Types of CCTV Systems We Install
At H.Irwin Electrical, we install a wide range of devices to suit different security needs across Adelaide. Our team works with both wired and wireless options, solar-powered cameras, and advanced AI-driven setups.
We assess each property to ensure the selected system is the right fit for the environment and its specific risks. Whether you need coverage for a small retail shop or a large construction site, we’ve got a system that supports reliable monitoring and long-term safety.
Wired CCTV Systems
Wired camera systems remain the backbone for many businesses and larger homes that need consistent, interference-free coverage. These setups connect directly to digital or network video recorders, which means signal loss is rare and footage stays high quality.
We usually recommend wired CCTV for new builds or when there’s scope for running cables without disruption. Our installers use methods that reduce mess, making sure your property is left tidy and cables are clearly labeled for future maintenance.
Wireless CCTV Solutions
Wireless systems are a practical choice for locations where cable runs are tricky or after the walls are closed up. They’re often ideal for retail settings or existing homes wanting less mess and faster installation.
Our wireless CCTV installs are tested for network stability and camera performance, ensuring you get good video quality and real-time alerts without unnecessary downtime. We also guide clients on optimal Wi-Fi placement to keep interference low and coverage smooth.
Solar and Temporary CCTV
Solar-powered CCTV systems work best where power access is limited, like remote yards or temporary event spaces in and around Adelaide. We supply and install both single and dual-lens solar units, giving flexibility for different sites and risk profiles.
Our team handles everything from panel alignment to battery backup and security camera installation calibration, so security continues uninterrupted, even during poor weather or after dark.
AI and Cloud-Connected
Modern properties can benefit from CCTV with video analytics, remote monitoring, and secure off-site storage. We install systems that can detect people, vehicles, and unusual behavior, which means fewer false alarms and more actionable alerts.
With our cloud-connected solutions, clients can view live feeds or recorded footage from anywhere, and we always provide guidance on privacy and compliance to meet local regulations.
For tailored CCTV installation across Adelaide, our team is ready to recommend and deliver a system that fits your needs. Get in touch if you’d like a site assessment or want to discuss your options with people who know the process.
How to Plan Your CCTV Installations
Organizing your CCTV installation takes clear planning. Our team at H.Irwin Electrical helps Adelaide property owners avoid common issues by following best-practice steps from the start.
Initial CCTV Assessment
Start by examining your property for security risks. Identify entry points, poorly lit areas, and any places known for previous incidents. For many homes and businesses in Adelaide, this means surveying perimeter fences, car parks, and shared access points.
Our licensed electricians document these findings to guide where CCTV cameras will have the most impact. This assessment also supports insurance and meets compliance obligations.
Coverage and Placement Service
Use a detailed map or building plan to mark out where coverage is needed. Highlight all entrances, pathways, and blind spots. We find elevation is important; mounting cameras at least 2.5 metres high helps prevent tampering and offers better visibility.
Overlapping fields of view are key to avoiding unmonitored zones. Our team uses digital planning tools to guarantee every critical spot is covered before the installation begins.
Compliance With Privacy Laws
Any CCTV system in Adelaide must obey South Australian privacy laws and Australian Standard AS 4806.1–2006. This includes positioning cameras away from private spaces, using clear warning signage, and controlling access to recorded footage.
Our installers keep up with industry regulations to protect your rights and those of your neighbors. This ensures all compliance boxes are ticked from day one.
Wiring and Safety Checks
CCTV installation is not just about the cameras. It’s about wiring, ongoing safety, and legal compliance. Our licensed team handles everything from secure camera mounting to discreet cable runs and surge protection, especially on complex or commercial sites.
Choosing H.Irwin Electrical means tapping into experience across Adelaide and trusting all work will meet insurer and legal requirements.

Australian Standards and Privacy Laws for CCTV Installations
When installing CCTV in Adelaide, proper compliance is essential. Our team at H.Irwin Electrical knows these standards can be complex, but they protect both property owners and the public. We make sure every CCTV kit is carried out to meet legal and ethical requirements from end to end.
Privacy Law Requirements
Every CCTV installer we manage aligns with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
We always ensure clear signage is installed, letting staff and visitors know about active recording. Our systems use secure, restricted storage to guard personal information and keep footage access in line with current legislation.
State and Council Approvals
Local requirements can add extra steps, such as council approvals, especially for external cameras in public or heritage areas.
We’re experienced in navigating South Australian surveillance and council rules, so your dedicated CCTV installers are compliant from planning to final sign-off. This saves you from possible fines or forced system changes down the track.
Camera Placement & Consent
We check that every field of view is compliant and doesn’t intrude on private areas, such as bathrooms or private meetings. Our team understands exactly where cameras should and shouldn’t go, limiting your risk of accidental privacy breaches and penalties.
If you need a CCTV system that’s properly installed and fully compliant, contact us. We’ll handle every step, so you stay protected and above board.
