Property Type: Residential | Location: Bentleigh | Services: Alarm / CCTV
Bentleigh has seen a notable increase in residential security enquiries in recent years, and it is not hard to understand why. As local crime rates have risen across Melbourne’s inner south-east, homeowners are becoming more proactive about protecting their properties rather than waiting for an incident to prompt action. This client came to BPoint wanting a proper solution, not just a camera pointed at the front door.
Her primary concern was her vehicle. She wanted to know the moment anything moved near her car at night, with enough image quality to actually identify what was happening rather than squinting at a blurry thumbnail on her phone at 2am.
The camera system BPoint installed uses Provision ISR cameras with full night vision capability and DDA (Deep Learning Detection Analytics). The night vision performance on these cameras is a genuine strength: they deliver clear, usable footage in low-light conditions where cheaper cameras fall apart entirely. Combined with the DDA analytics and AI-driven object recognition, the system can be configured to track specific movement around the vehicle and trigger an alert when something relevant crosses into the defined zone. Random movement like a cat or a passing car can be filtered out, so the client only receives notifications that actually matter. That intelligence makes a meaningful difference to how useful the system is in practice.
Alongside the CCTV installation, a Bosch 3000 alarm system was fitted throughout the home. The Bosch 3000 is a well-proven platform in the residential market and a strong choice for a property of this type. It supports up to 16 zones, meaning the home can be divided into distinct areas that are armed, disarmed, or monitored independently depending on the time of day and who is home. Up to 32 different users can be assigned individual access codes, which is particularly useful for households where family members, a cleaner, or a tradesperson may need their own entry credentials without sharing a single code. The system also supports a wide range of keypad options, so the client could choose a panel that suited both her preferences and the aesthetic of her home’s entry.
The full system was installed by the BPoint team with care taken at every stage: camera placement was assessed for maximum coverage of the vehicle and key access points, cabling was concealed throughout, and the alarm zones were programmed to match the layout of the property. Before leaving, the team walked the client through every aspect of how the system works, from arming and disarming routines to checking camera footage and managing her notification settings.
She now has a home that is actively watching over her property at night, with a professional alarm system backing it up.
