In Australia, CCTV installation typically costs between $500 and $2,000, depending on the number of cameras, the quality of the system (e.g., HD vs. 4K), and the complexity of the installation. A basic 2-camera setup may start at around $500–$800, while larger systems with 4–8 cameras, remote access, and night vision can range from $1,200 to $2,500+. Additional factors like wiring, data storage, and mobile integration can also affect the overall cost.

Yes, your neighbour is legally allowed to install CCTV on their property in Australia. However, they cannot use the cameras to intentionally record private areas of your home, such as bedrooms or bathrooms, where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you believe their CCTV setup is intrusive or used in a harassing or unlawful way, you can raise a complaint with your local council or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

In most residential areas across Australia, you don’t need council approval to install CCTV on your own property. However, the cameras must not infringe on others' privacy or be used for harassment. If you live in a strata property or apartment complex, you may need permission from the building manager or owners’ corporation.

Most modern CCTV systems store footage for 7 to 30 days, depending on the system’s storage capacity and settings. Higher-capacity systems or those with cloud backup may retain footage longer. You can also adjust settings to overwrite old footage once storage is full.
