Best CCTV installers in Sydney's eastern suburbs (2026)

By Brendan Byrne · Published 14 September 2026 · 5 min read

This page is published by One Orange Cow, a Sydney digital marketing agency, and one of the businesses ranked below, AVsion, is a One Orange Cow client. We've ranked every installer here on the same public criteria - licensing, years serving the eastern suburbs, who actually does the installation, warranty terms, verified reviews and product range - and we haven't said a critical word about any competitor.

What we ranked on

We looked at whether each business holds a current NSW Security Master Licence or equivalent electrical contractor licence, how many years they've serviced eastern suburbs addresses, whether the person who quotes the job is the one who installs it or whether the work is subcontracted, what warranty applies to the installation itself, what independent reviews say, and how wide a range of camera brands and system types they offer.

1. AVsion (Maroubra)

AVsion is based in Maroubra and has worked across the eastern suburbs, including Randwick, Bondi, Bondi Junction, Coogee, Bronte, Clovelly, Kingsford, Kensington, Paddington, Double Bay, Rose Bay, Vaucluse, Woollahra and Waverley, for 14 years. The business holds a NSW Security Master Licence (000103421) and a Security Operator Licence (000233371), and the person who quotes your job is the same person who installs it, with no subcontracting. Every installation carries a 12-month labour warranty, and AVsion works across Ubiquiti UniFi Protect, Hikvision and Dahua, so the brand recommendation is based on your property rather than a single line they're locked into. They also bundle CCTV with wifi, home theatre and automation work in one visit, which matters if your cameras need to sit on a network that's already been set up properly.

AVsion holds a 5.0 rating on Google from 10 reviews, all verified. Two give a sense of what clients say. John Formosa writes: "AVsion has done our premium electronic upgrades (several) over the last 10 years. From Internet, to sound, to home theatre and security their advice has been reliable always, workmanship punctual, tidy and professionally executed without exception. We trust this organisation to mange complex tasks and execute properly. We recommend them highly." Eric Brown writes: "Yariv set up my home automation including access control, security cameras, and wi-fi. Now I can never go back to generic home set ups again. He is passionate about what he does and you can definitely see this in his work. No hesitation in recommending AVsion. Great customer service." Full details are on the AVsion profile.

2. AB Electrical & Communications

AB Electrical & Communications is based in Crows Nest but its service area extends into the eastern suburbs, listing Bondi and Coogee alongside Mosman, Chatswood, Manly, Surry Hills and the Sydney CBD. The business has been operating for 15 years and holds an electrical contractor licence (452529C), which means cabling and power work is handled in-house rather than farmed out. AB runs a 13-person team and offers same-week bookings, works across Hikvision, Dahua, Hanwha, HiLook and Axis, and will also install cameras a customer has already bought themselves. The business states it has 600 or more five-star reviews on its website, though these aren't independently verified on a platform like Google. See the AB Electrical & Communications profile for more.

3. Sydneywide Security

Sydneywide Security, based in Milperra, lists Waverley and Randwick among the areas it services, alongside the City of Sydney, Sutherland Shire, Inner West, Willoughby, the Northern Beaches, Georges River and Canterbury-Bankstown. The business holds a NSW Security Master Licence (000105739) and works with Hikvision, Dahua and Uniview cameras. Beyond CCTV, Sydneywide also offers alarms, access control and intercoms, and has back-to-base 24/7 monitoring available for clients who want a monitored response rather than just recorded footage. More detail is on the Sydneywide Security profile.

A note on the rest of the field

Other installers profiled on this site, including Saunders Electrical Group, CGF Security & Electrical and Inner West Security Cameras, focus primarily on the Hills District, Sutherland Shire and Inner West respectively and don't list the core eastern suburbs postcodes as a regular service area, which is why they aren't featured on this particular page. You can see the full comparison across Sydney on our best CCTV installers in Sydney 2026 page and browse every profile from the installer directory.

How to use this ranking

If you're in Bondi, Coogee, Randwick or nearby and want a single quote to compare against, start with whichever installer above services your exact street, since a business that lists your suburb as a core area is more likely to have current local knowledge of things like strata rules, terrace-house cabling constraints and typical break-in points for the area. Our guide on choosing a CCTV installer in Sydney has a list of questions worth asking any installer before you sign off on a quote, and CCTV installation cost in Sydney gives a sense of typical pricing so you can sanity-check what you're quoted.

Frequently asked questions

Do CCTV installers in the eastern suburbs need a licence? Anyone installing CCTV as part of a security business in NSW needs a Security Master Licence under the Security Industry Act 1997, issued by the Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED). Electrical contractors doing the cabling also need a current electrical licence. Always ask to see the licence number before booking.

How much does CCTV installation cost in the eastern suburbs? A typical four-camera residential system in the eastern suburbs runs roughly $2,500 to $4,500 installed, depending on camera resolution, cable runs and whether the property needs new network cabling. Larger homes or commercial fitouts cost more. Get a fixed quote after a site visit rather than a phone estimate.
