Four things a well‑designedcamera system does for your site:
Which cameras are right for your site?
Recorded on site, or managed in the cloud. Both installed and serviced by Eclipse.
Local NVR storage gives you direct control; cloud systems add considerations around data location, retention and cost. The right choice depends on your site, reliability needs and how many locations you run.
Network video recorders and cameras owned by you.
Hikvision, Hanwha, Axis, Bosch, Mobotix and Genetec systems with recording on your own NVR. Footage stays on site, cameras keep recording regardless of internet availability, and storage is sized to your camera count, resolution, frame rate and retention period.

Eclipse is an Australian authorised reseller of Rhombus cloud security. Cameras and sensors are managed from one account across all of your locations, with firmware and features updated automatically.
Watch the Rhombus introductionEight things we design into every camera system.
Resolution is one factor among several. Lens, sensor, lighting, placement, analytics and storage decide whether footage identifies anyone. Open each item to see how Eclipse approaches it.
Our range includes AI tracking and smart cameras that distinguish people from vehicles, flag line‑crossing and intrusion, and generate alerts so nobody has to watch every camera continuously. Analytics performance depends on camera angle, lighting, weather, background movement, object size and resolution, so Eclipse configures and tests detection in your actual environment rather than relying on defaults.

Licence plate recognition cameras log every vehicle entering and leaving, streamline parking and give operators a searchable record. Eclipse delivered LPR as part of the Bogong Car Park Extension in Glen Waverley and the Belgrave multi‑level commuter car park, where plate capture works alongside Inner Range and Tecom access control for 24/7 real‑time monitoring.

Eclipse Security Systems stands as a beacon of trust and security, rigorously adhering to NDAA compliance standards. By choosing NDAA‑compliant systems, sourced meticulously from trusted suppliers, we guarantee that every component meets stringent security protocols. Australian government agencies have removed some surveillance equipment from sensitive sites, so organisations with sensitive operations should conduct vendor and technology risk assessments; Eclipse navigates that landscape for you.
Suited to: Government · councils · utilities · education · healthcare · critical infrastructure
Our NDAA commitmentBusinesses are most exposed after dark and when empty. Infrared night vision produces monochrome footage that is still useful for detection; full‑colour low‑light cameras such as Hikvision ColorVu retain colour at night, which helps identify clothing and vehicles, with results depending on the camera and the scene. Eclipse assesses the lighting at each camera position before specifying, and adds lighting where it makes the difference.
Platforms: Hikvision ColorVu · Hanwha · Axis · Bosch

Turret cameras are compact with an adjustable viewing direction, suited to entrances, driveways, shops and warehouses. Dome cameras are enclosed and common in retail, offices and indoor public areas. Bullet cameras are visible and suit perimeters, building exteriors and car parks. PTZ cameras can change their view, but should not automatically replace multiple fixed cameras because they can face the wrong way during an incident. Certified technicians assess your site to determine precise placement and integration with existing infrastructure.
Install: Nationwide, by Eclipse's own licensed technicians
Accessible via mobile devices or computers, our systems allow you to monitor your property anytime, anywhere. IP cameras are network‑connected computers, so remote access is designed around secure access rather than convenience alone: supported firmware kept up to date, strong unique credentials with individual accounts and multi‑factor authentication where available, management interfaces kept off the open internet, and the camera network segmented from business systems.
Apps: Hik‑Connect · Rhombus · Genetec mobile · Hanwha Wisenet
Access control and intrusion alarm systems integrate seamlessly with CCTV, so a forced door or a zone alarm brings up the right camera. For monitored sites, operators in our Grade A1 control room verify with video before dispatching a patrol or calling police, which cuts false callouts and gets the right response the first time.
Platforms: Inner Range Integriti & Inception · SALTO · Tecom · ICT · Genetec
Grade A1 security monitoringStorage depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, compression and retention period; continuous recording uses more storage than event‑based recording, and many systems use a mix. There is no universal retention period: Eclipse helps you define a justified period that suits the site, its risks, insurer expectations and operational needs, then sizes and protects the storage to match. Under a maintenance plan we confirm recordings can be retrieved, monitor storage and keep time synchronised.

