Worked example
A recent single-storey four-bedroom build in Melbourne's south-east. The full system — network, Wi-Fi 7, eight cameras, video intercom — came to $16,312 including GST. Here's where the money went.
| System | What was installed | Approx. |
|---|---|---|
| Backbone | Dream Machine Pro (10G), 12RU rack, 2200VA UPS, dedicated circuit, Pro Max 24 PoE switch, 3 double data points | $5,800 |
| Wi-Fi | 4× U7 Lite Wi-Fi 7 access points, ceiling mounted and hardwired | $2,600 |
| CCTV | 2× G6 Turret (4K) + 6× G5 Turret, recording locally to the Dream Machine | $5,400 |
| Intercom | G6 Entry intercom, Door Hub Mini, wall-mounted Intercom Viewer | $2,500 |

The biggest variable. Faster Wi-Fi standards carry a shorter distance, so modern homes need more APs than they used to — a large home may need eight, not four. We explain why in the FAQ.
Double-storey homes, concrete slabs, foil insulation and rendered brick all block signal and complicate cabling. New builds pre-wired at frame stage cost less than retrofits.
G5 covers most positions. G6 earns its premium at entries and driveways where 4K detail matters. Mixing models — G6 where it counts, G5 everywhere else — is how we keep camera budgets honest.
No rack, no UPS, no dedicated circuit, two APs where four belong. The hardware is identical on every quote — the design is what you're actually buying. A $4,000 network done right beats a $7,000 one done wrong.
And the number that matters most: $0/month. No camera storage subscriptions, no per-device licensing, no cloud fees. You own the lot.
