Complete Security System Cost Adelaide 2025: Budgeting the Right Way

A practical look at integrated system pricing for Adelaide homes and businesses.

A complete security system combines CCTV, alarm protection, and access control. The right budget depends on coverage goals, site complexity, and response needs.

What’s included in a complete system?

  • CCTV: Cameras, recording, and mobile access.
  • Alarm system: Sensors, control panel, and optional monitoring.
  • Access control: Keyless entry or controlled door access.

Typical budget ranges (Adelaide)

These ranges give a starting point for planning. Every site is different.

  • Small home system: $4,000–$8,000
  • Larger home system: $8,000–$14,000
  • Small business system: $7,000–$15,000
  • Multi-site or complex installs: $15,000+

What pushes costs up?

  • Coverage scope: More cameras and access points increase hardware costs.
  • High-risk areas: Better camera specs and monitoring for higher risk.
  • Integration needs: Linking alarms, CCTV, and access control adds setup time.

How to keep value high

  • Prioritise key access points first, then expand later.
  • Choose cameras with the right resolution, not just the highest.
  • Use monitoring only if it matches your risk profile.
