Security Cameras in Hobart, TAS

From the historic streets of Battery Point and Sandy Bay to the family suburbs of Howrah, Kingston, and Glenorchy, Hobart properties face a unique mix of conditions, frosty winter mornings, wet windy weather off the Derwent, long dark evenings, and the everyday risks of protecting heritage homes and modern builds alike. 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.

Built for Hobart's Cool Climate

Hobart's weather is no joke. Winter mornings drop below zero, summer rarely cracks 30°C, and the wind off Mt Wellington brings rain, frost, and the occasional snow flurry. Cheap cameras struggle with that range. KeldCo cameras are tested for real Australian conditions.

• IP66-rated weatherproofing handles frost, rain, and Derwent winds

• Cold-tolerant batteries that keep working through Tasmanian winters

• UV-stable casings that won't crack despite high-altitude UV exposure

Reliable Across Hobart and Beyond

Practical Setup Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my neighbour legally point a security camera at my property?

In Tasmania, neighbours can install cameras on their own property, but the Listening Devices Act 1991 (Tas) makes it illegal to record private conversations without consent. The Police Offences Act 1935 (Tas) also covers observation or recording for improper purposes. Cameras deliberately aimed at your home, especially private areas like bedrooms or bathrooms, may breach these laws. If you're concerned, raise it with your neighbour first, then escalate through the Tasmanian Ombudsman or seek legal advice.

What is the best security camera without a 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. They're ideal for Hobart homes that want long-term protection without surprise costs.

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, especially in older Hobart homes. 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 costly cabling, ideal for heritage cottages, suburban homes, and rural Tasmanian properties.

Which security camera is least likely to be hacked?

Cameras that store footage locally and don't rely on cloud servers are the hardest to hack remotely. KeldCo's Solar Camera Pro 3.0 WiFi and Home Guardian Indoor Video Camera both save footage to local SD cards, use encrypted connections, and don't expose your data to third-party cloud platforms, dramatically reducing your risk compared to subscription-based brands.

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, especially during long, dark Tasmanian winter nights.
