NorthTech Essentials

A clear starting point for protecting your property.

Choose a proven alarm or CCTV package, then place it on a Google aerial image or your floor plan. NorthTech reviews the property, coverage, cabling and installation before issuing the final Quote.

Three sensible starting points

Start with the system that fits best.

How a package becomes a quote

  1. Choose the package that fits

    An alarm, cost-effective CCTV or premium CCTV. Each one is a real NorthTech quote template, not a brochure item.

  2. Place it on your property

    Mark where you want cameras, sensors, keypads and sirens on a Google aerial image of your place or on your floor plan. Move, add or remove anything you like.

  3. NorthTech reviews it

    The property, the coverage each camera actually gets, the cable runs and the installation are all checked by the people who will do the work.

  4. You get the real quote

    Final products, labour, cabling and tax, confirmed in writing. Nothing is booked until you accept it.

What the estimate covers

The figure on each package is the equipment NorthTech expects a typical Melbourne home or small business to need. It is a planning number, meant to tell you whether a system is in the range you had in mind before anybody visits.

Included in the figure
The equipment listed on the package, at NorthTech's current pricing.
Confirmed after the review
Labour, cabling and the installation itself. These depend on the building — a single-storey home with roof access is not the same job as a double-storey rendered one.
What usually changes it
More cameras or sensors than the package carries, long or difficult cable runs, extra keypads, and connecting to an alarm panel or network that is already there.
Not a binding quote
The price you are asked to accept is the written quote, never this estimate.

In Victoria, anyone paid to install, repair, service or maintain security equipment must hold a private security licence issued by Victoria Police. Ask any company working on your alarm, CCTV or access system to show you that it is properly licensed — including this one. Victoria Police: private security
