Installation services

Cabling, WiFi, CCTV and door access — installed across Melbourne as one system.

Melbourne WiFi provide installation services for networking, cameras, door access and many home automation hardware. We don't just install cameras or set up WiFi — we engineer secure, scalable, manageable environments on Ubiquiti UniFi.

What we do

Three disciplines, one contractor.

Most sites need all three, and they only work properly when the same team plans the cable routes, the camera angles and the door hardware together.

Network cabling

Professionally installed cabling is a must for both aesthetics as well as performance and adaptability.

Cabling & racks Switches

Every access point, camera, reader and phone runs back to a central patch panel on Cat6 or Cat6A. We handle conduit, cable trays, penetrations and terminations, mount and dress the rack, then test and label every run. For new builds and fit-outs we work with your builder to rough-in before walls are closed; in existing buildings we run through roof spaces, risers and wall cavities to keep the finish clean.

Surveillance installation

Security camera installation requires attention to detail. We offer a wide range of solutions from basic home systems to large-scale commercial or industrial solutions.

Cameras & video

We design camera positions against a coverage plan rather than mounting where it's convenient — entries, car parks, docks, lifts, mailrooms and perimeters. UniFi Protect cameras run over the same PoE network as everything else, so there's no separate DVR, no coax and no second app. Footage is recorded locally on an NVR with retention set to suit the site, and viewing is role-based so the right people see the right cameras.

Local NVR recording — no subscription for basic recording or app access
Retention configured to the site's policy
NDAA-compliant hardware available for sensitive sites

Access control

Entry security ranging from smart doorbells and locks for home to commercial door access with integrated cloud or localised control systems.

Door access & intercom

Keys get lost, copied and never handed back. We replace them with fobs, cards, PINs or mobile credentials on UniFi Access or Hikvision hardware, so a credential is issued or revoked in seconds and every entry is logged with a timestamp. We integrate readers with intercoms, lift controllers, roller doors and custom door hardware, and we make sure the fail-safe and fail-secure behaviour matches what the building actually needs.

Door controllers, readers and electric strikes or mag locks
Fob, card, PIN and mobile credentials with full audit trail
Video intercoms with mobile answering, including 2-wire retrofits
Lift and gate integration for multi-tenant buildings

Platforms

UniFi first. Not UniFi only.

Ubiquiti UniFi is our default and the majority of what we install. But the building decides. Where existing cabling, an existing camera fleet or a specific requirement rules UniFi out, we specify and install the hardware that actually fits — rather than forcing a platform onto a site that won't take it.

Ubiquiti UniFi

Default

Network, WiFi, Protect cameras and Access door control on one platform, managed from one interface, with no subscription for basic recording or app access. This is what we lead with, and what most sites get.

Hikvision

CCTV, alarms and two-wire video intercom. The practical choice when a building's existing riser cabling rules out an IP retrofit, or when an existing camera fleet is too recent to justify replacing.

TP-Link Omada

Managed access points and switching, typically where a site is already standardised on Omada or has existing Omada hardware worth keeping rather than replacing.

Teltonika

Industrial 4G and 5G routers for failover and remote sites — the difference between EFTPOS staying up and losing a trading day when the primary line drops.

Yealink

Desk phones, handsets and headsets running on the network already in the building, on their own VLAN with QoS so a call doesn't degrade behind a large upload.

APC

Rack and desktop UPS. The gear that carries the switch, the gateway and the recorder through a brownout instead of bringing them back with a corrupted array.

Whatever goes in is specified against the site and quoted with the installation — browsethe full product range.

How we work

Six steps, every job.

The same sequence whether it's a four-camera café or a 250-lot apartment block. Nothing gets installed before it's been designed.

Step 01
Assessment
A site visit with a WiFi analyser: coverage mapped, interference sources found, construction materials assessed and existing cabling checked for reuse.
Step 02
Design
Access point locations, camera and door schedules, switch capacity, VLAN structure and cabling routes — documented and handed to you before any work begins.
Step 03
Cabling
Cat6 or Cat6A back to a central patch panel, terminated and tested, with the switch mounted in a wall cabinet or rack. Everything labelled as it goes in.
Step 04
Install
Hardware mounted where the design says it goes. Scissor lifts and EWPs for high ceilings — our team holds current White Cards and carries SWMS documentation.
Step 05
Configure
SSIDs secured with WPA3 or WPA2, VLANs tagged across the switch, roaming thresholds tuned, cameras added to Protect, readers enrolled, then a full throughput and roaming test.
Step 06
Handover
A walk-through of the dashboard, admin credentials in your name, and as-built documentation covering cable routes, device locations and VLAN structure.

Who we work with

Different buildings fail in different ways.

A 90-apartment strata block, a hotel at full occupancy and a 3,000m² warehouse each break for their own reasons. Pick the one that looks like your site.

Browse the products

Common property, one system

Owners Corporation & Strata

Video intercom retrofits, car park and common-area CCTV, door and lift access, and the documentation a committee needs to approve and budget the work.

Commercial Offices

High-density WiFi, VLAN segmentation, redundant internet, cameras and door access — installed after hours so nobody loses a working day.

Hotels, Motels & Short Stay

Guest WiFi across every room, corridor and car park, branded captive portals, Protect cameras and self check-in access control.

Bars, Cafés & Restaurants

Separate guest and staff networks so payments never share a lane with the public, plus cameras over the bar, car park and back of house.

Warehouses & Factories

Racking, steel and concrete tilt-up walls make a hostile RF environment. We survey, then design for scanners, WMS traffic and dock coverage.

FAQs

Questions we get before the first site visit.

Do you supply the hardware or just install it?

Both. We supply, configure and install the gear as one job, which means one point of responsibility if something needs to be swapped or reworked. You can also browse the range we install and send us a list through the Network Builder.

Do we have to be on UniFi?

UniFi is what we engineer on by default — one platform for network, cameras and door access, managed from a single console with no subscription for basic recording or management. Where a building's existing wiring or compliance requirements call for something else, such as a Hikvision 2-wire intercom retrofit, we'll design around that instead.

Can you work around our operating hours?

Yes. After-hours, weekend and staged works are standard for offices, venues, warehouses and occupied buildings. We coordinate with your site manager and schedule cable runs and installs around trading or production hours.

What documentation do we get at the end?

As-built drawings showing cable routes, device locations and VLAN structure, labelled ports and racks, admin credentials in your name, and a walk-through of the dashboard. If we vanished tomorrow you would still understand your network. There's more detail in what to expect from a UniFi installation.

Which parts of Melbourne do you cover?

Servicing metropolitan Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and regional Victoria. We're a service-area business — we come to you for the site assessment and the install.
