Security System Installers

Q: Are there rules for security camera placement?

You are only allowed to film your own property and public spaces. Filming the neighbours is not allowed. In a commercial setting, employees have the right to privacy in areas such as bathrooms and changing rooms.

Q: How high should security cameras be mounted?

If possible, security cameras should be mounted at around three metres high. This gives a good balance between resolution and field of view.

Q: Can CCTV record in the dark?

Yes, some CCTV setups can record in the dark. However, not all are capable of doing so, so check with the supplier before purchase.

The importance of a good security system is obvious, but the skill with which it’s installed is also equally important. Without correct installation, a security system may fail to work completely, leaving in vulnerable.

How to choose the best security system installer for your project

The most important factors when choosing a security system installer in New Zealand are experience and a willingness to communicate. You need a security technician who will mention if a particular element is placed in a poor position, or if you are using technology not suited for the current task. To provide this advice, a security installer must have the experience in the first place. Don’t be afraid to ask your potential professional what experience and qualifications they have. Some specific questions you may want to ask are:

How long has your business been in operation in New Zealand?
Are you familiar with the security measures that are appropriate for my project?
Are you familiar with security issues in the surrounding neighbourhood, and do you think any extra measures are required?
What qualifications or licensing do your technicians have?
Can you integrate existing security systems into the new setup during installation?

Can you install a security system in an apartment?

Provided both the tenant and landlord are comfortable with it, there is no reason a security system cannot be installed in an apartment in New Zealand.
