Security Cameras on the Central Coast, NSW

From the beachside streets of Terrigal and Avoca to the family suburbs of Gosford, Wyong, and Woy Woy, Central Coast properties face a real mix of security challenges, salty coastal air, summer storms, holiday-home turnover, and the everyday risks of a busy commuter region. KeldCo security cameras are built for it, 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 designed for real Australian homes and businesses.

Things to Know Before You Buy in NSW

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

NSW Privacy Laws

Practical Setup Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the rules for security cameras in NSW?

In NSW, security cameras are governed primarily by the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW). You can install cameras on your own property, but it's illegal to record private conversations without consent or to use cameras to monitor private areas of neighbouring properties. Businesses recording on premises should display clear signage. Disputes can be raised through NCAT or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

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

Neighbours can install cameras on their own property, but the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW) restricts the use of cameras to record private activities without consent. Cameras deliberately aimed at your home, especially private areas, may breach privacy laws. If you're concerned, raise it with your neighbour first, then escalate through NCAT or seek legal advice.

What are the top 5 outdoor security cameras?

The best outdoor cameras combine weatherproofing, local storage, and no subscription traps. KeldCo's top picks include the Solar Camera Pro 3.0 WiFi, Solar Camera Pro 2.0 4G, and Home Guardian Indoor Video Camera for indoor coverage. All offer IP66 weatherproofing, AI motion detection, and zero monthly fees, making them ideal for Central Coast homes.

What is the legal difference between a security camera and a surveillance camera?

Legally, the terms are largely interchangeable, both refer to devices used to capture video for monitoring purposes. The key legal distinction lies in how they're used. A camera becomes a "surveillance device" under the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW) when used to record private activities without consent. The label matters less than purpose, placement, and whether the recording captures audio or private spaces.

Do you need permission to put up a security camera?

You don't need permission to install a security camera on your own property, including most homes and rental properties (with landlord approval for rentals). However, if your camera captures audio of private conversations, monitors neighbours' private spaces, or is installed in a workplace, additional consent or signage rules apply under NSW law. Strata properties may also require body corporate approval for external installations.
