Security Cameras in Canberra, ACT

From the established streets of Yarralumla and Red Hill to the newer suburbs of Gungahlin and Molonglo Valley, Canberra homes face a unique set of security challenges, frosty winters, hot dry summers, large blocks, and bushfire-prone fringes. KeldCo security cameras are built to handle Australian conditions, with weatherproof hardware, no subscriptions, and footage you fully own.

Founded by Australians Erin and Josh Salkeld after personal break-ins, KeldCo offers locally-supported, subscription-free cameras that put control of your footage back in your hands.

Built for Canberra's Climate

The ACT runs cold. Winter mornings regularly drop below zero, and summer afternoons can push past 35°C. Cheap cameras struggle with that range. KeldCo cameras are designed and tested for real Australian conditions.

Things to Know Before You Buy in the ACT

Before installing security cameras around your Canberra property, here are a few practical and legal points worth understanding.

ACT Privacy Laws

• The Listening Devices Act 1992 (ACT) prohibits recording private conversations without consent

• The Information Privacy Act 2014 (ACT) governs how personal information is handled

• Optical surveillance of neighbouring private spaces may breach privacy expectations

• Disputes can be raised through the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT)

• Businesses should display visible signage and follow workplace privacy obligations

Practical Setup Tips

• Mount cameras 2.5–3 metres high to deter tampering and improve coverage

• Angle cameras toward entry points: front doors, garages, side gates

• Test cameras through both winter frosts and summer heat before relying on them

• Keep cameras clear of frost build-up in colder Canberra months

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my neighbour allowed to have a camera pointed at my house?

In the ACT, neighbours can install cameras on their own property, but the Listening Devices Act 1992 (ACT) makes it illegal to record private conversations without consent. Cameras deliberately aimed at your home, especially private areas like bedrooms or backyards, may also breach privacy expectations. If you're concerned, raise it with your neighbour first, then escalate through ACAT or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner if unresolved.

What is the best security camera with no monthly fee?

KeldCo cameras come with no monthly fees, ever. The Solar Camera Pro 3.0 WiFi, Solar Camera Pro 2.0 4G, and Home Guardian Indoor Video Camera all record locally to SD card with full feature access, no premium tiers, no cloud subscriptions, just one-time purchase.

What security system do burglars hate?

Burglars avoid homes with visible, motion-activated cameras, bright spotlights, and two-way audio. KeldCo's Solar Camera Pro 3.0 WiFi combines all three, with AI detection that triggers instant alerts and lets you speak directly to anyone on your property. Visible, well-placed cameras significantly reduce break-in attempts.

Is it better to have wired or wireless security cameras?

It depends on your property. Wired cameras offer reliable, continuous power and are great for permanent setups, but installation can be costly and intrusive. Wireless and solar cameras like the KeldCo Solar Camera Pro 3.0 WiFi are easier to install, work in spots without nearby power, and avoid the cost of running cabling, ideal for most Canberra homes and rural ACT properties.

Is it legal for my neighbour to record me with their Ring camera?

In the ACT, your neighbour can use a Ring camera on their own property, but recording private conversations without consent is illegal under the Listening Devices Act 1992 (ACT). Cameras filming inside your private spaces or capturing audio from your home may breach privacy laws. Politely raise the issue first; if unresolved, ACAT or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner can help.
