Want smarter security without the false alarms? 👀
In this on-site install, Matthew from Jim’s Antennas Yarraville walks through a full IP security camera setup from planning coverage and choosing camera types to cabling, conduit, and recorder configuration. You’ll see how active deterrent cameras (flashing lights, voice prompts, siren) help scare off intruders, when to use dual-lens 180° cameras for wide frontages, and how to keep installs neat and weather-safe on tricky brick or shopfront walls.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to plan coverage, avoid blind spots & pick the right lens/FOV
💡 The benefits of active deterrence (lights, siren, voice prompts)
🌙 Color night options vs IR black-and-white (low-lux considerations)
🧱 Brick/concrete mounting: junction boxes, 90° standoffs, and conduit
🔧 Clean cabling: finding paths, yellow-tongue pulls, brush plates & sheath
🧠Smart alerts: human/vehicle detection, intrusion zones & tripwires
💾 NVR basics: 4/8/16-channel options, storage planning & UPS backup
📱 Remote access: app setup, QR pairing, and reducing false notifications
