Residential CCTV System Case Study

Client Profile:

The client resides in an Inner Eastern suburb of Metropolitan Melbourne and is concerned about home security due to recent incidents at neighbouring properties. Based upon a previous installation Australian Security had undertaken, word of mouth led the client to approach our team as they sought to enhance the security of their residence with a comprehensive CCTV surveillance system.

Challenges:

Security Concerns: Recent incidents in the neighborhood including forced break-ins and car thefts have raised concerns about the safety and security of the property.

Property Layout: The property comprises multiple potential entrance points and a large surrounding perimeter fence, requiring strategic camera placement to ensure comprehensive, full surveillance coverage.  Being a corner block, risks are increased with property visibility across the intersection of two streets.

Family Safety: The client prioritizes the safety of their family members and assets so are seeking a solution that provides real-time surveillance monitoring and deterrence against potential threats.  They require a system that provides real-time alerts via the internet/phone app so the property is monitored whilst away from home.

Objectives:

Comprehensive Coverage: Install CCTV cameras at strategic locations throughout the property to monitor all potential entrance points combined with the perimeter fence.

Real-Time Monitoring: Provide the client with the ability to monitor live feeds and receive notifications remotely through their mobile devices for the identification of humans, vehicles and motion combined with intrusion zone tripwires.

Deterrence: Implement a visible surveillance system to deter potential intruders and enhance the overall security posture of the property.

Solution:

After an onsite security assessment conducted by our team of the property layout and understanding client requirements, the following CCTV surveillance system solution was proposed and implemented:

CCTV Camera Type/Selection: A total of 9 x high-resolution (8MP) CCTV surveillance cameras were proposed to provide the best coverage for key areas of the property, including 7 x fixed Turret Cameras and 2 x Bullet Cameras.  The bullet cameras covered areas requiring long-range surveillance with the turret cameras utilized for a wider field of view. Each camera was equipped with edge storage – SD card storage within each camera as a backup.

Location Placement:

Entrance Points: Turret cameras were strategically positioned to cover all entrance points, including the front, back and side doors and garage entrance.  Pole mounted cameras also provided an additional layer of coverage between the fenceline and the home, providing clear visibility of individuals entering and exiting the property.

Perimeter Fence: Bullet cameras were installed to cover long range areas including the perimeter fence to monitor any suspicious activity along the boundary, enhancing security and deterring potential intruders with their obvious visibility.

Remote Monitoring: Dome cameras were placed strategically within the interior of the house to monitor high-traffic areas such as the living room, kitchen, and hallway, providing comprehensive coverage of indoor activities.

Network Infrastructure: A robust network infrastructure was established to ensure seamless connectivity between the CCTV cameras and the client’s mobile devices for remote monitoring. High-speed internet connectivity and secure encryption protocols were implemented.  Additionally, the NVR recorder was installed within a lockable wall mounted cabinet to prevent unauthorized access to the surveillance system with a battery backup (UPS).

Remote Monitoring and Alerts: The CCTV system was integrated with the same branded mobile phone application (no ongoing fees), allowing the client to monitor live feeds and receive instant alerts on their smartphones or tablets in case of any suspicious activity detected by the cameras. Motion detection, artificial intelligence (human identification) and intrusion detection algorithms were configured to trigger these real-time alerts, allowing an immediate response to potential security threats.

Outcome:

Enhanced Security: The installation of the CCTV surveillance system significantly enhanced the security of the residential property, providing the client with peace of mind knowing that their family and assets are protected around the clock.

Real-Time Monitoring: The client now monitors live feeds and receives alerts remotely, enabling them to stay informed about any security incidents, trespassers, or unauthorized access to the property.

Deterrence Effect: It’s proven that the visible presence of CCTV surveillance cameras acts as a strong deterrent against potential intruders, reducing the likelihood of security breaches and enhancing the overall safety of the home & neighbourhood.

Improved Response: In the event of any security incidents or suspicious activity, the client can respond promptly by alerting Victoria Police or taking necessary precautions to mitigate the identified risks because of the real-time monitoring & notification capabilities of the CCTV Surveillance System.

Internal Security: The existing Intrusion Alarm System was also reprogrammed with a new battery to allow for a dual layer security solution with external coverage (CCTV Surveillance System) and internal coverage (Intrusion Alarm System) providing full security.

Ultimately, the installation of a comprehensive CCTV surveillance system for this client has not only addressed the security concerns but has also provided them with a reliable and effective solution for safeguarding their home against potential threats. The strategic placement of cameras, coupled with advanced monitoring and alerting capabilities, ensures maximum coverage, a reliable ongoing solution and peace of mind for the client and their family.
