TechAssist has supported hundreds of Australian SMEs across construction, manufacturing, logistics, law firms, mining, and professional services. Physical security and IT have converged. Cameras, doors, and intercoms are now IP devices on your network — and they need to be designed, secured, and supported the same way your IT is.
Most Australian SMEs still buy CCTV from a security company and IT from an MSP, then discover the cameras are on the corporate network with default passwords, exposed to the internet, and impossible to integrate with their access control system. We design and deliver IP-based CCTV, access control, and intercom systems as integrated infrastructure — secure, segmented, and supported under one accountable provider.
How Our Physical Security Work Runs
Three stages. One team. Network and physical security treated as one design.
01
Survey & Design
Site survey, camera coverage analysis, access control point design, network impact assessment, storage sizing. Drawings produced before any quote.
02
Install & Configure
IP cameras, NVR or cloud video storage, access control readers and controllers, intercoms. Network segmented onto dedicated VLAN. Hardened against unauthorised access.
03
Support & Monitor
Same Melbourne helpdesk supports your cameras and doors as supports your IT. Firmware patched. Footage retention verified. Anomalies surfaced.
What We Install
Eight physical security capabilities, scoped to your site.
Physical Security Is Now a Cyber Problem
An unsecured IP camera is now a documented entry point for attackers. Default passwords, unpatched firmware, and exposed admin interfaces have been the root cause of multiple Australian breaches. The cameras themselves did not get attacked — they were the foothold to attack everything else on the network.
We treat physical security as cybersecurity. Cameras and access controllers run on segmented VLANs, with hardened configuration, internet exposure eliminated, and firmware patched under the same schedule as your servers.
Integrated With Your IT
One vendor managing IT and physical security means cameras can integrate with mobile apps issued by us, access logs cross-reference your Microsoft 365 identity, and incidents can be investigated by the same team that runs your SOC monitoring.
