Security cameras let you see who is at the door, around the property or on your business premises, live or later on a recording. We install wired and wifi cameras, doorbell cameras and recorder systems for Wigram homes and businesses, and set up viewing on your phone before we leave. You get a written, fixed price before work starts.
Wigram Cameras for New Homes on the Old Aerodrome
Wigram has grown fast on the former aerodrome, where Ngāi Tahu Property developed Wigram Skies after the airfield closed, with The Runway following the old strip. These are modern homes with recent switchboards, insulated roof spaces and often a data cupboard already in the garage or hallway. Fitting cameras is usually a matter of pulling cable through the roof space to each eave and patching it into a recorder beside the router.
New subdivisions bring close neighbours and shared sightlines. Houses can face each other across narrow streets and sit near the boundary, so a wide-angle camera on the front may look straight into the house opposite. We use narrower lenses or privacy masks to keep the view on your own drive and entry, and agree camera positions with you before drilling a new home. Where the cladding must be pierced, the entry is sleeved and sealed so the wall stays weathertight.
Wigram also holds Christchurch's record low, minus 9.4 degrees, set in July 1945, and flat ground here collects frost on calm nights. Cameras need to suit that range, with sensors that keep detail through long winter evenings. Smaller subdivisions such as Broken Run near the Heathcote River headwaters have similar homes, so the same approach suits them. Sensor lighting planned alongside the cameras gives them a brighter scene to work with on those long nights.
Local tip: In Wigram Skies, a camera above the garage door, aimed down your drive, usually covers both the car and anyone walking to the front door.
Security Cameras in Wigram: Local Conditions
West Christchurch covers family homes in Burnside, Avonhead and Ilam, character houses in Fendalton, and commercial and industrial sites around Hornby. Larger sites usually suit a wired system with a central recorder.
New townhouses often share walls and driveways, so cameras are aimed at your own entry and any body corporate rules are checked before mounting.
Homes in Wigram
Wigram Skies and smaller subdivisions such as Broken Run, which created 126 residential lots in 2005, have modern switchboards with RCD protection and plastic-sheathed wiring. The main check before adding an EV charger, spa or heat pump is spare space and capacity on the board.
Street names in Wigram Skies such as Corsair Drive, Kittyhawk Avenue and Skyhawk Road reflect the area's aviation history.

Security Cameras Wigram FAQs
Will drilling for a camera affect my new Wigram home's cladding?
We avoid it where we can by entering through the soffit or the garage. If the cladding has to be pierced, the hole is sleeved and sealed so the wall keeps out the weather.
Should I choose wired or wifi cameras?
Wired cameras are steadier and can be powered through the network cable, which suits most homes and businesses. Wifi cameras are quicker to fit where cabling is hard, as long as the signal is strong.
How many cameras does a Wigram property need?
It depends on the number of entry points and the layout. We plan coverage of doors, driveways and gates first, then add cameras only where they fill a real gap.
