What We Do — CCTV & Surveillance

See everything.
Miss nothing.

CCTV & surveillance installation across New Zealand & Australia

We design and install high-performance surveillance systems that capture what matters — with the clarity, reliability and storage to back it up. No blind spots. No excuses.

The Powercoms Approach

Surveillance that works when you need it most.

Most surveillance failures aren't camera failures — they're design failures. Wrong placement, insufficient lighting consideration, inadequate storage, or footage quality too poor to be usable. We've seen it all.

We design systems from the ground up: camera placement based on actual sight lines, resolution appropriate for the use case, storage calculated properly, and remote access that works reliably. Every system is tested and signed off before we leave the site.

We work with Axis and Samsung — commercially proven platforms that deliver genuine image quality, not marketing specs that fall apart in real-world conditions.

What We Install

Surveillance solutions
for every environment.

IP Camera Systems

High-definition IP cameras installed and configured for your specific environment — indoors, outdoors, low-light, high-traffic. Positioned for coverage, not just compliance.

NVR & Storage Solutions

Network video recorders sized to retain footage for the duration you need, with redundancy built in. No surprises when you go to review critical footage.

Remote Monitoring & Access

Secure remote access to live and recorded footage from any device — so your team can monitor sites, review incidents and share footage with investigators without being on-site.

Analytics & AI Detection

Intelligent detection that identifies people, vehicles and unusual behaviour — and alerts you before an incident escalates. Smarter than motion detection. More accurate too.

Multi-Site & Cloud VMS

Milestone video management software for organisations managing multiple locations. Centralised footage, unified search and a single interface across all your sites.

Integration with Access Control

When a door is accessed, the nearest camera automatically tags the event. One integrated system means faster investigation and stronger evidence.

If it happened,
you'll have
the footage.

  • Full site survey — camera positions mapped before installation
  • Certified Installers
  • Storage calculated to your retention requirements
  • Night vision, wide dynamic range and low-light options specified correctly
  • Remote access configured and tested at handover
  • Milestone VMS available for enterprise and multi-site deployments
  • Ongoing maintenance and support contracts available

Common Questions

Questions people ask us

Straight answers from Josh Packer, National Security Manager

How many cameras does my building need?

You cannot work that out from a floor plan. Every entry and exit point needs proper coverage at face level. Car parks, server rooms and cash-handling areas need dedicated attention. Internal coverage depends on your risk profile and what you actually need the system to do. We have seen plenty of systems that looked complete on paper and had obvious gaps once we walked the building. A site survey is the only way to get it right.

Josh Packer, Powercoms

How long should CCTV footage be kept?

Thirty days minimum for most commercial sites. High-risk environments or those with compliance requirements typically need 60 to 90 days. The default on most systems is 7 to 14 days, which sounds fine until you need footage from an incident reported three weeks later. We set retention to match your environment, not whatever the manufacturer defaulted to.

Josh Packer, Powercoms

What is the difference between IP cameras and older analogue systems?

IP cameras send video over your network and give you much better resolution, remote access and the ability to add analytics. Analogue systems use coaxial cabling and are lower resolution. If you are upgrading, we test the existing cabling first to see what can be reused. In most cases a modern IP system delivers noticeably better results and is easier to expand later.

Josh Packer, Powercoms

Can I check my cameras remotely?

Yes. Every system we install includes remote access via a secure app or web portal so you can view live or recorded footage from anywhere. We set permissions so you control who sees what. We also make sure it is actually working before we leave, not just technically configured. That sounds obvious. It is not always how it goes elsewhere.

Time to upgrade your surveillance?

We'll walk your site and design a system that covers what actually needs covering.
