Straight answers before you install.

Start with the entrances and areas of concern. A layout can need separate overview and identification views; camera count alone does not establish coverage.

A suitable local recorder can record without internet while powered. Remote viewing and online notifications require a working connection.

Equipment needs power. A correctly sized UPS can provide limited backup for connected equipment, but runtime depends on load and battery capacity.

Possibly. Cable type, condition, route and performance must be assessed before reuse is promised.

No. Roof access, masonry and restricted floor cavities may require conduit or another agreed route.

Not reliably with every general-purpose camera. Plate capture depends on angle, speed, distance, lighting and equipment designed for the task.

No. Classification can reduce nuisance events, but environmental conditions and setup affect results.

Camera count, bitrate, recording mode and usable disk capacity determine retention. Ask for a calculation based on proposed settings.

Compatible systems can support app access. Setup, account security and internet connectivity must be considered.

A written quote should account for equipment, access, cabling, mounting, storage and setup. Confirm exclusions rather than comparing camera count alone.

Ask the team to confirm product and workmanship warranty terms for the specific quote. Terms can differ between products and work performed.

Use the enquiry planner or contact Serious Security with your suburb, property details and areas of concern.
