Hikvision Product Range We Install

We supply and install the full Hikvision lineup, selecting the right cameras and recorders for your specific site requirements.

Turret Cameras

Compact, vandal-resistant design ideal for residential entry points, driveways, and eaves mounting. Available in 2MP, 4MP, and 8MP (4K) resolutions with built-in IR or ColorVu lighting.

Bullet Cameras

Long-range cameras with powerful IR illumination up to 80 metres. Perfect for driveways, car parks, fence lines, and perimeter coverage on larger Adelaide properties.

Dome Cameras

Discreet ceiling-mount cameras suited to retail, office, and indoor commercial environments. IK10-rated vandal-proof housings protect against tampering.

PTZ Cameras

Pan-tilt-zoom cameras with 25x or 32x optical zoom for large sites. Auto-tracking, patrol routes, and guard tours cover expansive areas from a single mounting point.

NVR Recorders

Network video recorders from 4-channel home units to 32-channel commercial systems. H.265+ compression maximises storage, with RAID options for redundancy on critical sites.

Hybrid & TVI Systems

Analogue HD (TVI) systems for budget-conscious installations or upgrades from existing coaxial cabling. Up to 8MP resolution over standard RG59 or CAT5 cable runs.

Hikvision Technology That Sets the Standard

Hikvision's proprietary technologies solve real-world security challenges. We configure each feature to match your site conditions.

AcuSense AI Detection

Deep-learning algorithms distinguish between people, vehicles, and other movement. This eliminates false alerts from animals, shadows, and tree movement, so you only get notified about genuine events. AcuSense is built into the camera chipset for real-time processing without cloud dependency.

ColorVu Full-Colour Night Vision

Larger sensor pixels and supplemental warm LED lighting produce vivid, full-colour footage even in near-total darkness. Identify clothing colours, vehicle details, and faces at night without the washed-out look of traditional IR cameras.

DarkFighter Low-Light Imaging

Ultra-sensitive sensors capture clear images in extreme low-light conditions down to 0.002 lux. Ideal for poorly lit areas like side passages, rear yards, and loading docks where adding lighting is impractical.

Smart Hybrid Light

Cameras switch intelligently between IR and white LED illumination. Normal monitoring uses covert infrared, then switches to visible white light when a person or vehicle is detected, acting as both a deterrent and a way to capture colour detail.

H.265+ Compression

Advanced video encoding reduces storage requirements by up to 80% compared to H.264, without sacrificing image quality. This means longer recording retention on smaller hard drives, saving you money on storage infrastructure.

Active Deterrence

Built-in strobe lights and speakers trigger automatically when intrusion is detected. Customisable voice warnings and siren sounds deter intruders before an incident escalates, adding a proactive layer to your Adelaide security setup.

Hikvision Solutions for Every Application

Whether you need a simple home setup or a multi-site commercial deployment, there is a Hikvision system built for the job.

Hikvision CCTV FAQs

Is Hikvision a good brand for security cameras?

Hikvision is the world's largest manufacturer of video surveillance equipment, used on millions of sites globally. Their cameras consistently rank among the best for image quality, reliability, and value. In Adelaide, we install Hikvision because it delivers commercial-grade performance at residential-friendly pricing, with strong local warranty support through Hikvision Australia.

How many Hikvision cameras do I need for my home?

Most Adelaide homes need between 4 and 8 cameras for comprehensive coverage. The front door, driveway, backyard, and side gates are priority positions. During our free site assessment, we map your property and recommend exact camera positions to eliminate blind spots while staying within your budget.

What is Hikvision AcuSense and do I need it?

AcuSense is Hikvision's AI-powered detection technology that distinguishes between people, vehicles, and other motion sources like animals or shadows. It dramatically reduces false notifications, so you only get alerts for events that actually matter. We recommend AcuSense for all installations as the minimal price difference saves significant time filtering genuine alerts from nuisance triggers.

Can I view my Hikvision cameras on my phone?

Yes. Every Hikvision system we install includes setup of the Hik-Connect app on your smartphone and tablet. You can view live feeds, play back recorded footage, receive push notifications, and share access with family members or staff. The app works on both iOS and Android and connects securely without needing a static IP address.

What is the difference between ColorVu and standard IR cameras?

Standard IR cameras switch to black-and-white footage at night, which makes it difficult to identify clothing colours and vehicle details. Hikvision ColorVu cameras use larger image sensors and supplemental warm LED lighting to maintain full-colour footage 24 hours a day. This makes them significantly more useful for identification purposes and evidence-grade recording.

How long does Hikvision CCTV footage stay recorded?

Recording retention depends on the number of cameras, resolution, and hard drive size. With H.265+ compression, a typical 4-camera home system with a 2TB drive records approximately 30 to 45 days of continuous footage. We size storage to meet your retention needs during the design phase, and drives can be upgraded later if requirements change.

Can Hikvision cameras integrate with my alarm system?

Yes. Hikvision systems can trigger alarm outputs, send event notifications alongside your alarm system, and integrate with monitoring platforms. We design integrated security solutions where cameras and alarms work together, providing visual verification for alarm events and a complete security ecosystem for your Adelaide property.

How long does a Hikvision installation take?

A standard 4-camera residential installation typically takes 4 to 6 hours. Larger commercial systems with 8 or more cameras may require a full day or two depending on cable runs and site complexity. We always provide a clear timeline during the quoting process so you know exactly what to expect.
