Electrical Work for CCTV Melbourne South East
Helcro Electrical does the electrical work a CCTV system needs, for homes and businesses across Melbourne’s South East: dedicated circuits and power points for the recorder and any mains-powered cameras, switchboard capacity and safety switch protection. Based in Cheltenham, the work is done by A-Grade licensed electricians.
Installing the cameras and recorder is a licensed private security activity in Victoria (Victoria Police, since 19 June 2025), so that part is done by a licensed security installer. Any mains work we do is covered by our ESV licensing and REC registration (REC 35448) and comes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety.

Home CCTV power
A home CCTV system needs reliable power in the right places: a power point for the recorder (NVR), often in a cupboard, garage or roof space, and power for any cameras that are not powered through their network cable.
For a home CCTV system we can:
- Add a dedicated power point or circuit for the recorder
- Run mains power to outdoor locations where it is needed
- Check the switchboard has the capacity and safety switch (RCD) protection
- Install outdoor and security lighting
We provide a written quote before any work begins.
Commercial sites
Businesses in the Moorabbin, Heatherton, and Cheltenham industrial precincts often need new circuits for the recording equipment, power at camera locations and switchboard work. We quote the electrical side and work alongside your licensed security installer.
We do commercial electrical work for:
- Warehouses and manufacturing facilities
- Retail and hospitality premises
- Office and commercial tenancies
- Body corporate and strata properties
- Construction sites
For businesses that also need electrical fit-outs, switchboard upgrades, or commercial EV charging, we can schedule all work in a single visit to minimise disruption.
Combine it with your electrical or solar work
If you're already having solar installed, a switchboard upgraded, or a split system put in, we can add the circuits and power points for your CCTV to the same job. That saves a separate callout.
We work across Cheltenham, Bentleigh, Bentleigh East, and Highett every week, and there's no subcontracting: the electricians who quote the work do it.
If CCTV is on your list alongside any other electrical or energy upgrade, let us know when you enquire and we'll scope the electrical side together.
Why choose Helcro Electrical for the electrical side

Ready for your installer. The power is in place where the recorder and cameras need it, so the security installation can go ahead without waiting on an electrician.
Local and responsive. Our workshop is on Chesterville Road, Cheltenham. We're in the area every day, not dispatching from the other side of Melbourne.
No subcontracting. The team that quotes the job is the team that does it.
CCTV electrical questions
Who can install CCTV in Victoria?
How much does the electrical work for CCTV cost?
What do you need to know to quote the electrical work?
Where the recorder and any mains-powered cameras will go, and the system your security installer is fitting. Tell us that and what else you would like done while we are there, and we will quote the electrical side.
Do you install sensor lights?
Yes. We install outdoor and security lighting, including sensor lights, and can do it in the same visit as the power for your CCTV.
Can you do the CCTV power at the same time as other electrical or solar work?
Yes. If you’re having solar installed, a switchboard upgraded, or air conditioning put in, we can add the circuits and power points for your CCTV to the same job. This avoids a separate callout fee.
How long does the electrical work take?
It depends on the number of circuits, the cable runs and the property. We confirm the timing when we provide your quote.
