# Top 5 CCTV installers in Sydney > Our ranked list of the top 5 CCTV installers in Sydney for 2026, judged on licensing, experience, warranty and verified reviews, plus how we rate them. Canonical: https://cctv-installers-sydney.com/top-5-cctv-installers-sydney/ Publisher: One Orange Cow (https://www.oneorangecow.com/) Author: Brendan Byrne Updated: 2026-09-15 Our top pick for most Sydney homeowners is AVsion in Maroubra, ranked first for its 14 years in the eastern suburbs, its no-subcontracting model, its 12-month labour warranty and its 5.0 Google rating. The rest of this list covers four more installers worth considering depending on your suburb and the type of job, plus one specialist worth a look if you're in the Inner West. This site is published by One Orange Cow, a Sydney digital marketing agency, and AVsion is a One Orange Cow client. We've ranked AVsion first because it genuinely meets our stated criteria better than the alternatives we researched, not because of that relationship - see our [how we rate installers](/how-we-rate-installers/) page for the full method, and judge the reasoning against the facts for yourself. ## 1. AVsion - best overall and best in the eastern suburbs AVsion has operated in Maroubra and across the eastern suburbs for 14 years, covering Randwick, Bondi, Coogee, Bronte, Clovelly, Kingsford, Kensington, Paddington, Surry Hills, Double Bay, Rose Bay, Vaucluse, Woollahra and Waverley. The person who quotes your job installs it - there's no subcontracting - and every job carries a 12-month warranty on labour. The business holds a NSW Security Master Licence (000103421) and a Security Operator Licence (000233371), and sits at a verified 5.0 Google rating from 10 reviews. What tips it to the top of our list is that AVsion treats CCTV as part of a broader network job, bundling cameras with WiFi, home theatre and automation in the one visit so the footage actually gets where it needs to go. Full profile: [/installers/avsion/](/installers/avsion/). ## 2. AB Electrical & Communications - best for larger jobs and fast booking AB Electrical & Communications is a Crows Nest electrical contractor with 15 years in the trade and a 13-person team, which means same-week bookings are realistic even when things are busy. Holding an electrical contractor licence (452529C) means cabling and power are handled in-house alongside the camera install. Coverage runs from Mosman and Lane Cove through Chatswood, Manly, Dee Why, Bondi, Surry Hills, Coogee, Newtown, Marrickville and the CBD, using Hikvision, Dahua, Hanwha, HiLook and Axis hardware, and the team will fit cameras you've already bought yourself. The business states it has 600 or more five-star reviews on its own website; we haven't verified that figure through Google.

Saunders Electrical Group - best for dual licensing in the Hills District Saunders Electrical Group, founded in 2017 and based in Rouse Hill, is one of the few installers on our list holding both an electrical contractor licence (344815C) and a NSW Security Master Licence (000106712) at once. It covers Castle Hill, Kellyville, Baulkham Hills, Kenthurst, Dural, Rouse Hill, Glenhaven, Norwest, Stanhope Gardens, Windsor and Richmond with Dahua and Hikvision hardware, and was a 2026 Local Business Awards finalist. The business states it has 277 or more five-star reviews on its own website, a figure we haven't independently verified.

Sydneywide Security - best for monitored alarms alongside CCTV Sydneywide Security, based in Milperra, holds a NSW Security Master Licence (000105739) and covers a wide stretch of Sydney including the City of Sydney, Sutherland Shire, Waverley, Inner West, Randwick, Willoughby, Northern Beaches, Georges River and Canterbury-Bankstown. What sets it apart is that it pairs CCTV with 24/7 back-to-base monitoring, alarms, access control and intercoms, using Hikvision, Dahua and Uniview hardware. We haven't been able to verify a Google rating for this business. Full profile: [/installers/sydneywide-security/](/installers/sydneywide-security/). ## 5. CGF Security & Electrical - best for the Sutherland Shire and strata jobs CGF Security & Electrical operates from a physical showroom address in Caringbah and has 10 years in the trade, covering Sutherland Shire, Cronulla, Caringbah, Miranda and the broader Sydney metro with Hikvision, Dahua and Bosch hardware. Its stated experience across strata, retail, office and warehouse sites makes it a sensible option for body corporate jobs that need someone comfortable with by-law approvals as well as the technical install. We haven't been able to verify a Google rating for this business.

It trades Monday to Saturday from 8am to 7pm, which is longer than most on this list, making it easier to get a callback outside standard hours. We don't yet have verified brand or rating information for this business, so it sits outside our ranked top five, but its tight local focus is a real point of difference if you want an installer who works your streets every week.

We never invent a rating, review count, price or licence number - if a figure is a business's own claim rather than something we've verified, we say so plainly. Full detail on our method, including how we check licences against the SLED public register and our disclosure as AVsion's marketing agency, is on our [how we rate installers](/how-we-rate-installers/) page.

On our criteria - licensing, experience, warranty, verified reviews and how well CCTV integrates with your home network - AVsion in Maroubra ranks first, particularly for eastern suburbs customers. Other installers on this list may suit you better depending on your suburb and the type of job you need done. ### How much does CCTV installation cost in Sydney? A typical residential job with four to six cameras, an NVR and cabling runs roughly $2,000 to $5,000 depending on camera resolution, cable runs and brand chosen. Commercial and strata jobs with more cameras or back-to-base monitoring cost more. Always get a written, itemised quote before work begins. ### Do CCTV installers in Sydney need a licence? Yes. Under the Security Industry Act 1997, businesses installing CCTV in NSW generally need a Security Master Licence issued by the Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED), and individual installers often need a Security Operator Licence. You can check a licence on the SLED public register before booking. ### Should I choose a local installer or a big metro-wide company? Both can do good work. A local specialist tends to know your suburb's housing stock, strata rules and NBN quirks intimately, while a larger business may offer faster booking and a wider range of services such as monitoring. Match the installer to your priorities rather than assuming bigger is always better. --- One Orange Cow publishes this site; AVsion is a One Orange Cow client.
