Installing home security cameras is one of the most effective ways to protect your property. Modern systems from companies like Lowkeys Security make it easier than ever to monitor your home from your phone, deter crime, and gain peace of mind.

But while security cameras protect your household, they can also raise concerns — especially when they’re positioned near neighbouring properties. If not handled thoughtfully, a well-intentioned security upgrade can unintentionally create tension.

Here’s how to approach CCTV installation ethically and respectfully.

Be Considerate of Your Neighbours

Before installation even begins, take a moment to view the project from your neighbour’s perspective.

Security cameras can look intrusive. Even if your intention is purely to monitor your driveway, entry points, or yard, a camera mounted high on a wall may appear to be watching next door. Perception matters just as much as reality.

A good rule of thumb: if the placement looks like it’s directly facing someone else’s property, consider whether there’s a better location available.

Placement Matters

Camera positioning is everything.

• Looking across part of a neighbouring yard is usually unavoidable — and generally acceptable — particularly in suburban environments where properties are close together.
• However, installing a camera at close proximity to a neighbour’s house and pointing it directly at their window or private living area is far more likely to create issues.

Even if you have no intention of invading privacy, that positioning can feel invasive.

When planning your system, aim cameras at:

• Your entry points
• Your driveway
• Your garage
• Your fence line

If you can adjust an angle slightly to avoid directly capturing a neighbour’s window or doorway, do it. Small changes make a big difference.

If You See a Potential Issue — Talk First

If you think there’s even a small chance your neighbour may feel uncomfortable, the best approach is simple: talk to them before installation.

Explain:

• Why you’re getting cameras
• Where they’ll be placed
• What areas they’re meant to cover

Form a plan together and agree on positioning. This avoids misunderstandings and builds trust.

Your neighbour should ideally feel reassured — not stressed — that you’re improving security. After all, visible security cameras often benefit the entire street by deterring suspicious activity.

Use Privacy Screening Features

Modern CCTV systems often include privacy masking or privacy screening features. These allow you to digitally block out specific areas of the camera’s view — such as a neighbour’s yard or window — even if the lens technically captures that direction.

This is particularly helpful in situations where:

• Houses are close together
• Avoiding part of a neighbouring yard is physically impossible
• You need wide coverage for your own property

Privacy masking demonstrates goodwill and makes it clear you respect boundaries.

Show Them the Live View

One of the most effective ways to ease concerns is transparency.

Once installation is complete, invite your neighbour to see the live camera feed on your phone app. It’s surprisingly difficult to judge exactly what a camera can see just by looking at it from the outside.

When they see:

• The limited field of view
• The angle
• The masked areas

It often eliminates suspicion immediately.

Prevent Disputes Before They Happen

There is almost always a solution to concerns about camera placement.

Resolving potential disagreements before installation saves everyone time and money. The last thing you want is a costly revisit from the installer to relocate or remove equipment after tensions arise.

Clear communication upfront prevents unnecessary stress.

Work With Installers Who Understand Privacy

Professional installers should understand that security and privacy must coexist.

Reputable providers like Lowkeys Security recognise that making neighbours feel comfortable is part of a responsible installation. During planning and installation, they should actively look for ways to avoid privacy issues wherever possible.

Be a Good Neighbour

At the end of the day:

• You’re not installing cameras to watch your neighbours.
• You’re installing them to protect your home and family.
• Your upgrade shouldn’t make others feel like they’re being monitored.

Be respectful. Communicate clearly. Sell them on the benefits — increased neighbourhood safety, deterrence of theft, and added peace of mind.

Good security protects everyone. Good neighbours make sure it feels that way.

With thoughtful planning and open conversation, CCTV can strengthen community safety — not strain it.

Why Your Home Alarm Should Have More Than One User Code

When it comes to keeping your home or business safe, every little detail counts — and one of the most overlooked security features is multiple user codes for your alarm system. At Lowkey Security, Auckland’s trusted alarm installation and monitoring specialists, we often remind our customers that having just one code for everyone is not only inconvenient but can also make it harder to track who’s coming and going.

What Are User Codes?

