CCTV - Security Cameras Surveillance Systems
CCTV is all about evidence. At Eversafe we hear it all too often from customers trying to save money, that “we only need this level of resolution”. Remember the better... the resolution the better the evidence. If you skimp on resolution it could cost you in the long run, especially if you can’t ID someone or something.
Most businesses in the automotive industry like car yards and mechanics’ workshops have had problems with theft of cars by offenders pretending to be customers that want to test drive a vehicle. Other problems are disgruntled customers, OH&S management, property damage and burglaries. By installing security cameras, they will not only help prevent all these from happening, but you will also have better control of your business through being able to manage your staff whether it be onsite or remotely. Surveillance camera systems will help you protect your business and improve your company’s overall exposure to risk. If anything does happen, recorded video footage can be used as evidence.

Access Control Systems
Many businesses have a need to monitor personnel access and businesses dealing with cash or valuable merchandise are common users of access control systems. Common areas to cover in a... factory or warehouse are offices, store rooms or entry gates and turnstiles, R & D areas and guard houses. We would also advise you to install access control on any door or any entry point that may leave you are your staff vulnerable from outside attacks either during or outside business hours.
The actual set-up of the system will depend on the needs of the business, but there are some standard requirements. One common features of a typical access control system is the generation of user activity reports.
For some practical issues when considering access control for your manufacturing property, see Access Control Systems for Business
If you are considering an Access Control System, call Eversafe today on 03 900 10 900 and let one of our security specialists point you in the right direction.
Alarm Systems
A commercial grade intrusion detection system will help protect your assets and your property. Security alarm devices are standard for many businesses. If your budget is tight, at Eversafe we... recommend you have an alarm system as a minimum requirement for your business. Think of it this way, an alarm system tells an intruder to get out and CCTV captures the evidence. If you have CCTV on its own, then the intruder can stay inside for as long as they like, until they find your recording device and steal it. There goes your evidence! Be proactive not reactive. Too many people install alarm systems after the fact, when it’s too late. Don’t become another statistic call, install an alarm system.

Alarm Monitoring
How often have you heard, and then ignored, an alarm siren coming from a building or a vehicle?
In today’s fast paced society, we have become desensitized to these sounds... and may also not want to get involved as it may put us at risk as well.
Hence the need for a 24hr security monitoring and patrol service.
When your alarm notifies our Melbourne security monitoring centre of an emergency or disturbance, our control room operators will:
- first call your premises to validate whether a false alarm has occurred
- notify you via your contact response list
- once we have made contact with you, you have the option to instruct us to send out a patrol car to attend your premises
CCTV may record problem activity, but alarm monitoring gives you a definitive timeline of the intrusion making it easier to locate the correct footage via your CCTV Surveillance system. You may also need to consider Security Monitoring for Insurance purposes. High Risk businesses such as Jewellery Stores, Pharmacies, Pubs and Gaming venues must have Security Monitoring either by Law or to satisfy Insurance requirements.
Communication Types: These days there are many ways an alarm system can communicate alarm events to a control room. Traditionally alarm systems have used Dialler Monitoring over PSTN (Landlines) to communicate to a security control room. This is slowly being phased out as NBN (National Broadband Network) is being rolled out around Australia.
- In most cases at Eversafe we are future proofing our customers by switching them over to GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). GPRS is a packet oriented mobile data service which uses the 3 or 4G mobile network. This is the highest level of security communication that we have due to the fact that the GPRS units are dual sim ie. If the Telstra network fails it will automatically use the Optus network. The GPRS unit also sends a polling signal to the control room (like a heartbeat) at predetermined intervals. If the control room fails to receive the polling signal, then the control room will contact you to alert you to the poll failure. Because the GPRS unit uses the Mobile network there is no phone cable to tamper with making your system even more secure.
- IP Monitoring: IP Monitoring is similar to GPRS except that it uses the internet to send signals to the control room. It is not as secure for the following reasons,
- Must ensure you have your modem connected to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply like a backup battery) this is to prevent communication failure in the event of a power failure.
- Also an intruder can cut the cable to your internet causing a comms failure. With both GPRS & IP Monitoring you won’t have the call costs associated with Dialler Monitoring which helps offset the extra cost of GPRS or IP Monitoring.
If you are considering security monitoring for your business call Eversafe today on 03 900 10 900 and let one of our security specialists point you in the right direction.
CCTV Video Monitoring
Another form of monitoring is CCTV video monitoring. Video monitoring is for those customers that need that next level of service and security. Video monitoring takes you out of harm’s... way.
In the event that your alarm system reports of a burglary to the control room, the control room operator will log on to your CCTV system and will only contact you if they have visual verification of an intruder onsite. This stops you or your staff from being woken up at 3am in the morning and also minimises the need for unnecessary Patrol callouts saving you time and money.
Video monitoring is a cost effective solution which reduces the exposure to risk for all stakeholders and maximises security with a quicker response time.

