian warranty, and some units can’t be firmware-updated because they aren’t AU-compatible. In our experience quoting against these weekly, the price gap almost always lives in what’s missing and the quality of your installation. A quality installation includes current-spec equipment, concealed cabling to a high professional standard, programming by an experienced technician, and training so the owner can actually use the system.
Prices vary between installers, so rather than quote vague ranges, this pricing is Alltronic’s actual pricing, published as a Brisbane baseline you can compare against. All figures include GST.
Each system below is priced for a single-storey brick veneer home and includes: a 4-channel NVR, four 5 and 6MP cameras soffit-mounted (fibre cement), a 750VA UPS battery backup, installation, commissioning and client training. Pricing assumes the NVR connects directly to the router (no additional network hardware), power exists at the NVR location, and there’s ceiling access to camera positions. Where a home differs, we’ll pick it up when quoting.
Uniview is the workhorse of home CCTV: dependable image quality and an easy app. Upgrade to active deterrence cameras: $102.00 per camera. These cameras respond to an intruder with light and sound rather than just recording them.
Dahua brings strong AI detection at the home level. Upgrade to active deterrence (TiOC): $187.00 per camera. TiOC cameras respond with a spotlight, red and blue strobes, a siren and voice warnings, triggered when someone enters a defined zone. Dahua also offers limited integration into some alarm systems, worth asking about when the system is quoted.
Ajax plays a different game: its cameras are part of a full security ecosystem, with on-camera AI that distinguishes people from vehicles and animals with impressive accuracy, and the option to natively integrate with the Ajax alarm system in one app: a camera detection can activate the alarm itself, with footage delivered in seconds to verify what’s happening. Upgrade to the Ajax HL camera: $70.00 per camera. Full integration pricing varies with the alarm side of the system (sensors, coverage, monitoring), so it’s quoted individually.
All three systems can be upgraded to 4K cameras, and larger homes step up to 8-channel recorders and more cameras. The right system follows the home’s layout and size, its vulnerable points, and the needs and concerns of the people living in it, which is exactly what an experienced installer works out when speccing the system.
Double-storey homes and homes without ceiling access add cabling time. Sites where the recorder can’t reach the router need network hardware. Rendered or masonry walls, longer cable runs and additional cameras all move the number. A proper quote is fixed and itemised, with nothing hidden.
A professionally designed system catches what matters: coverage planned to the property, cabling concealed, recording reliable, and the system set up so you can actually use it. DIY kits can record footage, but coverage gaps and recording that quietly stops are the common outcomes.
Usually because of what’s missing: end-of-line stock, stripped features, no Australian warranty, no UPS, and units that can’t be firmware-updated for Australia. The full guide to comparing quotes is coming soon.
