Commercial CCTV Systems
Designed for evidence, built for business: identification-grade footage at every entry, number plates at the gate, multi-site viewing from one dashboard - and the Privacy Act compliance your lawyer will ask about.
Business CCTV isn't home CCTV with more cameras
It has jobs: deterring the ram-raid and the till-skim alike, resolving the he-said-she-said (staff disputes, slip claims, delivery arguments), protecting stock and staff after hours, and producing footage that stands up - to Police, to insurers, to employment processes.
That's a design brief, and design is where we start.
Typical investment: $5,000 - $25,000+ depending on camera count, site scale and analytics - quoted fixed and itemised after a walk-through, with staged options where budgets are real.
Built around your operation
Upgrading tired analogue? Existing cabling can often be reused - which takes serious money off the quote.
Retail & hospitality
Entries, POS, floor coverage and back-of-house; high-detail cameras where shrinkage happens; exterior deterrence for the 3am element. Footage retrieval fast enough to check an incident between customers.
Warehouses, yards & logistics
High-mount wide coverage plus targeted detail at docks, gates and fuel; ANPR (number plate recognition) at vehicle entries so every truck movement is logged and searchable.
Offices & professional premises
Entries, car parks and reception, balanced with staff-area privacy done properly.
Multi-site businesses
Every branch on one dashboard, one login, consistent hardware and retention policy; head office sees everything, managers see their site.
Construction & temporary sites
Rapid-deployment coverage for the theft-heaviest phase of any build. (Building anyway? We prewire security on new builds — the cheapest cameras you'll ever cable.)
Integration
Ties into your alarm system (cameras verify activations, cutting false-alarm guard fees) and access control (see who badged that door).
What separates commercial-grade from “cameras on a wall”
We design in pixels-on-target, not vibes.
Coverage to evidence standards
Identification resolution at choke points (entries, POS, gates), recognition elsewhere, overview where context matters.
Retention that matches your risk
30, 60 or 90+ days sized to your incident-discovery reality - stock loss often surfaces weeks later.
Analytics that earn their keep
Person/vehicle detection, line-crossing and intrusion zones for after-hours alerts, ANPR for gates; alerts routed to the right person, not everyone's phone at 3am.
Privacy Act 2020 compliance, handled
Signage at entries, staff notification and policy wording, camera aiming that avoids what you mustn't record, retention limits. Most installers ignore this; your insurer, staff and lawyer won't.
Managers trained, not handed a manual
Installations scheduled around trading hours; systems commissioned with your team shown exactly how to pull an incident.
Maintenance plans
Lens cleaning, firmware, storage health, failed-camera swap-outs - with priority response for plan clients. A camera that died in March is no help explaining June's stock gap.
FAQs
How much does commercial CCTV cost in NZ?
Most single-site systems land between $5,000 and $25,000 installed; large or multi-site deployments more. Fixed itemised quote after a free site assessment — with a staged pathway if you'd rather spread the spend.
Can I view multiple sites in one place?
Yes - unified dashboard across branches, role-based access, one support number.
What about staff privacy and the Privacy Act?
CCTV in workplaces is lawful when done properly: notified purpose, signage, sensible camera placement (never bathrooms/changing areas), retention policy. We set all of it up and give you the wording — compliance included, not extra.
How long is footage kept?
Your call, sized at design - 30 days minimum recommended; 60–90+ for retail shrinkage and logistics environments.
Can you add number plate recognition?
Yes - ANPR cameras at gates and driveways log every plate, searchably. Transformative for yards, car parks and gated sites.
We have old cameras - replace or upgrade?
Often upgrade: modern IP cameras over existing cable routes at a fraction of full-reinstall cost. We audit what's salvageable first and quote both paths.
