Box Hill North | Residential CCTV & Smart Home Infrastructure

Highlight 1 — Builder Coordination and Early Pre-Wiring

The most important work began long before the cameras appeared on the walls. Austrend Home coordinated with the builder during construction to plan cable routes and camera/network connection points. This early coordination made it possible to prepare the property for its security and network infrastructure while access to building areas was still available.

The site photos show the installation across multiple exterior elevations, including rendered walls, brickwork, the garage frontage and side access. Camera locations were distributed around different parts of the property rather than concentrated at a single entrance.

Highlight 2 — A Phased Plan That Follows the Homeowner’s Timeline

With handover approaching, the team scheduled an early site visit to install and commission the CCTV system and temporary network. The smart-switch work was deliberately kept for a later phase: the owners planned further kitchen cabinetry changes and additional LED strip lighting after moving in. Finalising switches too early could have meant choosing the wrong number of buttons or lighting circuits and repeating work later.

By separating the immediate security and network needs from the later lighting-control upgrade, the project could move forward without locking the homeowner into a premature automation design.

Installation Across the Property

The photographs document exterior CCTV positions on the front, side and garage areas, as well as an indoor camera near the garage opening. A marked ground-floor plan was used to coordinate device positions and electrical/network requirements. This planning-led approach is especially useful on larger homes, where the distance between camera positions and the central network location can be substantial.
