The best security camera system for most Australian homes is a wired PoE system with 4 to 6 cameras, colour night vision and an NVR that records locally, so there are no monthly fees. Businesses need the same thing laid out for their site: more cameras, longer range and room to grow. A complete CCTV system is matched cameras plus a recorder (NVR) that powers and records them over one network cable each. ARC IP Networks sells 15 Jovision security camera systems, from a 2 camera starter to a 16 camera commercial system, each priced below buying the parts separately, with colour night vision and no monthly fees.
Quick pick: most houses: the 4 camera 5MP system or 4 camera 4K system. Large homes: the 8 camera 4K system. Lowest cost: the budget 4 camera kit. Driveways: the driveway kit with a number plate camera. Farms: the farm system or solar 4G 2-pack. Business: the shop, office, warehouse or 16 camera commercial systems. Genuine Australian stock from the authorised Jovision distributor. Shop all 15 Jovision kits.
What makes a good security camera system?
Whichever brand you choose, a good CCTV system has matched parts, local recording and one cable per camera. A kit gives you all of that in one order:
Bundle saving
Every Jovision system is priced below the same cameras and NVR bought separately.
Matched to work together
4K kits come with an NVR that records 8MP, and every wired kit has enough PoE ports for its cameras.
No monthly fees
Footage records to a hard drive in the NVR (or microSD), and the CloudSEE app is free.
One cable per camera
PoE carries power and video, so there are no power points to install at the cameras.

Common questions
Straight answers from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed October 2026.
For most homes, a wired PoE system with 4 to 6 cameras, colour night vision and local recording. The Jovision 4 camera 5MP and 4 camera 4K systems suit a typical house; the 8 camera 4K system suits larger properties.
The cameras and a PoE NVR that powers and records them, plus the free CloudSEE app. Jovision kits from ARC IP Networks do not include a hard drive or network cables, so you can choose the drive size and cable lengths.
Yes. Every Jovision system at ARC IP Networks is priced below the same cameras and NVR bought separately.
Most houses need 4 to 6: front door, back door, driveway, side passage and backyard. Choose an NVR with spare channels so you can add more later.
No. Footage records to a hard drive in the NVR (or microSD on Wi-Fi and solar 4G cameras), and the CloudSEE app is free.
Yes, if you can run a network cable to each camera. Each camera plugs into the NVR with one cable. Many people have an electrician or data cabler run the cables and plug the system in themselves.
It depends on the site: the shop system for retail, the office system for offices and clinics, the warehouse system for warehouses and yards, the vandal-proof PTZ dome system for car parks and lobbies, and the 16 camera commercial system for larger sites.
Yes. The farm and acreage system uses two 4K 5x zoom bullets for distant gates and sheds plus two 6MP bullets. For spots with no power or internet, the solar 4G 2-pack needs no cabling at all.
Yes, if the NVR has spare channels. The 2 camera system has two spare, the 4K 4 camera, driveway and vandal-proof systems have four, and the 16 camera system’s 32-channel NVR has sixteen.
