The number of cameras depends on your property size, layout, and risk areas. Most homes in Perth typically need 4–6 cameras to cover entry points, driveway, backyard, and front door. Businesses often require more for full perimeter and internal coverage. A professional site assessment gives the most accurate recommendation.

The best brand depends on your goals and budget. Hikvision and Dahua suit higher-end or commercial installs, HiLook offers great value for homes, TP-Link VIGI works well for network-focused setups, and Reolink or Swann suit basic DIY needs. A tailored recommendation ensures the best performance for your site.
