CCTV cameras in Australia: what they cost and how to get offers

Updated 4 November 2026

A single CCTV camera in Australia usually costs between A$45 and A$340, and a recorder kit with four to eight cameras runs from about A$145 to A$935. These are approximate ranges from sellers' websites in November 2026. For prices that fit your own property, describe what you need in a free request on BlaBlaPrice.

Local rules and warranty

Australian installers' warranty pages refer to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, and a warranty cannot take those rights away, so read the warranty alongside them. A Perth buyer's guide notes that WA laws also apply to CCTV systems, so ask the installer which state rules cover your address. Some suppliers advertise three-year warranties on whole systems; check whether that covers installation and the recorder, not only the cameras.

Season and light

Winter runs from June to August, and that is when outdoor cameras work hardest: evenings are dark, so night vision and motion alerts matter most. Summer runs from December to February, so keep the recorder in a cool, ventilated spot through those months. November is the start of spring, so a system fitted now is ready before summer. Solar cameras suit fences and sheds without a nearby power point, but the panel needs open sun, and the winter sun sits lower in the sky.

How it is bought and delivered here

Prices are in A$. Listings give resolution in megapixels (such as 3MP or 8 MP) and kits by channel count, so compare offers on the same numbers. Ask whether the quoted price includes GST and what delivery costs to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide. Give the site address in the request, so any installation quote matches the real building.

What to put in your request

Say where the cameras will go (front door, driveway, back shed), how many you need, and whether you want wired or wireless units. Add the resolution, the recording you want, any make or model you already like, and whether you need installation. State your budget in A$. A photo of the spot where each camera should go helps a seller work out how many cameras you need.
