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
