Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial Security Systems

What are commercial security systems?

Commercial security systems are integrated setups of surveillance, access control, intrusion detection and monitoring technology designed to protect businesses, staff and assets. At Fortis Security, our commercial security systems are tailored to each site – from single offices to multi-location enterprises and critical infrastructure – and combine hardware, software and ongoing support into one cohesive solution.

How much do commercial security systems cost?

Costs vary depending on site size, the number of cameras and access points, and the level of integration required. We provide a free on-site assessment so you get an accurate quote for a commercial security system built around your actual risk profile, rather than a generic package.

How long does it take to install a commercial security system?

Most commercial installations take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on scope. Larger or multi-site projects involving full integrated security deployment may take longer. We’ll give you a clear installation timeline as part of your quote.

Integrated Security

What does “integrated security” mean?

Integrated security means combining separate systems – CCTV, access control, alarms, IoT sensors and network security – into a single unified platform. Instead of managing each system separately, your team gets one dashboard for monitoring, alerts and reporting. This is the core of what Fortis Security specialises in.

Can you integrate security with our existing systems?

Yes. Our team regularly integrates new components into existing infrastructure, including legacy CCTV, alarm panels and access control hardware, so you don’t need to replace everything to get the benefits of a unified, integrated security setup.

Commercial CCTV Installation

What’s involved in commercial CCTV installation?

Commercial CCTV installation includes a site survey, camera placement planning for optimal coverage, cabling and network setup, and configuration of recording and remote-viewing software. We install and configure everything so your cameras integrate cleanly with the rest of your security system.

Do you offer remote monitoring after CCTV installation?

Yes, our commercial CCTV installation packages can include remote viewing and monitoring options, so you can check live or recorded footage from anywhere, and integrate alerts into your broader security platform.

Access Control Installation

What types of access control installation do you offer?

We install a range of access control solutions, from keypad and swipe-card entry to biometric and mobile-credential systems. Every access control installation is designed to work seamlessly with your existing CCTV and alarm systems as part of a fully integrated security setup.

Can access control be managed across multiple sites?

Yes. For businesses with several locations, we design access control installations that can be centrally managed from one platform, giving you consistent control and reporting across every site.

Security System Integrators

Why use professional security system integrators instead of separate installers?

Security system integrators like Fortis Security design your CCTV, access control, alarms and network security to work together from the outset, rather than as disconnected add-ons. This reduces blind spots, simplifies management, and ensures every part of your security investment supports the others.

Are Fortis Security’s integrators licensed?

Yes, our team holds the relevant security licences required to design, install and maintain commercial security systems across the states we operate in. You can view our credentials on our Security Licences page.
