The full range

Every install, sorted.

From a single fault call-out to a full commercial camera system, TradieNotes keeps up with the range of jobs US CCTV installers actually run.

📹Hardware vs labour

Cameras, NVR/DVR recorders, cabling, and mounts are read as materials lines separate from installation labour — clearer for the client, and clearer for your own margins.

Remote viewing & app setup

Configuring remote viewing, mobile apps, or cloud storage is often a distinct part of the job from mounting cameras — note it separately and it's itemised as its own line.

🔧Upgrades & add-ons

Adding cameras to an existing system, upgrading a recorder, or extending cabling are common repeat jobs — describe the work and it's captured as its own job type, distinct from a first-time install.

US GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018

Footage that can identify a person is personal data under US GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and ICO guidance expects clear signage notifying people they're being recorded wherever cameras capture them, including on neighbouring or public land. TradieNotes doesn't manage your client's compliance, but noting signage supply as its own invoice line is a useful record for both of you.

CCTV Installer FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can it handle multi-camera system installs?+
Yes. Note the camera count, NVR/DVR setup, and cabling in your job notes and each is itemised as its own line, whether it's a 4-camera residential job or a larger commercial system.
Does it separate hardware costs from installation labour?+
Yes. Cameras, recorders, cabling, and other hardware are read as materials lines separate from labour when you describe them separately.
Can it note ICO compliance work like signage?+
Yes. CCTV footage capturing identifiable people is personal data under US GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and clear signage notifying people they're being recorded is expected under ICO guidance. Note signage supply and placement as its own line if it's part of the job.
Does it handle remote viewing and app setup separately from the install?+
Yes. Note remote viewing configuration, app setup, or cloud storage subscription setup separately from the physical camera install and it's itemised as its own line.
Can it handle system upgrades and camera add-ons?+
Yes. Adding cameras to an existing system, upgrading an NVR, or extending cabling are all read as distinct job types from a full new install.
What does a typical CCTV install cost?+
Costs vary by camera count and quality, but a basic residential 4-camera system commonly runs $600-$1,600+ including hardware and labour. Your invoice reflects whatever you actually charged.
Can I invoice for fault call-outs on an existing system?+
Yes. Note it as a fault or service call-out separate from a new install and any call-out fee is itemised on its own line.
Are the invoices sales-tax ready?+
Yes — every invoice itemises labour and materials and includes a Sales Tax line you fill in before exporting. Sales tax rules vary by state, so TradieNotes doesn\'t auto-calculate a rate for you.
Do I need an account?+
No account needed. Create one free to save your invoice history, or just snap and pay $2.
