Poles and Holes hires construction site security cameras across Queensland, from a single camera on a residential slab to a multi-camera setup on a commercial site. Rental and lease both mean the same thing here: a weekly rate per camera with the mount, power, connectivity, install and removal included. We deliver from our Capalaba depot to Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Redlands, Moreton Bay and the Gold Coast.
Construction sites get hit in the quiet hours, and a construction site security camera keeps watch overnight without a roster, which is why most Queensland builders hire one rather than buy.
Construction site security camera hire from Poles and Holes includes the camera, the mounting hardware, the power source, the connectivity, delivery, installation by our crew and removal at the end. You do not buy hardware, book a separate installer or arrange a data plan. The camera goes up when work starts and comes down when the build finishes.
The full range and what each option suits is on the security camera hire hub.
The best option for leasing construction security cameras in Queensland depends on one thing: what power and internet the site has. No power and no internet takes a self-contained solar camera on 4G. A live temporary power pole takes a mains-powered 4G camera. An established site office with reliable Wi-Fi can take a Wi-Fi camera.
In practice most Queensland builds start on the first option and move to the second. A camera on a security camera on a power pole is about $69 a week excluding GST, and a standalone security camera pole for a site with no pole is about $100 a week. Both run on a 12 week minimum hire.
A Queensland construction site needs perimeter fencing, controlled access, lighting and monitoring of the areas where tools, copper and plant are stored. Security cameras cover the monitoring part, and on most residential and small commercial builds they replace a guard entirely, because the theft window is overnight and a camera works every night without a roster.
Fencing and access control come first, because a camera records a theft it cannot prevent. Lighting matters more than people expect: a lit site is a less attractive target and it gives the camera usable footage. Our construction site security camera hire guide covers how the pieces fit together.
Poles and Holes delivers construction site cameras across South East Queensland from our Capalaba depot. Brisbane, Logan, Redlands, Ipswich and Moreton Bay sit inside the standard 40km delivery zone at the flat delivery rate. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba jobs are covered as extended-zone work, with travel charged at $10 per kilometre beyond 40km.
That covers the growth corridors where the builds actually are: Ripley, Springfield, Yarrabilba, Caboolture, Redland Bay and Coomera. Delivery inside the standard zone is $390 excluding GST. We run to the Gold Coast regularly, so coastal jobs are scheduled against those runs rather than treated as one-offs.
Construction site camera hire is quoted per camera per week, and four things move it: camera count, hire duration, whether the camera runs on mains power or a self-contained solar unit, and whether the site sits inside our 40km standard delivery zone. Full-build hires price better per week than short jobs, and multi-camera sites price better per camera.
Where a pole is hired alongside the camera, a site pole is $600 for its 12 week minimum hire and 3-phase is $840, both excluding GST. Mounting the camera on a pole you are already hiring is the cheaper arrangement, because the camera runs on mains rather than needing its own panel and battery. If you need a pole anyway, book temporary power pole hire and the camera together.
CCTV installers normally charge a separate call-out and installation fee on top of hardware. On a hire, there is no separate installer charge: our crew delivers, mounts and commissions the camera as part of the hire, and comes back to remove it at the end. The install and removal trips are quoted with the hire, not billed afterwards.
That is the single most common reason a hire quote and a purchase quote are not comparable. If you are weighing up hardware to buy, our rundown of the best security cameras for construction sites walks through what to check.

This is the price for the minimum hire period. Extensions beyond 84 days are billed monthly in arrears.
Our team can recommend the right camera setup based on your site size, duration, and security requirements.
Our two camera setups are designed to work together. The pole-mounted camera is a low-cost way to watch the compound and entry once your power's on; the standalone solar pole gives you day-one coverage and a fixed gate camera plus a roaming PTZ for everywhere else.
The result: continuous coverage from day one through handover — a fixed camera locked on your gate, PTZ cameras patrolling, and no blind spots.

Construction site security cameras work by detecting motion, recording to local and cloud storage, and pushing an alert to your phone over either a 4G SIM, a solar powered 4G unit or site Wi-Fi. Most South East Queensland sites use 4G, because it needs no existing internet and works from day one.
