Your Home Should Be The One Place You Never Have To Worry.
A burglary occurs in Australia every three minutes. Victoria consistently records tens of thousands of residential burglaries every year. Most happen during the day. Most target homes that appear unmonitored.
Visible security cameras are one of the most effective deterrents available. Studies consistently show that properties with visible CCTV systems are significantly less likely to be targeted.
Beyond deterrence, a professionally installed CCTV system gives you remote visibility from anywhere in the world, checking in on the kids, monitoring tradespeople, or simply knowing everything is as it should be.
At HSQ Electrical, we design and install complete home security and CCTV systems, giving you visibility, evidence, and peace of mind.

Everything Victorian Homeowners Need To Know About Home Security.
How Many CCTV Cameras Does My Home Need?
Most properties benefit from a minimum of four cameras, front door, rear entry, driveway, and one side. Larger homes may require six to eight for complete coverage.
What Resolution Should My CCTV Cameras Be?
We recommend a minimum of 4MP, sufficient to clearly identify faces, vehicles, and number plates at typical residential distances.
How Much Storage Do I Need for CCTV Footage?
Most residential systems store seven to thirty days of footage with older content overwritten automatically. Larger storage and cloud backup available for higher-risk areas.
Are There Legal Requirements Around CCTV in Victoria?
Cameras must not deliberately capture neighbouring properties or public areas. Signage advising CCTV is in operation is best practice. We advise on compliant positioning.
Home EV Charger FAQs Answered.
What is the difference between a hardwired and wireless CCTV system?
Hardwired systems use physical cables, reliable, high-quality, can’t be jammed. Wireless can be affected by interference and power outages. We recommend hardwired.
Can I access my CCTV footage remotely?
Yes, every installation includes remote access via a smartphone app. View live, review recordings, and receive motion alerts from anywhere.
How long does CCTV installation take?
A standard four-camera installation typically takes one full day. Larger systems may take longer.
Will my home insurance be cheaper with a security system?
Many insurers offer premium discounts for professionally installed systems. Contact your insurer before installation to understand requirements.
Can you integrate my CCTV with my smart home?
Yes, modern systems integrate with Google Home and Amazon Alexa for voice-activated monitoring and automated responses.
