Whether you're searching for "CCTV installation", "surveillance camera installation", or "security camera installation" — it's the same job, and Cabling For U does all of it. We're a Kiwi-owned Auckland cabling and connectivity company operating since 2018. Unlike camera-only specialists, we cable the whole system properly, because a security camera is only as reliable as the wiring behind it.
What a professional CCTV install includes
The cameras
2K or 4K IP cameras sized to your property — wide-angle for driveways, tighter lenses for entry points, with day/night IR or true colour night vision.
The recording
NVR-based local storage with optional cloud backup. You keep your footage — no monthly fee to access your own recordings.
The cabling
Concealed Cat6 or coax runs, Fluke-tested. PoE where suitable so one cable carries power and data. No trip hazards, no surface trunking unless you ask.
The setup
Smartphone remote viewing configured, secure passwords set (we never leave default credentials), motion zones tuned, and a walkthrough so you can actually use it.

Why cable the system properly
Most CCTV failures aren't camera faults — they're cabling faults. A camera fed by a poorly terminated cable will drop offline in the rain, lose night footage, or fail the moment you most need it. As a structured cabling company first, we run and Fluke-test every cable to standard before a single camera goes up. That's the difference between a system that works for years and one that's offline when the break-in happens.
Residential vs commercial
For homes, we focus on entry points, driveways, and blind spots, with discreet cabling and an app you'll actually open. For businesses, we handle multi-camera coverage, networked NVRs, access-control integration, and as-built documentation — the same standard we deliver for sites like Spark, Foodstuffs, and Auckland Council.
