From the residential streets on either side of Glenfield Road to the Glenfield Mall precinct and the light-industrial yards along Wairau Road, Comsys installs CCTV, intruder alarms, access control, and intercoms for Glenfield properties.
Glenfield is one of the largest residential suburbs on the North Shore, anchored by the Glenfield Mall and the bus interchange around Bentley Avenue and Glenfield Road. The housing stock is predominantly 1960s–80s family homes on streets like Salisbury, Coronation, and Sunnybrae, with newer townhouse infill along Glenfield Road and Chartwell Avenue. To the south, the Wairau Road and Wairau Valley industrial area runs into Glenfield’s borders — light industrial and trade retail sites that have a different security profile to the residential streets above. Glenfield has a higher proportion of vehicle break-ins and tool theft than the East Coast Bays, particularly around Wairau Road yards.
Comsys is based at 4/26 Bancroft Crescent in Glendene — about 15–20 minutes from most of Glenfield outside peak via SH18 and Glenfield Road. We carry stock for the brands NZ professional integrators rely on (Hikvision, Dahua, Paxton, Inner Range, Paradox, Aiphone) so a Glenfield site visit can usually be booked within a week, and most residential and small-commercial jobs are completed in a day.
For most Glenfield homes — typical 3-bedroom on a 500–700 m² section — a 4-camera IP CCTV system covers the property well. Front (driveway and door), back (deck and yard), one side, and an internal entry turret. Glenfield’s hilly streets often mean cameras need careful angling: a 90° horizontal field at the wrong height misses the driveway entirely. We frame each camera on-site rather than off the plan. Wireless alarm panels (Ajax, Paradox MG) suit older Glenfield homes where running new cable would damage textured ceilings.
For the larger family homes off Sunnybrae, Coronation, and Bayview Roads, six cameras is often the right call — you get separate driveway and gate coverage, both side passages, back deck, and an internal entry turret. Glenfield has its share of detached double garages and standalone sleepouts; tools and e-bikes in those buildings are a higher-than-average theft target on the Shore, so we usually add a turret inside the garage with the recording on the main NVR rather than a separate device.
For Wairau Road and Wairau Valley light-industrial sites — trade supply, automotive, panelbeating, joinery, signage — the standard scope is perimeter ColorVu cameras on the yard, ANPR at the main gate or driveway, dock-level cameras for after-hours deliveries, an alarm panel with PIRs in the office and dual-tech sensors in the warehouse, and access control on the warehouse roller door (Paxton Net2 or HID Signo) rather than just the pedestrian door. We include written commissioning records that satisfy most NZ insurer expectations under AS/NZS 2201.
For Glenfield Mall’s strip-retail neighbours and the smaller commercial buildings along Glenfield Road, the typical scope is identification at the entry, till-level coverage with a timestamp overlay, rear loading-door coverage, and an alarm with glassbreak detection on the shopfront. Multi-tenant offices use Paxton Net2 on shared entries with role-based access and an audit log so a leaver’s credential can be revoked instantly.
Free on-site assessment. We walk the property, note risks, and discuss what the system needs to do.
Itemised quote with brand, model, camera count, cabling notes, and labour. No "from $X" placeholders.
Most residential jobs are a single day. Cabling is run discreetly through ceiling cavities and exterior conduit.

A four-camera 4MP IP system with NVR for a typical Glenfield home is $2,200–$3,800 supplied and installed in a single day. Six-camera systems on larger Sunnybrae or Bayview properties run $3,000–$4,500. Wairau Road light-industrial sites are quoted by site visit because cabling, ANPR, and gate-access integrations vary widely. We give written, itemised quotes — not "from $X" placeholders.
A typical Wairau Road / Wairau Valley workshop or trade-supply install includes 6–10 cameras (perimeter ColorVu on the yard, dock-level for after-hours deliveries, internal aisle / floor coverage), ANPR at the gate, an alarm panel with dual-tech sensors in the workshop and PIRs in the office, and access control on the roller door. For sites with high tool value or after-hours yard storage we typically add long-throw bullet cameras at the corners and external sirens out of climbing reach. We supply a written commissioning record for your insurer.
For Glenfield homes, we recommend a turret inside the garage that records to the main NVR (so footage isn’t on a separate, easy-to-grab device), an external camera covering the driveway and street approach, and an alarm zone on the garage door so the panel can be armed for the garage independently of the house. For Wairau Road yards, ANPR at the entry, perimeter ColorVu on the fence line, and gate-mounted access control with audit logs covers the typical risk vectors.
Yes. We frequently replace older analog DVR systems on Wairau Road sites with modern IP NVR systems. In some cases we can re-use the existing coax cabling with HD-over-coax cameras as a budget upgrade; in most cases new Cat6 cabling and IP cameras give a better long-term result. We’ll quote both options where they’re both viable so you can make an informed call.

This calculator is a guide only. Final pricing depends on the site visit — specific camera models, mounting access, cable routing, and any access control or alarm integration can move the number up or down. We always quote in writing after a free on-site assessment, with brand and model itemised so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
