Fortify Security and Electrical - Cameras, Alarms and Electrical
Daniel plans the system, Donny and Damien install it — customers consistently get the app set up on their phone before the team leaves.
Daniel is specifically called out for quoting honestly — one customer who got three competing quotes noted Fortify offered the best value without pushing unnecessary extras. The business is GST-registered and structured as a company, which matters for anyone doing a commercial job or needing compliant electrical certification. One useful thing to confirm directly: response times and availability for your specific suburb, since the team appears to cover a broad area from the Newcastle region and scheduling can vary.

About Fortify Security and Electrical - Cameras, Alarms and Electrical
Fortify specialises in integrated security and electrical work — CCTV systems, alarm installations, access control, sensor lighting, switchboard upgrades, and data cabling — making them one of the few local operators who can handle both the security design and the licensed electrical work in a single visit. Daniel leads the quoting and system design side, known for assessing camera placement, matching equipment to what the customer actually needs rather than upselling, and turning quotes around quickly; Eden also handles detailed on-site assessments. On the tools, Donny and Damien are the most frequently mentioned installation pair, praised for speed, tidy cable runs, and walking customers through apps before they leave — while Matt, Riley, Lachie, and Caleb appear across a wide range of residential and commercial jobs, including a major commercial rewire. The team works across both residential homes and business premises, from small camera top-ups to full security system overhauls, Starlink integration, and shed power fit-outs. A consistent pattern across the 50 reviews sampled is that technicians explain how to use the app on the customer's phone before leaving, minimise damage when running cables, and clean up on completion — which makes them a practical fit for homeowners who want the install done and handed over without a steep learning curve. Based around Bennetts Green, they're drawing customers from across the Newcastle region including Toronto, Charlestown, and surrounding suburbs.
Best for: homeowners wanting CCTV and electrical work handled by one team, customers who want a thorough app walkthrough and clean installation, and business owners needing commercial security or electrical fit-outs in the Newcastle region.

What areas does Fortify Security and Electrical cover?+
The business is based in Bennetts Green but reviews reference jobs across the broader Newcastle region, including Toronto, Charlestown, and surrounding suburbs. They appear to cover residential and commercial properties across a wide service area. If you're outside the immediate Newcastle area, it's worth calling ahead to confirm availability and any travel considerations before booking a quote.
Do they handle both the security and electrical work, or do I need separate trades?+
Fortify is set up to cover both in a single engagement — their Google listing categorises them as an electrician, and reviews reference jobs combining CCTV, alarm systems, data cabling, switchboard upgrades, and lighting all done by the same team. One customer specifically noted their technician's skills were 'particularly evident when dealing with the technical challenges that can sometimes arise with IT and network integration.' For most home security jobs, you won't need a separate electrician.
What do customers say about Fortify's pricing?+
Pricing comes up positively across multiple reviews — one customer got three competing quotes and chose Fortify for best value, and several others describe the pricing as 'very competitive' or 'very reasonable for the quality of service provided.' Customers also note the quoting process is detailed and honest, with technicians not pushing upgrades or products that aren't needed. For large or complex jobs, requesting a written itemised quote is always sensible.
How does the handover work after installation — will I know how to use the system?+
App setup and walkthrough is one of the most consistently mentioned parts of the service across the 50 reviews we analysed. Technicians typically download the relevant app (commonly HikVision) onto your phone, walk you through alerts, camera views, and basic operation before they leave. One customer described receiving a 'thorough coaching session' and felt confident using the app despite initially being uncertain. If you have specific technical concerns, it's worth raising them at the time of install so they can tailor the handover.
Can Fortify do commercial security and electrical jobs, not just homes?+
Yes — reviews reference business premises camera installs, a major commercial property rewiring project, and shop alarm and camera systems. Head Electrician Riley is specifically mentioned for leading a large-scale commercial rewire 'with precision, efficiency, and minimal disruption to operations.' If you have a commercial job, it's worth describing the scale upfront so they can allocate the right team size and schedule accordingly.
