Smart, Safe, and Reliable Surveillance Tailored for Early Learning Environments
Choosing the right CCTV system is about more than security—it’s about trust, transparency, and professionalism. At Serious Security, we specialise in Australian daycare CCTV systems that enhance child safety, support operational efficiency, and meet all legal and compliance needs for centres of any size.
From small family daycares to large early learning campuses, we design and install systems tailored to the unique demands of the early childhood education sector.
Why CCTV Matters in Australian Daycare Centres
Australian parents are increasingly focused on child safety, staff accountability, and open communication. CCTV systems help you:
- Monitor real-time activity in classrooms and outdoor areas
- Prevent unauthorised access, vandalism, or accidents
- Resolve concerns with clear video evidence
- Meet licensing and insurance compliance expectations
Surveillance is a tool for fostering trust and transparency in your daycare community.
Our Daycare-Specific CCTV Features
Each system is built with the needs of early childhood centres in mind:
- High-definition recording (4MP–8MP): Clearly capture child and staff interactions
- Smart alerts: Detect movement in key zones like gates or entrances
- Privacy-conscious camera placement: Avoids bathrooms and sleep rooms
- Mobile app access: Read-only or admin modes for directors
- Two-way audio: For direct communication with onsite staff
- Night vision and IR sensors: Secure after-hours coverage
Many setups include ColorVu and AcuSense technology for enhanced low-light performance and smart person/vehicle detection.
Choosing the Right System Based on Centre Size
Every centre is different. Below are our typical recommendations:
| Centre Size | Suggested System | Typical Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Small (1–2 rooms) | 4-Camera System | Entry, classroom, outdoor, admin area |
| Medium (3–5 rooms) | 6–8 Camera System | All classrooms, front/rear entry, yard |
| Large (Multi-site) | 10–16+ Camera System | All areas, extended storage, remote monitoring |
All systems include network video recorders (NVRs) with 1–4 weeks retention, and optional battery backup for added resilience.