User codes are the unique PINs or access codes used to arm and disarm your alarm system. Most modern alarm systems — from Hikvision, Paradox, DSC, to Bosch — allow you to set up multiple codes. Each code can be assigned to a specific family member, flatmate, employee, or even a cleaner or tradesperson.

Why You Should Use Multiple Alarm Codes

Using more than one user code is about more than just convenience. Here’s why it’s a smart security move:

1. Track Who’s Using the Alarm

When each person has their own code, you can easily see who disarmed or armed the system and when. This is especially helpful for:

• Families with teenagers coming and going at different times
• Shared homes or Airbnbs
• Small businesses with multiple staff

2. Improve Accountability

If something goes missing or there’s an incident, having separate user codes helps you identify exactly who accessed the property. It’s a simple but effective layer of accountability.

3. Easily Remove or Change Access

If a staff member leaves, or you stop using a cleaner, you can simply delete or change their individual code — without affecting everyone else’s access.

4. Better Security Control

Using one shared code means that anyone who learns it — intentionally or not — can access your system. With multiple user codes, you reduce that risk and maintain tighter control over who can enter your property.

How to Set Up Multiple Alarm Codes

If your alarm was installed by Lowkey Security, our technicians can help you add, edit, or delete user codes in minutes. We also provide remote support and training so you can manage codes yourself via your keypad or mobile app.

If your alarm system was installed by another provider, we can still help. Our team services most major brands and can show you how to take full advantage of your system’s features — including user code management.

Stay Secure with Lowkey Security Auckland

Whether you’re a homeowner or business owner, taking control of who has access to your alarm system is essential. Setting up multiple user codes is a small step that makes a big difference in your overall security.

Lowkey Security provides professional alarm installation, maintenance, and monitoring services across Auckland, New Zealand. Our local team can help you get the most out of your alarm system — keeping your property safe, secure, and smart.

The following is a personal opinion piece, not sponsored. Based on my expereiences as an installer of the following three major Chinese brands of CCTV. I am biased by my low tolerance of over-pricing and lack of features that should exist by now in some brands. I have formed by own preference through hands on experience and I’d like to take the chance here to share it with anyone who’s interested so that you might not miss out on some really good product because someone whos accustomed to mediocrity convinced you otherwise…

We get asked this question a lot. It’s hard for a potential buyer to know which brand to get because unless you’re an installer putting all these different brands in all the time, getting to know each ones strengths and shortcomings, you only know what you see when you’re out and about.

When your at your local fresh produce market you’ll probably see a Dahua camera. Mum and Dad businesses often are on a tight budget when it comes to security and Dahua is the cheapest camera brand out these. It’s everywhere. But is it any good?

Not really. It works. It’s good enough. But it’s pretty lackluster. It picture quality falls apart at night and the over all video quality is dated.

Remote access? The app is nice. It works and end users rarely get confused. Sometimes you have to remind them how to get to playback.

What about Hik Vision? Go shopping in town, your local supermarket, clothing store, places with more capital to invest in security often end up with Hik Vision. They didn’t chose it, their installer did. It’s probably the only system they know, they’ve been putting it in for years and they’re not about to change to a different brand. That’s too hard.

Is it any good?

It depends. The build quality is excellent and they offer a very nice range of intercom products that integrate perfectly with their CCTV, giving you one app for everything.

By crikey it’s expensive though. It MUST be good if it costs that might, TAKE MY MONEY!

Now, if you don’t know, you don’t know. But installers who have strayed outside their product bubble know that there’s more to CCTV than Dahua vs Hik Vision. They also know that Hi Look is just Hik Vision product with a different name on the front. Hi Look just created a sort of low cost replica of Hik Vision aimed at the adventurous DIY’er.

Hik Vision’s video encoding is probably the worst so far, out of the box it’s set to 6 megabit per second (which is a lot) and motion is still smudgy, pixelated and downright awful. H.265 shouldn’t require this much bandwidth to capture a lowly little 6MP image, but it does. Say goodbye to about an extra week of storage to make up for the poor video codec.

