Smart Home & Security FAQs
How much does a CCTV security system cost to install in Newcastle?
A professionally installed home CCTV system in Newcastle typically costs between $1,500 and $4,500 depending on the number of cameras, resolution, and whether you choose a hardwired (PoE/NVR) or wireless system. We recommend hardwired systems for reliability. All prices include supply, installation, and remote viewing setup.
What's the difference between hardwired and wireless CCTV?
Hardwired CCTV systems (using PoE — Power over Ethernet) are more reliable, provide better image quality, and don't rely on Wi-Fi. Wireless cameras are easier to install but can suffer from signal dropouts. For permanent homes, we recommend hardwired systems. For rentals or temporary setups, wireless can work well.
How much does a smart home lighting upgrade cost?
A basic smart lighting upgrade (smart switches and dimmers for key rooms) typically costs $500 to $2,000 installed. A whole-home smart lighting system with automation, voice control, and scheduling ranges from $3,000 to $8,000 depending on the size of your home and the level of automation desired.
Can you integrate smart home devices with my existing electrical system?
Yes. We specialise in retrofitting smart home technology into existing homes. We can add smart switches, dimmers, and automation hubs without rewiring your entire house. We work with Google Home, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit ecosystems.
Do I need a licensed electrician for CCTV installation?
In NSW, hardwired CCTV installations must be performed by a licensed electrician to comply with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000). All Field Electrical holds NSW Licence 274455C and ABN 15 128 474 516. All work is certified and compliant.
What surge protection do you recommend for smart homes?
We recommend whole-home surge protection installed at your switchboard, which protects all connected devices from power surges. This is especially important for homes with smart devices, security systems, and EV chargers. Installation typically costs $300 to $600.
