A fence or wall is the physical barrier; knowing when someone’s actually crossed it is a separate thing. We don’t install fencing — that’s a fencing contractor’s job — but we do cover the detection side: cameras and sensors that tell you when your boundary’s been crossed, whether there’s a fence there or not.
What we actually do
Cameras covering the boundary line, driveway or yard give you a visual record of anyone approaching. Paired with motion-sensor alarms, you get a notification the moment something’s detected rather than finding out after the fact. For most properties, that combination — a camera or two watching the main approach, and a motion sensor covering the yard — covers what people actually mean by “perimeter security.”
A large rural property is a different scale to a suburban block, but the principle’s the same: cover the approaches that actually matter (the driveway, gaps in the boundary) rather than trying to put a sensor on every metre of fence line.
If you already have a fence
Existing fencing gives us somewhere to mount cameras, which is often simpler and cheaper than a freestanding pole. If you’re planning new fencing and want cameras or sensors integrated from the start, it’s worth looping us in during the planning stage so mounting points and cabling can be considered before the fence goes up — but the fence itself is still a separate job for a fencing contractor.
Gates and access points
The boundary is only as secure as its weakest entry point. If you’ve got a driveway gate, our gate automation guide covers access control for that; for a business with a vehicle or pedestrian gate, see our access control guide.
Costs
Cost depends on how much boundary needs covering and how many cameras or sensors that takes — a single driveway is a different job to a large rural property boundary.
How Saint George Group can help
We’re a licensed NSW security installer (NSW master licence ML000111327). Whether it’s a camera over the driveway or alarm coverage around a larger boundary, get a CCTV and alarms quote and we’ll scope it to the property.
Quick answers
Do you install fencing? No — that’s a fencing contractor’s job. We do the cameras and sensors that detect when the boundary’s been crossed.
Can you add cameras to an existing fence? Yes, that’s a common and often cost-effective approach — the fence gives us a mounting point.
Knowing someone’s on your property matters more than the fence itself — a camera and a motion sensor cover that, regardless of what the boundary’s made of.
