Where Childcare Centres Get Their Surveillance Security ★★★★★
In response to recent disturbing cases in early learning environments, State authorities have taken strong steps to ensure better transparency and safety in childcare centres. One of the key measures now being introduced is the mandatory installation of CCTV surveillance systems to monitor and record key areas within childcare premises.
Choose the Right CCTV Package — Based on Your Centre’s Size and Compliance Needs
- At Security Wholesalers, we understand that safety and compliance must go hand in hand with affordability. That’s why we recommend HiLook by Hikvision – a trusted, budget-friendly range of surveillance solutions perfect for childcare applications.
- Most centres find that 6–8 camera systems are suitable to cover entry points, play areas, sleep rooms, and common zones.
- Larger facilities or those with multiple indoor and outdoor areas may require 16 or 32-channel NVRs and a mix of fixed and turret cameras.

⚠️ Critical Security Concerns
Security Vulnerabilities We Address
Don’t let these common weaknesses put your childcare centre at risk. We design solutions to eliminate every blind spot.
Blind Spots Leave Children Vulnerable
Risk: Incidents can go unseen in corners, corridors, or during transitions between rooms — especially where staff aren’t always present.
✅ Our Solution: Wide-angle cameras with strategic placement to eliminate hidden zones and provide full situational awareness.
Missed Footage During Critical Moments
Risk: Lack of continuous recording or insufficient retention means vital evidence may be lost — especially when allegations arise weeks later.
✅ Our Solution: Reliable 24/7 recording with high-capacity storage and automatic backup — ensuring footage is there when you need it most.
Risk of False Accusations or Misunderstandings
Risk: Without clear footage, staff can be falsely accused or misunderstood — leading to damaged reputations, staff turnover, or legal stress.
✅ Our Solution: Crystal-clear video and audio footage for accountability, transparency, and protection of both staff and children.
Compliance Breaches & Costly Fines
Risk: Failing to meet state CCTV regulations can result in non-compliance penalties or restrictions during licence renewals.
✅ Our Solution: Fully compliant setups with help on signage, access logs, and footage security to meet all childcare regulatory standards.

| How Much Storage Do You Need? | |
| Storage Formula: Daily GB = (Camera Count × Bitrate × Hours per Day) ÷ 8 Total Days = Hard Drive GB ÷ Daily GB Example: 4 × 6MP cams @ H.265+, 20fps: • 2TB HDD ≈ 23 days • 4TB HDD ≈ 46 days • 8 cams = 23 days • 16 cams = 12 days |