Why Security Is Essential for Manufacturing Businesses
Manufacturing sites handle high volumes of stock, materials and daily people movement – staff, contractors, customers and delivery drivers. With significant assets at stake, security becomes a core operational requirement, not an optional extra.
What You’re Protecting
- Inventory and raw materials – easy to move, hard to trace
- Machinery and plant equipment – costly to replace, worse in downtime
- Property and premises – buildings, yards, loading docks, perimeter
- Employee safety – staff working across all shifts
Common Security Risks
- Internal theft – stock and tooling taken by employees or contractors
- Materials handling – losses during movement, loading and dispatch
- OH&S management – monitoring high-risk areas and verifying incidents
- Property damage – burglaries, vandalism and graffiti
The right system deters theft, reduces property damage and saves your business money long term – recovering losses that go straight to your bottom line.Looking for the best manufacturing security specialist in Melbourne? Talk to one of our experienced experts today!
Manufacturing Security - FAQs
What does a manufacturing security specialist actually do?
A manufacturing security specialist designs security around the way your facility operates, rather than fitting a generic alarm package. At Eversafe, that means assessing your site layout, shift patterns, stock movement and high-risk zones, then specifying the right mix of CCTV, access control, alarms and 24/7 monitoring. With 25+ years protecting more than 1,000 Australian businesses, we know a factory floor, a loading dock and an R&D room each need a different approach.
How much does a security system for a factory or warehouse cost in Melbourne?
Cost depends on the size of the site, the number of entry points, how many cameras are needed for full coverage, and whether you add access control and 24/7 monitoring. Because every manufacturing site is different, we quote after a free on-site security assessment so you’re paying for coverage you actually need — not cameras pointed at empty walls. Call 03 900 10 900 or request an assessment to get a fixed quote.
What type of CCTV cameras are best for a factory or warehouse?
For manufacturing environments we recommend high-resolution cameras, because the better the resolution, the better the evidence. Large open floors, high ceilings, loading docks and low-light or dusty conditions all affect camera choice — including lens type, IP rating and whether you need vandal-resistant or thermal options. We specify camera type per zone during the site assessment rather than using one model across the whole facility.
Can CCTV and access control help stop employee theft?
Yes — this is one of the most common issues manufacturers come to us with. Access control restricts who can enter storerooms, R&D areas and high-value stock zones, and creates a time-stamped record of every entry. CCTV covering stock movement, dispatch and staff entry points then provides visual evidence if discrepancies appear. Used together, they act as both a deterrent and an audit trail.
What's the difference between an alarm system and CCTV - do I need both?
They do two different jobs. An alarm system tells an intruder to get out; CCTV captures the evidence of what happened. An alarm is the minimum security requirement for a manufacturing site, but on its own it won’t tell you who entered, what was taken or how. Most of our manufacturing clients run both, with monitoring layered on top.
What happens when my alarm is triggered after hours?
Our 24/7 monitoring centre receives the signal immediately. Operators verify whether it’s a genuine activation or a false alarm, notify you or your nominated contacts, and can dispatch a patrol vehicle to attend the site on request. Signals are transmitted via GPRS (dual-SIM mobile network) or IP monitoring, so your system stays connected even if a phone line is cut.
How is CCTV video monitoring different from alarm monitoring?
Alarm monitoring responds to a sensor being triggered. CCTV video monitoring means our operators view your live camera feeds and only contact you once a threat has been visually verified — so you’re not woken up for a possum or a passing truck. It’s particularly useful for large outdoor yards, perimeter fencing and sites with high-value stock stored externally.
Can a security system help with workplace health and safety compliance?
It can support it. Cameras covering forklift routes, materials handling areas and loading docks give you footage to review after an incident, help verify what happened during a claim, and highlight unsafe practices before they cause injury. Access control also keeps unauthorised staff and visitors out of restricted or hazardous areas.
Can you integrate with or upgrade our existing security system?
In most cases, yes. During the assessment we review what’s already installed, identify what can be retained or upgraded, and flag equipment that’s reached end of life or no longer covers the site properly. Where possible we build on your existing infrastructure so the upgrade is staged and cost-effective rather than a full rip-and-replace.
Do you service manufacturing sites across all of Melbourne?
Yes. We’re based in Richmond and service manufacturing, industrial and warehouse sites across metropolitan Melbourne and greater Victoria, including the northern, western and south-eastern industrial precincts.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt production?
Timeframes depend on the size of the system, but most installations are scheduled around your production hours — including after hours and weekends — to avoid stopping the line. We confirm the schedule and staging before work starts so you know exactly what’s happening on site and when.
How do I get started?
