CCTV provides peace of mind and clear visibility especially in areas where neighbourhood theft or suspicious activity has been reported.
While we don’t publish statistics directly, NZ Police and local security data consistently show that visible cameras are among the strongest deterrents against home invasion and property crime.
During installation, our technicians recommend placing cameras in locations that offer wide, useful coverage without compromising personal privacy.
Common coverage areas include:
We avoid placing cameras in areas where there may be legal or privacy concerns, such as bedrooms or directly filming neighbouring properties.
These components work together to alert you when something is wrong and provide recorded evidence when needed. We also offer add-ons such as duress alarms and environmental sensors.
While other CCTV systems may leave you with messy installs, outdated tech, or unreliable coverage, Armstrong delivers solutions that actually work. A properly designed and installed system ensures clear footage, accurate monitoring, and peace of mind when it matters most.
With Armstrong, you’re not just buying cameras — you’re getting expert advice, professional installation, and a security system that’s ready from day one.
If you are unsure about what you need, an on-site assessment can help. Our team will:
After installation, we provide:
Technical issues are addressed promptly, and our team is always available if something stops working.
Continuous surveillance gives you greater control and peace of mind. Our systems can record continuously or be set to record on motion. If connected to an alarm, footage begins the moment the system is triggered.
We also offer 24/7 monitoring services. While we do not dispatch guards, alerts can be sent to you or to a monitoring centre, and systems are designed to reduce false alarms to prevent costly or unnecessary callouts.
Failsafe features include:
This helps ensure your system keeps working, even during outages.
Generally, no. Under New Zealand privacy laws, you should only record within the boundaries of your own property.
You must position your cameras so they do not film "private" areas of your neighbour's home, such as bedrooms, living areas, or their backyard. If your camera captures a shared driveway or a small part of the street, it is usually acceptable, provided the primary purpose is securing your own property.
It depends on the system you choose. If you install a system with a local Network Video Recorder (NVR), your footage is stored on a hard drive inside your home, meaning there are no monthly subscription fees.
However, if you choose a cloud-based camera (like some wireless smart cameras), you may need to pay a small monthly subscription to store and access your video history online.
You should be very careful with audio. Recording conversations without the participants' consent can be a breach of the Crimes Act and privacy regulations in New Zealand.
For this reason, we often recommend disabling audio recording on outdoor residential cameras to avoid accidentally capturing private conversations from the street or neighbouring properties.
Yes. Most of the cameras we install come with built-in Infrared (IR) night vision, which allows them to "see" in pitch black by projecting invisible light, producing a clear black-and-white image.
We also offer "ColorVu" or low-light cameras that can capture full-colour video at night, provided there is a small amount of ambient light nearby, such as a street lamp or garden light.
Yes, as long as your home internet connection is active and your system is connected to it.
You can use a secure smartphone app to view live feeds and playback recorded footage from anywhere in the world, giving you peace of mind while you are on holiday.