Brand‑agnostic by design. We specify the camera the site needs, not the one we have on the shelf.
Partnered with trusted suppliers across the globe, Eclipse supplies, installs and services the camera ranges below. Through bulk purchasing we pass the savings on. The brand we recommend depends on site sensitivity, on‑site or cloud recording, lighting, the platform you already run and your budget.
BoschGerman engineering with video analytics built into every camera, so detection runs at the edge rather than on a server. A long‑standing Eclipse partner, proven in industrial, transport and outdoor environments where cameras take a beating.
Korean‑made Wisenet cameras with on‑board AI classification of people and vehicles and strong low‑light performance. Our choice for the Toorak Park redevelopment, covering the oval and pavilion for Construct.
The Swedish company that invented the network camera. Premium optics, an open analytics platform and Zipstream compression that cuts storage. Installed across all four levels of the Belgrave multi‑level commuter car park for ADCO.
RhombusCloud‑managed cameras, E2 vape and environmental sensors and access, all in one console with no NVR on site. Eclipse is an Australian authorised reseller, and we delivered Rhombus CCTV at Woodleigh School's Futures Studio alongside Inner Range and SALTO.
Motorola Solutions' camera and software range: Unity for on‑site recording and Alta for cloud, both with self‑learning analytics and appearance search that finds a person or vehicle across every camera in seconds. Installed and serviced by Eclipse; compared with Rhombus on our blog.
MobotixGerman‑made decentralised cameras that record and analyse on the camera itself, with a strong thermal range for perimeters and plant. Exceptionally long service life, which suits sites that want a system to run for a decade.
HikvisionThe world's most widely installed camera range. ColorVu keeps full colour at night, AcuSense separates people and vehicles from everything else, and Hik‑Connect gives live view on your phone. Our value choice for homes, retail and small business; not specified for NDAA or government sites. See our Hikvision guide and the ColorVu night footage on our channel.
Hikvision's entry‑level range for homes and small shops where budget comes first, installed and supported by the same licensed technicians and backed by the same 90‑day guarantee.
Value IP and HDCVI cameras with capable night performance and analytics, often found on systems Eclipse takes over from other installers. We service, upgrade and move Dahua systems to our monitoring; not specified for NDAA sites.
Value IP cameras and NVRs with good low‑light sensors and a simple interface, a second value option when features, supply or an existing recorder make it the better fit.
AI cameras alongside LoRaWAN environmental sensors, for sites that want video paired with air‑quality, vape or occupancy data on the same network.
Genetec Security CenterUnified video, access control and intrusion management for large and multi‑site estates. Brand‑agnostic, so cameras from Axis, Hanwha, Bosch and others sit in one interface with doors and alarms.
Open video management software that works with most ONVIF cameras. The practical choice when a site runs mixed brands and wants a single, fast interface for live view, playback and export.
Hikvision's mobile app for remote viewing and alerts, and its central management platform for larger deployments that combine cameras with access control. Set up securely by Eclipse with individual accounts and multi‑factor authentication.
HillsAustralian distribution partner across camera, access and alarm brands. Local stock and bulk pricing through Hills are part of how Eclipse keeps quotes competitive and lead times short.
Government, council, utility and other sensitive sites get NDAA‑compliant cameras (Hanwha Vision, Axis, Bosch, Mobotix, Avigilon or Rhombus). Multi‑site organisations and schools without a comms room usually suit cloud management (Rhombus or Avigilon Alta). Homes, retail and small business get the best value from Hikvision, HiLook, Dahua or Uniview with an on‑site recorder. Large estates that already run access control are unified on Genetec or Nx Witness. Whatever the brand, the same licensed Eclipse technicians install it, the same 90‑day guarantee covers it and the same service department maintains it.

Free on‑site assessment
Technical Sales Consultant · on site · freeA consultant walks the premises with you to define what the cameras must do: identify faces at entries, read plates at gates, watch stock, cover a perimeter after hours. We map priority areas and blind spots, check lighting by day and night, review any existing cameras, cabling and recorder, and note the insurer, licence and regulatory conditions that apply.
- Purpose and priority areas mapped
- Entries, car parks, stock and perimeters walked
- Lighting assessed at the time risks occur
- Existing cameras, cabling and comms room reviewed
- Written assessment, no obligation
Design and fixed quote
Technical Sales Consultant & EstimatorA camera schedule sets the type, position, mounting height and lens for every camera, chosen for the identification objective at that spot. We select the brand for the site: NDAA‑compliant ranges for sensitive sites, cloud management for multi‑site organisations, value ranges for homes and small business. Recording is sized to camera count, resolution, frame rate and a retention period you can justify, the network is designed with PoE and segmentation, and integration with access control or alarms is specified. Bulk purchasing keeps the fixed quote competitive.
- Camera schedule with coverage plan

