System quoting & layouts
Cameras on the site plan with coverage cones, cable runs and notes, turned straight into a priced quote.
CCTV installer software: quoting, jobs & service plans
CCTV installers: quotes with the right gear, every time. Layouts, quotes and service plans in one.
Camera layouts get sketched on paper, equipment lists get copied from old jobs and the annual service you promised at handover never gets booked. We build systems for security installers that quote properly, get techs to the right site with the right gear and keep the recurring work coming. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for CCTV installer software that quotes the system and keeps the service work coming?
A security install lives or dies on the quote. Get the camera count, coverage, mounts, cable runs and recorder right and the job's a winner. Miss a junction box or undersize the NVR and you're eating the difference. Then the real money is in what comes after: service plans, monitoring, app fees and the callout when a camera drops offline at 2am. Most installers juggle that with a job app, a spreadsheet, a pile of PDFs and a phone full of passwords.
Wollopit builds custom software for CCTV, alarm and access control installers around how your business actually runs. Drop cameras on a site plan and the gear list builds itself. Quotes go out with options and come back accepted. Techs get the job, the logins and the test sheet on their phone. Service visits book themselves and monitoring bills itself. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from CCTV installers
Does your CCTV installation business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most security installers we talk to are brilliant on the tools and on the ladder. The paperwork is where the margin leaks out, one forgotten bracket and one unbilled callout at a time.
- The problemLayouts on the back of a quoteCamera positions get sketched on a printed site plan, photographed and lost somewhere in a camera roll.How we fix itDrop cameras onto the site plan or a satellite view with field of view cones, then save the layout against the job for the install crew.
- The problemEquipment lists copied from old jobsEvery quote starts by finding a similar job and editing it, so a wrong bracket or missing junction box sneaks through.How we fix itEquipment packages by system size. Add a camera and the right mount, cable, connectors and switch ports come with it.
- The problemRecorder sized by gut feelNobody's sure the NVR has enough channels or drive space for 30 days at 4K. You find out when the footage they need is already gone.How we fix itA storage and channel calculator inside the quote. Cameras, resolution and retention days go in. The right recorder and drives come out.
- The problemQuotes that just sit thereThe PDF goes out, nobody follows up and the customer signs with whoever rang back first.How we fix itOnline quotes with good, better and best options, accept and pay the deposit in one go plus automatic follow-ups.
- The problemService visits forgottenAnnual health checks get promised at handover and never booked. The customer only rings when something's broken.How we fix itService plans that book themselves, with checklists for lens cleaning, firmware updates, drive health and recording checks.
- The problemMonitoring contracts in a spreadsheetMonthly monitoring and app fees tracked by hand. Half aren't invoiced and renewals slip past.How we fix itRecurring contracts with direct debit billing, renewal reminders and price changes applied on schedule.
- The problemCallouts unbilledThe after-hours 'camera's offline' call gets fixed on the phone or on site and never charged.How we fix itLog the callout on your phone with after-hours rates and it's an invoice before you're back in the ute.
- The problemPasswords and logins everywhereRecorder admin passwords live on sticky notes, in old texts and in one tech's head. The customer resets it and you're locked out.How we fix itEncrypted site records per client: device logins, IP addresses, serials and app accounts with every view logged.
- The problemSites go offline and nobody knowsA recorder drops off the network for weeks. You find out when the customer needs footage from a break-in.How we fix itDevice health checks with offline and drive failure alerts, so you ring the customer before they ring you.
- The problemWarranty claims go missingA dead camera goes back to the supplier and nobody knows if the replacement came back or which site it belongs to.How we fix itRMA tracking by serial number, linked to the site, with warranty end dates on every device you've installed.
- The problemHandover is one rushed phoneThe app gets set up on one person's phone, there's no manual and they call you every time they need to export footage.How we fix itA branded handover pack: camera map, app setup for the whole household or team, how to export footage and their service plan.
- The problemLicences nobody's watchingTech security licences and white cards expire and nobody notices until a commercial client asks for them.How we fix itA licence and ticket register for every tech with expiry alerts well before anything lapses.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole security business, on one system.
These are the systems security installers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
System design & quoting
Drop the cameras. The quote builds itself.
Walk the site with an iPad, drop cameras onto the plan and see what each one covers. Every camera pulls in its mount, cable and switch port. The recorder and drives get sized from your retention days, so the quote is right before it leaves the site.

- Field of view cones and blind spots
- Cable runs and distances
- Equipment packages by system size
- Recorder and drive storage calculator
- Good, better and best options
- Supplier price lists kept current

- Health check checklists
- Service reports emailed to customers
- Monitoring and app fee contracts
- Direct debit or card billing
- Failed payment retries
- Renewal and price change reminders

- Quotes, invoices and payments

- Camera map and system details
- App setup guides per brand
- How to export footage

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your CCTV installation business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We ride along on an install, sit in on quoting and look at how service and monitoring get billed, then work out where the money's leaking.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your packages, pricing, job flow, site records, recurring billing, security, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually quoting or recurring billing first, so you get a win within weeks.
- 04
Look after
We host it, keep it secure and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things CCTV installers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it also handle alarm and access control jobs?
Yes. The same quoting, job and service tools work for alarms, intercoms and access control, so you run the whole business in one place.
How do you keep client passwords and device logins secure?
Logins are encrypted, only the staff you choose can see them and every view is logged. It sits on our own managed servers, not in a shared spreadsheet or a group chat.
Can it tell us when a customer's system goes offline?
Often yes. Where your recorders report through platforms like Hik-ProConnect we can pull that status in and alert you to offline recorders or failed drives before the customer notices.
We already use simPRO or ServiceM8. Do we have to switch?
No. If your job app is doing its job we build around it: layout quoting, service plans, monitoring billing or a client portal on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Can it bill monitoring contracts automatically?
Yes. Monthly or annual contracts can run on direct debit or card with failed payment retries, renewal reminders and invoices synced to Xero or MYOB.
How much does a system like this cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller pieces like a quoting tool or service plan scheduler can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most CCTV installers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
