What Chippendale homes and businesses usually need.
Chippendale is a small, dense suburb between Central Station and the University of Sydney: narrow streets of Victorian terraces, the Central Park apartment towers, and galleries, cafes and small businesses around Kensington Street.
Many Chippendale homes are terraces with the front door straight onto the footpath and no front yard, so a doorbell is often the whole front-of-house job. Share houses and apartments near the universities often want a camera on the shared entry, which in a strata building needs the owners corporation's agreement first.
Typical jobs in Chippendale
- Doorbell for a terrace opening onto the footpath
- Shared-entry camera for a share house
- Gallery, studio or cafe cameras
Heritage streets
Much of the City of Sydney is covered by heritage conservation areas, and changes to the street front of a period home can need council approval. Small wire-free cameras rarely cause trouble when they’re fitted with care: we keep them off decorative facades, fix into mortar rather than brick or sandstone, and use a doorbell or a camera inside looking out where the front matters most. If your home is heritage-listed, check with council before anything goes on the front.
Apartments and strata
Inside your own apartment you can usually put a camera where you like, as long as it isn’t recording your neighbours’ homes. Corridors, building entries, car parks and most external walls are common property, so a camera there generally needs your owners corporation’s approval. A camera inside watching your front door, or on a balcony that’s part of your lot, avoids the question.
What actually goes missing
Theft from homes in the City of Sydney area (parcels, bikes, things taken from front yards and through open doors) is well above the NSW average and rose over the two years to June 2026. Break-ins are a smaller part of the picture, which is why most jobs here start with the front door. Source: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, council-area figures.

Learn moreDo you install security cameras in Chippendale?
Yes. Chippendale is about 2 km from our base in Erskineville, inside our standard service area, so there's no travel charge. Most home jobs are done in a single visit.
Can you put cameras on a terrace without damaging it?
Yes. Everything we fit is battery, solar or Wi-Fi, so there's no cabling through the house and nothing to make good. We fix into mortar joints rather than face brick or sandstone where we can, keep cameras under eaves or to the side of the door, and use doorbells or cameras inside looking out on the street side.
I live in an apartment. Can I still have a camera?
Usually, yes. A camera inside your apartment watching the door, or on a balcony that's part of your lot, is the simplest option. Anything fixed to common property (often the corridor, external walls and building entries) generally needs your owners corporation's approval first, so check your by-laws or ask your strata manager. We'll help you work out which is which.
Do you install cameras for businesses in Chippendale?
Yes: shops, cafes, offices, studios, workshops and warehouses. Wire-free cameras suit leased premises because there's no cabling into the building and they move with you. See our business page for multi-camera and per-camera cloud plans.
What if there's no power or Wi-Fi where the camera needs to go?
Solar cameras (from $199) handle spots with no power, such as a back fence, gate or detached garage. 4G cameras (from $249) run on a SIM and don't need your Wi-Fi at all.
Are you licensed?
Yes. WireFree Security - David Oldmeadow NSW Master Security Licence No. 000111515. You can check it with NSW Police Security Licensing & Enforcement.