Project planning
Project Manager & Installation CoordinatorWorks are scheduled around how your site operates: school holidays for campuses, outside trading hours for venues, live‑environment protocols for hospitals. On new builds we coordinate with the builder and electrical contractor, as we did with Kapitol, Devco, ADCO and Newton Manor. Site inductions, OH&S requirements and access are arranged before anyone arrives with a ladder.
- Works scheduled around your operations
- Builder and electrical contractor coordination
- Inductions, OH&S and access arranged
- Equipment ordered and staged in our Hallam warehouse
Cabling and infrastructure
Licensed Eclipse technicians, not subcontractorsStructured cabling, PoE switches, conduits, brackets, racks and power protection installed to Australian Standards and labelled so the next technician knows exactly what goes where. The camera network is separated from business systems so a compromised device cannot reach them.
- Cat6 and PoE runs labelled at both ends
- Mounts and conduits for the environment
- Rack, recorder and UPS installed in the comms room
- Segmented camera network
Camera installation and commissioning
Licensed Eclipse techniciansEach camera is mounted, aimed and focused, then its field of view is checked against the coverage plan by day and at night. Recording modes, analytics rules and alerts are configured and tested in your real environment so false alarms stay low, firmware is brought current, time is synchronised and accounts are created for named users with multi‑factor authentication where available.
- Field of view verified day and night
- Detection and recording tested on site
- Firmware, time sync and secure accounts
- Management interfaces kept off the open internet
Integrate, train and hand over
Technicians & Project ManagerCameras are linked to access control and alarms so a forced door or a zone alarm brings up the right view, the mobile app is set up on your phones, and your staff are shown live view, playback and how to export a clip. You receive the documentation: camera schedule, as‑built drawings, user list, retention policy and privacy signage guidance.
- Access control and alarm integration
- Mobile app set up and staff trained
- As‑built documentation and retention policy
- Privacy signage and user access reviewed
Monitor, 24 hours a day
Grade A1 control room · optionalFor monitored sites, cameras and alarms connect to a Grade A1 control room inspected to AS 2201.2. When an event occurs, the operator verifies it on video and follows the response instructions on your account: a call to your contacts, a patrol, or police for a verified alarm. NBN‑ready monitoring sends hourly test signals so faults are found sooner.
- Video‑verified alarm response
- Your escalation instructions followed
- Patrol and keyholder dispatch
- Hourly test signals, NBN ready
Maintain and support, for life
Service Coordinator & dedicated service departmentAny equipment fault within 90 days of installation is repaired or replaced at no cost. A preventive maintenance plan then schedules visits through the year: lenses and mounts checked, a recording retrieved to prove it works, storage monitored, firmware updated, users reviewed and time sync verified. Our service team notifies you in advance of updates or part replacements, and the customer portal holds your system information and service requests.
- 90‑day repair‑or‑replace guarantee
- Scheduled service visits, one to two a year or more for higher‑risk sites
- Advance notice before parts reach end of life
- Customer portal and 24/7 emergency response

Cameras installed to standard, with privacy designed in.
NDAA compliantCamera systems from vetted suppliersIdentifiable CCTV footage can be personal information under the Australian Privacy Principles, and state or territory surveillance and workplace laws may apply. Eclipse designs camera systems to collect only what is reasonably necessary: clear signage, a documented purpose and retention period, access limited to named users, audio enabled only where there is a clear need, supported firmware, segmented networks and multi‑factor authentication on remote access. This is general guidance for planning a system, not legal advice.
Security camera questions we are asked most.
Yes. Eclipse offers NDAA‑compliant CCTV cameras sourced from vetted suppliers, recommended for government, council, utility and other sensitive sites. We assess vendor risk at model level and can specify compliant cameras across a whole system.
Yes. Our systems are accessible via mobile devices or computers so you can monitor your property anytime, anywhere. Remote access is set up securely, with individual accounts, strong credentials and multi‑factor authentication where available.
Eclipse installs and services Hikvision, Hanwha Vision, Axis, Bosch, Mobotix, Genetec, Rhombus, Dahua and Avigilon systems, and we are an Australian authorised reseller of Rhombus cloud security. The best fit depends on your site, not on a single brand.
Yes. We maintain, service and upgrade systems installed by other providers, and we offer preventive maintenance agreements whether or not Eclipse installed the system. Often an existing system can be improved with updates, account clean‑up and network restrictions before any cameras are replaced.
There is no universal number. It depends on the purpose, layout, entry points, lighting and field of view. Resolution matters, but camera position and lens matter as much as megapixels. The free assessment maps priority areas and recommends the count, types and positions for your identification goals.
No. Recording stores footage for later review; a recording alone does not mean anyone is watching when an incident occurs. Monitoring adds trained operators in a Grade A1 control room who assess events, verify them on video and follow your agreed response procedure while the event is happening.
There is no universal period. Longer retention needs more storage and can increase privacy risk; shorter retention may limit usefulness if an incident is found late. We help you define a justified retention period for the site, its risks, insurer expectations and operational needs, then size the storage to match.
