Video doorbells and intercoms in Australia: prices and installation

Updated 4 November 2026

A video doorbell in Australia costs about A$74 to A$250, a video intercom kit with an indoor screen about A$240 to A$470, and apartment door stations from about A$190 to A$610. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites, November 2026. For a system that suits your door, wiring and power, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice and get current offers.

Warranties, standards and licensed installation

Video doorbells and intercoms are goods bought from a business, so the Australian Consumer Law guarantees apply and the seller cannot exclude them, on top of any manufacturer's warranty. Some brands give a one-year limited warranty from purchase. Installers give cover on their own work too: a Brisbane security installer, for example, advertises up to three years on hardware and 12 months on workmanship, so compare the two. Ask sellers to confirm that the product complies with Australian standards. Mains-powered intercom wiring should be installed by a licensed electrician, as installers in Perth advertise, so keep any electrical certificate the electrician issues.

Season, weather and when to install

November is late spring, a good time to install before the summer holidays, when many households are away and want to see who is at the door. From December to February, heat and storms affect outdoor units, so check the IP rating (IP65 is common in listings for outdoor door stations) and the operating temperature. Bright sunshine can wash out camera images in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, so look for a wide dynamic range camera. Winter from June to August brings rain and cold to Melbourne, which matters for cables and outdoor units.

What to write in your request

Describe the property type (house, townhouse or apartment), the door type and the number of doors. Say whether you want a battery doorbell or a wired system, whether you need an indoor monitor or only a phone app, and whether installation is part of the offer. Give the suburb of the property, the distance from the door to the power point or router in metres, and your budget in A$. If you already own a chime or a router that the new system must match, name its make and model.

Describe the system in one message on the BlaBlaPrice home page.
