How many security cameras do you actually need?

The answer isn't simply 4, 6 or 8.

A good security camera system starts by looking at what you're trying to protect, where the property is vulnerable, how someone could approach or enter, and where you need useful identification.

Sometimes four well-positioned cameras can provide better security than eight poorly positioned ones.

Our latest guide covers what to consider before deciding on camera numbers for your home or business — including access points, blind spots, overlapping coverage, night-time performance and planning for future expansion.

Read the guide to learn how to plan security camera coverage properly.

Don’t compare security camera quotes by camera count and resolution alone.

Two quotes might both include six 8MP cameras and an 8-channel recorder, but that doesn’t mean you’re getting the same security system.

Camera positioning, lens and sensor quality, low-light performance, storage, recording configuration, installation quality and ongoing support can all make a much bigger difference than the numbers on the box.

We’ve put together a practical Security Camera System Buyer’s Guide to help home and business owners understand what actually matters before getting quotes.

No spec-sheet overload. Just practical advice to help you choose the right system for what you’re trying to protect.

Before we quote, we prefer to see the site properly.

Security cameras, access control, AV and digital signage all depend on the layout, cabling, coverage areas, visibility, mounting options and how the space is actually used.

That’s why Hexagon Valley offers free onsite assessments before quoting.

We’ll look at what you’re trying to achieve, identify the practical requirements, and recommend a solution that actually fits the site.

Book a consultation: https://hexagonvalley.com.au/consultation/ or send us a message on this platform and we'll get in touch.

Free onsite assessment available by appointment only. Initial phone consultation required before booking. Available for suitable security, CCTV, access control, AV and digital signage projects within Hexagon Valley’s service areas. Assessment is obligation-free and subject to availability. Final recommendations and pricing are provided after site requirements are reviewed.

A good showroom experience is more than screens on walls.

For ARB, Hexagon Valley delivered a multi-site AV and digital signage rollout across flagship showroom locations — including video walls, integrated showroom audio and remote content management.

The goal was simple: make it easier to deliver consistent branded content across locations, while keeping the install clean and professional.

Security, AV and digital signage projects all come with different challenges.

Some sites need clean residential CCTV with mobile alerts.
Some need off-grid rural coverage.
Some need digital signage rolled out consistently across multiple locations.

Our case studies show how we approach each project properly — from planning through to installation and support.

We have recently installed a security camera system for a family in King Creek using TP-Link VIGI cameras, with alarms, human and vehicle detection and two way audio. Human and vehicle detection only triggers the alarms when activated manually or can be set so the alarm is only triggered within a certain time frame (i.e. 9 PM to 5 AM). Two way audio enables the use of what is similar to an intercom system via each individual camera, allowing the home owners to speak into their mobile phone and be heard from the external speakers integrated into the camera system.

We recently installed a security camera system for a family in Port Maquarie, using Dahua Technology Wiz Sense and TIOC cameras with alarms, digital tripwires, mobile notifications, lights, full colour night vision and camera tamper detection. The system also has facial and object recognition, making it able to detect vehcles and people.
The cameras have Active Deterrence systems, activating when a human or vehcle is detected or when turned on manually, with a built-in siren, microphone, two-way audio and strobe lights. The cameras record in IR (infrared) at night, and begin to record in full colour using a light when a human or vhecle is detected.

We just installed a security and intercom system for a family in Kempsey, including a security lighting system. It uses TP-Link VIGI cameras, with sound and light alarms, smart detection, two-way audio and mobile notifications. These systems allow for home owners to easily and effectivly prevent unwanted visitors from entering the property whether through atutomation or manual activaion of the alarms.

We recently installed a commercial grade, hardwired security system and intercom for a family in Kempsey, with TP-Link VIGI cameras enabling human and vehicle detection with alarms, mobile notifications and two-way audio. Human and vehicle detection allows for alarms to be triggered with a much lower chance of a false alarm from other motion, like trees, insects or wildlife. The intercom is a moniter and doorbell system, with video and audio enabled, the doorbell camera is also connected to the security recorder for 24/7 video playback.
