It is illegal to install security applications or monitoring devices in Australia without the relevant license.

The installation of security systems or applications by technicians or businesses who do not hold a current license may infringe privacy regulations, security policy or workplace laws.  Information, including images and footage, obtained from illegally installed systems may be rendered invalid by law enforcement agencies and government bodies. 

To guarantee the ethical and legal compliance of your installed security system your supplier must hold the relevant license in your state.