Remote access? The app is great. But when you’ve been exposed to the wonderland of full browser access to the NVR and cameras without a static IP or port forwarding like Uniview is able to do, you’re left wondering why Hik Vision cannot manage even the most basic remote access for installer.

You’re limited to what IVMS can do and while you do have access to SOME parameters remotely, it like to pretend you’re on a 56K modem on dial-up just to load the system info page, let alone do anything useful. The software is heavy, clunky, the latest computer and graphics card struggle to keep up with this absolute monster. All it’s doing is showing you a few video feeds but you’re computer is dying, screaming for mercy as IVMS rips every thread from the 12 core XEON processor as if it were Chrome with a thousand tabs open. Why? Because it’s an all in one server package and IVMS Lite is obsolete.

All that aside though, Hik Vision is a quality product and it does it’s job. With the know-how and a whole lot of fine tuning, it will perform beautifully… for twice the price of Uniview.

Uniview… the 3rd most popular Chinese CCTV brand you haven’t heard of. It’s been around of over 10 years now, their R&D department have been working overtime to beat the competition in every aspect of their products.

Each year a new model comes out, new firmware updates pushed over-the-air, improvement after improvement. There were teething problems along the way but this young brand has matured into a class act.

8MP 4K video at only 3 megabit per second using H.265 is crystal clear, no motion smudging and a night time image that would make a soldiers night vision goggles break out into a sweat. A near by street light turns the entire area into a sunny afternoon picture.

Standard Uniview 5MP turret from 2020 at night under the dullest residential street light.

The app works. It’s easy to understand, you can fully program the whole system with it if you wanted to, all over the cloud. No open ports required, no fixed IP address. The entire NVR’s webpage can even be accessed thru the cloud. Where Hik Vision issues almost always require a tech to visit site, it’s such a small problem but I can’t get to that setting! Bummer. Uniview doesn’t suffer from any remote access limitations and the end user has full control, no need to worry about back doors either. Uniview is cleared to use in US Federal buildings… why isn’t Hik Vision or Dahua? Weird.

Uniview knows it has to be competitive, they cannot relay on installers who default to their product like they do Hik Vision, so it’s priced very fairly. It’s more than Dahua but it’s obvious why, it’s an order of magnitude better but only marginally more expensive. It’s almost half the cost of Hik Vision which makes you wonder why Hik haven’t stepped up with features to kick Uniview out of the industry. They’re propped up by installer habit and the perception that they’re “the best because i see it everywhere”.

Uniview offer product at both ends of the spectrum, they have Dahua comparable product at the right price and Hi-Tech, specialised cameras that over-take Hikvision without costing more than Hik. It’s an easy Choice.

What brand am I going to pick?

Take a wild guess.

It can be tricky getting Spark UFB working on Mikrotik RouterOS, but here’s a short snippet of the code I use to modify the default configuration on a new router.

The following code relates only to the removal of the default DHCP client on ether1 and adding a PPOE client to replace it. If your router has no default config, assume all the usual programming applies but your WAN interface will be called ppoe-wan instead of ether1 now. It should be added to a WAN list for firewall ease of use.

Always test bench your work before rolling out on a live site, and as always, do your research! This is not a complete turorial, but a guide to point you in the right direction. Have fun.

Uniview CCTV: NDAA Compliance and Why It Matters for Your Business

In recent years, security camera technology has become an essential part of safeguarding businesses, but not all CCTV systems are created equal. One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a surveillance solution is compliance with the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Uniview, a global leader in video surveillance, has taken deliberate steps to ensure its products meet NDAA requirements—something that should be on every business owner’s radar.

What Does NDAA Compliance Mean?

The NDAA, among other provisions, includes restrictions on the use of certain telecommunications and video surveillance equipment produced by specific manufacturers that are considered security risks. This legislation applies not only to U.S. federal agencies but also to any contractors, suppliers, and businesses working with them. For organizations that want to future-proof their security infrastructure and maintain eligibility for government or large-scale contracts, using NDAA-compliant products is essential.

Uniview’s Commitment to Compliance

Uniview has proactively aligned its product lines with NDAA regulations by eliminating restricted components from its cameras and recorders. This ensures that their systems can be deployed in sensitive environments—government facilities, defense contractors, critical infrastructure—without risking legal or contractual violations. This compliance isn’t just a checkbox; it’s a reflection of Uniview’s commitment to building secure, trustworthy, and globally accepted technology.

