CCTV & Ajax alarm installation in Kelvin Grove
Inner-north Brisbane CCTV installer working across Kelvin Grove's QUT-adjacent rental belt, post-war detached homes, and newer townhouse infill. Free on-site quotes, ASIAL member, QLD licensed.
Kelvin Grove is shaped by the QUT campus to the south — a large concentration of compact apartments, share houses, and student rentals around Kelvin Grove Road, Blamey Street, and the Newmarket Road corridor. For landlords managing student tenants, our recommendation is consistent: an Akuvox video intercom at the main entrance, one Dahua TiOC turret monitoring the front yard or carport, and a Hub 2 Plus alarm with a single keypad. Easy to hand over at change of tenancy.
North of Kelvin Grove Road the suburb shifts to detached post-war homes and newer townhouse developments. These owner-occupied jobs are larger in scope — typically 4-6 camera Dahua TiOC stacks with full Ajax alarm coverage. Newer townhouse blocks have made cabling much easier than the 1950s brick homes nearby.
Dahua TiOC 4K CCTV
8MP IP67 turret with active deterrence + colour night vision. Built for Brisbane outdoor conditions.
Ajax Hub 2 Plus alarm
Wireless Grade-2 alarm with photo verification, smartphone control, and battery backup through power outages.
Smart video intercom
Video door station with app-based answer and remote unlock — ideal for body-corp and gated properties.
Student-rental turnover
QUT student leases turn over yearly. Systems need to be easy to hand back to the landlord, easy to re-provision for a new tenant. Our standard rental kit is provisioned in 30 minutes.
Compact-block cabling
Many Kelvin Grove apartments have shared common walls and tight ceiling cavities. We pre-survey and confirm cable runs before quoting, never assume blue-sky.
Bike-theft entry monitoring
Kelvin Grove has Brisbane's highest bike-theft rate per capita (QUT student-bike concentration). Front-of-property cameras with night vision and motion alerts are the most-requested feature.

Will my Kelvin Grove rental tenants need training?
