Do I have to tell staff about workplace cameras?

Usually, yes. The rules differ by state. In NSW, the Workplace Surveillance Act requires 14 days written notice before camera surveillance starts, plus clear signs. We place signs as part of the install and point you to the rules for your state.

Which brands do you install?

Mostly UniFi Protect cameras and UniFi Access door readers, because there is no ongoing per-camera or per-door licence. Where a site needs something else, we say so and quote it.

Can staff use their phones to open doors?

Yes. Along with cards, fobs and PIN codes, staff can tap their phone, including Apple Wallet on iPhone. Visitors can be sent access for a set day and time.

How long is footage kept?

That depends on how many cameras you have and how much storage is in the recorder. We size it to what you need, commonly a few weeks, and tell you the figure before you buy.

Do you work outside Brisbane?

Yes. We have people and partners in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Albury for installs, and support systems remotely anywhere in Australia.

Cameras and door access

Know who came in, and see what happened.

Keys that never came back, a camera system nobody can log in to, footage that was overwritten before anyone looked. Most business security was installed once and forgotten.

We install cameras and door access that work together, and look after them with the rest of your IT.

What changes

Security you can actually check.

See what happened, fast

Cameras cover entries, car parks and stock areas, and you can search footage by person or vehicle from your phone instead of scrubbing through hours of video.

No more lost keys

Staff open doors with a card, fob or their phone. When someone leaves, their access is switched off in seconds, not by changing the locks.

You know who came in

Every door opening is logged against a name and time, and lines up with the camera footage for that door.

Footage stays private

Recordings are kept on a recorder in your building, on their own part of the network, and only the people you choose can view or export them.

One team to call

When a camera goes offline or a door will not open, we own it until it is fixed. The same people look after your IT.

What happens

Priced before anything is installed.

01
Walk the site
We look at doors, entries and blind spots, or work from floor plans, and agree what needs covering.
02
Quote
A fixed-price proposal listing each camera, reader and cable run, before you commit.
03
Install
Cabled, mounted and tested, then handed over with a walk-through of the app.
04
Look after it
We check the system is recording, apply updates and change access when staff come and go.

Why it matters

Cameras come with legal obligations.

14 days

written notice to staff is required in NSW before workplace camera surveillance begins. Other states have their own surveillance laws, and footage of people is personal information under the Privacy Act.
