Eltham CCTV & Sensor Lighting Upgrade: A Safer Home for the Christmas Season
CCTV & Sensor Floodlight Upgrade in Eltham: Ready for a Safe Christmas
A Smart Security Refresh Before the Festive Break
With Christmas fast approaching, our team was called out to Eltham to help a local family feel safer heading into the holiday season. They wanted better visibility around the home, stronger coverage at entry points and a reliable CCTV system they could monitor remotely while away.
This upgrade combined a high-quality Dahua CCTV system with fresh motion-sensor lighting — a simple but powerful combo for year-round security.
🔧 CCTV Installation: Clear, Reliable Protection Day and Night
We supplied and installed a Dahua CCTV system featuring two 6MP turret cameras positioned to cover the home’s key access areas:
Front porch – monitoring the entry and driveway
Alfresco and deck area – keeping an eye on the rear of the home
All cabling was neatly run using Cat6 data cable, with the cameras connected back to a Dahua 8-channel NVR installed in the study.
Once set up, the system was configured for remote viewing on the homeowner’s phones, tablets and desktop — perfect for peace of mind when travelling or hosting guests.
The full installation was tested and commissioned.
💡 Sensor Floodlights for Safer Nights
To boost outdoor visibility, we swapped out two old fittings for Voltex double LED floodlights with motion sensors:
One positioned at the front door
One installed by the laundry door
These lights now activate automatically when they detect movement, brightening walkways, discouraging unwanted activity and giving the family extra peace of mind after dark.
🎄 Why Security Matters Even More at Christmas
The lead-up to Christmas is one of the busiest times for home break-ins and insurance claims. Many families are:
Travelling
Hosting large gatherings
Receiving parcels
Spending more time away from home
Using outdoor spaces more often
A CCTV + sensor lighting combo is one of the easiest ways to:
✔ Deter intruders
✔ Improve night-time visibility
✔ Monitor your home while you’re away
✔ Protect deliveries
✔ Reduce blind spots around the home
Even simple upgrades make a huge difference during this high-traffic season.
