What Newtown homes and businesses usually need.
Newtown is mostly Victorian terraces, many with a rear lane, either side of King Street. King Street itself is the main boundary between the Inner West Council and City of Sydney sides of the suburb.
Busy footpaths and narrow fronts mean the front of a Newtown terrace is right on the street, so parcels and bikes are the usual worry rather than break-ins. A doorbell plus one camera covering the front step does most of the work; a battery camera over the rear lane gate covers the back. For King Street and Enmore Road shops, we fit cameras inside looking out over the counter and the door, which avoids the facade entirely.
Typical jobs in Newtown
- Doorbell and front-step camera for a terrace
- Battery camera over a rear-lane gate
- Shopfront and counter cameras on King Street
Heritage streets
Much of the Inner West 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.
What actually goes missing
In the Inner West council area, theft from homes runs above the NSW average while break-ins sit below it (12 months to June 2026). Parcels and bikes going missing from the front of the house are the common problem, so most jobs here start with the front door.

Learn moreDo you install security cameras in Newtown?
Yes. Newtown is about 1 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.
Do you install cameras for businesses in Newtown?
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.
