Enhancing Neighbourhood Safety with Smart Surveillance Technology

In today’s interconnected world, home and street safety is more important than ever. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), more than half of motor vehicle thefts and nearly three-quarters of thefts from vehicles occur at residential properties—impacting approximately 185,000 homes in the past year alone¹.

With property-related crimes on the rise, Uniden is addressing these concerns with smart, accessible surveillance technology that transforms traditional home security into a collaborative neighbourhood safety solution.

Empowering Communities with Extra Eyes

Whether it's a break-in, car theft, or property damage, the presence of smart surveillance cameras around homes can act as both a deterrent and an evidence-gathering tool. Monitoring key access points—such as driveways, front doors, and backyards—not only protects the property but contributes to the safety of the entire street.

Uniden’s wire-free security camera range provides 24/7 coverage with features like built-in spotlights, motion detection, and real-time viewing via the Uniden app. These systems seamlessly integrate with smart home platforms, enabling users to stay connected and in control whether they’re at home, at work, or on holiday.

Expanding Security to Vehicles

In addition to home protection, Uniden’s DashView 60R dash cam offers a new level of vehicle security. Equipped with:

• 4K front camera + 2K rear camera

• Wide-angle lens coverage

• Parking Mode for 24/7 monitoring

This smart dash cam continues to record incidents even when the vehicle is stationary, making it a vital tool for identifying damage, hit-and-runs, or theft. When paired with home surveillance footage, it can provide a comprehensive visual timeline of events—benefiting both vehicle owners and the wider community.

Key Benefits of Uniden’s Smart Surveillance Technology:

• Deterrence: Visible cameras and dash cams reduce the risk of criminal activity

• Evidence Collection: High-quality footage supports police investigations and insurance claims

• Community Engagement: Shared surveillance strengthens neighbourhood watch efforts and community trust

“Making more properties less vulnerable to crime contributes to safer streets,” says Brad Hales, National Marketing & Communications Manager at Uniden.
“Equipping individuals and communities with home and car security technology helps create safer surroundings for everyone—enabling neighbours to share vision when it counts.”