Why NDAA Compliance Should Matter to Your Business in Auckland

Even if your company doesn’t currently work with government agencies, NDAA compliance still matters. It reduces the risk of potential security vulnerabilities, ensures your system will meet the strictest procurement requirements, and protects your investment from costly replacements if your needs change in the future. Choosing NDAA-compliant equipment like Uniview’s not only safeguards your business today but also keeps you ready for tomorrow’s opportunities.

Talk to the Experts at Lowkey Security

If you’re in Auckland and looking to install a CCTV system that’s both high-performing and compliant with the most rigorous legal and security standards, Lowkey Security is the team to talk to. As an experienced provider and installer of Uniview systems, we know how to design and install CCTV setups that are safe, reliable, and tailored to your needs.

Lowkey Security – Auckland’s trusted choice for safe, future-proof CCTV.

If your CCTV recorder (NVR) starts beeping, it’s almost always a warning that the hard drive has failed. This is the part of your system that stores all recorded footage — and without it, nothing is being saved.

How to check:
Try to access the playback menu. If there’s no footage available, that confirms the drive has failed.

Unfortunately, the beeping cannot be silenced without addressing the issue — and since your system isn’t recording anyway, the best course of action is to power the system down and call a professional.

If you’re in Auckland, Lowkey Security can replace the faulty drive and get your system recording again quickly. Don’t leave your property unprotected — reach out today!

We service all brands of CCTV systems. Uniview, Hik-vision, Dahua, TVT, Ajax, and more!

Why Professionally Installed Security Cameras Outperform DIY Systems

When it comes to protecting your Auckland home or business, not all security cameras are created equal. Many people are drawn to the convenience of DIY systems from the local hardware store, but the reality is that these often fall short when you need them most. At Lowkey Security, we specialise in professional-grade, hardwired security systems that offer dependable, high-quality protection—without the headaches that come with DIY setups.

One of the biggest issues with DIY cameras is their reliance on Wi-Fi. People often underestimate how weak or inconsistent their wireless signal is around the outside of their property. This leads to common problems like video dropouts, laggy footage, or cameras going offline entirely—often right when something important happens. A professionally installed, hardwired system avoids these pitfalls altogether. It’s always connected, always recording, and doesn’t rely on Wi-Fi strength to do its job.

Beyond connectivity, DIY cameras simply don’t match the quality and reliability of a system installed by a professional. From image clarity to night vision, commercial-grade gear is built to perform under real-world conditions, day in and day out. It’s a true set-it-and-forget-it solution—no app glitches, no surprise battery failures, no blurry footage when you need detail. Just solid, continuous security you can count on.

Don’t waste money on a disappointment. If you want a security system that works properly from day one, give Lowkey Security a call on 021 120 8622. We’ll provide a quick, friendly estimate and help you secure your property the right way. Lowkey Security specialises in Auckland CCTV installations, as well as all your other security needs.

All alarms will beep when they have a problem, but you can quickly silense them, usually by pressing any button on the keypad.

Here’s how to silense some of the most common alarm systems…

Bosch Solution alarms:

The [ FAULT ] indicator will be flashing and you’ll hear a long angry beep every 60 seconds.

Press the [ #AWAY ] key (Don’t hold it though or else the alarm will Arm)

Paradox alarms: Press the [ CLEAR ] key. It sometimes helps to read the fault first. The [ TBL ] button should be lit up red indicating there’s a fault. Press [ TBL ] and note the number button that glows. Press [ CLEAR ] and the beeping should stop.

DSC alarms: Press the [ # ] key and the beeping should stop.

Arrowhead alarms: Press [ ENTER ] and the beeping should stop.

What do I do now?

The easiest way to figure out what’s going on is to call someone in your region with experience, the answer is a quick phone call away.

For Auckland service, Call me, Dave on 0211208622 and I can quickly help guide you through reading the fault condition and deciding the best course of action.

What’s the best alarm for your property?
