About Jarrod Edwards

Jarrod Edwards is the owner and lead installer of Mr Secured Pty Ltd, a Brisbane-based security installation business specialising in premium Dahua TiOC CCTV, Hanwha Wisenet enterprise CCTV, AJAX wireless alarms, Akuvox apartment intercoms, and Inception EVO access control. Mr Secured serves Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, and South-East Queensland’s rural fringe.

Jarrod has personally installed or directly supervised every Mr Secured project since the company was founded. The “owner-installer” model means the person who quotes your job is the same person who performs it — no subcontractor swap-out — and is also the person who returns for service calls. This continuity is the single biggest reason Mr Secured has accumulated 190+ five-star Google reviews under the brand.

Specialist areas

Residential CCTV — Brisbane premium homes

Jarrod’s residential install pattern is built around active deterrence rather than passive recording. Most Brisbane residential break-ins are opportunistic — visible red/blue strobes plus 100dB audio warnings stop the intruder before the property is breached. The standard residential install uses Dahua TiOC cameras with PoE+ cabling to a hidden, lockable NVR cabinet with UPS battery backup.

Commercial CCTV — Brisbane warehouses, retail, body corporate

Jarrod has installed commercial CCTV across Brisbane warehouses, retail shopfronts, multi-tenant office buildings, body corporate residential, and construction sites. The commercial pattern uses Hanwha Wisenet (for cybersecurity-certified tenders) or Dahua WizMind (for AI-driven analytics) with industry-vertical placement strategies.

Apartment-building intercoms — body corporate and high-rise

Through the Intercom Solutions trading division, Jarrod specialises in apartment-building intercom installations across body corporate, high-rise, and gated estate properties. Authorised Akuvox installer with deep specialist depth in strata-managed building intercom modernisation.

Farm and rural security — South-East Queensland

Specialist rural installs across Brisbane West acreage (The Gap, Pullenvale, Brookfield, Anstead, Moggill, Bellbowrie), Scenic Rim, Lockyer Valley, Gold Coast hinterland, and Sunshine Coast hinterland. Long-range Dahua varifocal cameras, solar-powered kits, 4G/Starlink connectivity, AJAX wireless alarm with 2,000m Jeweller radio range for paddock-corner sensors.

Why owner-installer matters

Most Brisbane security installers subcontract the actual installation labour. The quote comes from a salesperson, the installation comes from a different technician, and the service call months later comes from a third person who doesn’t know the system. Mr Secured doesn’t operate that way. Jarrod personally installs or directly supervises every job. The continuity benefits include:

• The person quoting the system knows the install constraints first-hand
• Quoted price equals invoiced price (fixed-price within 24 hours of on-site assessment)
• Service calls in years 2-5 are handled by the same person who installed the system
• Discreet aesthetic mounting that respects heritage suburbs (Paddington, Spring Hill, New Farm)
• Honest “repair vs upgrade” guidance rather than default-sales-push behaviour

NDAA / cybersecurity positioning

Mr Secured does not install Hikvision under any circumstances — see the explicit Dahua vs Hikvision Australia NDAA explainer. This reflects Jarrod’s view on supply-chain risk management for Brisbane residential and commercial clients: NDAA Section 889 ban (US federal procurement), Australian Signals Directorate concerns, and the broader principle that security hardware should come from supply chains buyers can audit. Dahua’s Australian-distributed NDAA-compliant range and Hanwha Wisenet’s Korean-engineered cybersecurity-certified range are the two CCTV brands Mr Secured will install.

Channel 9 Today Show feature

A Mr Secured client install on the Gold Coast caught intruders in real time and the footage was featured nationally on the Channel 9 Today Show. The story illustrated the active deterrence install pattern Jarrod uses on Brisbane residential systems — Dahua TiOC cameras with audio warnings and red/blue strobes triggered as the intruders approached the property.

Service areas covered personally

Jarrod personally services Brisbane (all metro suburbs from Bardon and Ashgrove in the west to Wynnum and Manly on the bayside), the Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise to Coolangatta), and the Sunshine Coast (Noosa to Caloundra). Rural fringe coverage includes the Brisbane West acreage belt, the Scenic Rim, the Lockyer Valley, the Gold Coast hinterland, and the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
