In Mosman, security has to do two things at once: work perfectly and stay out of sight. Nobody wants a bulky camera ruining a Federation facade, an alarm keypad clashing with a new kitchen, or a cable run across a harbour view. Your protection still has to stand up to salt air, spring storms and the steady flow of visitors heading to Balmoral and Taronga Zoo.
CGF gets that balance right. We’re licensed electricians who specialise in discreet security systems for Mosman’s homes, boutiques, practices and strata buildings. We also handle the premium electrical work behind them, so one team covers everything from the gate intercom to the switchboard.
Our CCTV installations use compact, colour-matched cameras placed to cover driveways, entries, side paths and garages without dominating the house. Cables run through ceilings and wall cavities, not across your facade. You get clear day and night footage, number plates at the gate, and live viewing on your phone wherever you are.
Close to the harbour, salt air ruins cheap cameras within a year or two. We use weatherproof, corrosion-resistant housings and mounts, seal every cable entry, and test everything before we leave.
Our alarm systems tell an intruder apart from your housekeeper arriving early or the dog wandering the hallway, so you’re not woken at 3am for nothing. Get mobile alerts, add back-to-base monitoring for when you’re travelling, and give cleaners, gardeners and pool technicians codes that only work on their days.
See and speak to whoever is at the gate, open it from your phone, and let trusted trades in while you’re at work or overseas. We install video intercoms that blend with your architecture and connect to electric gates, and that stay reliable through the wild spring storms.
Running a business on Military Road or around Spit Junction means serving a community that expects quality, and your security should reflect that.
Boutiques and retail: Designer stock calls for HD cameras over entries, displays and registers that identify faces clearly. We position them to cover blind spots properly rather than simply mounting them and hoping.
Salons and clinics: Discreet cameras protect high-value equipment without making clients feel watched. After-hours alarms and access control track staff entry and protect treatment rooms and records.
Offices and professional practices: Start with the basics and add to the system as you grow, using compatible equipment throughout. Access control lets staff, contractors and deliveries in without handing out keys.
Childcare centres: Cameras over play areas, secure entries with visitor screening, and emergency alert buttons, all designed to support licensing.
Warehouses and storage: Wide-angle cameras, perimeter monitoring and integrated alarms cover large areas around the clock without blowing the budget.
Strata buildings: Older Mosman apartment blocks often have patchy cameras and temperamental intercoms. We upgrade them with video entry, phone access, parcel management and common-area CCTV, and work through approvals with your strata manager.
Many Mosman Federation and inter-war homes still hide old wiring and ceramic fuses behind beautiful interiors. Our residential electricians upgrade switchboards with RCD safety switches and surge protection, rewire through existing cavities to protect ornate ceilings, cornices and joinery, and plan renovation electrical with your architect or builder from day one.
We wire smart lighting, automated blinds, integrated security and whole-home control so everything runs from one app. We also design garden, pool and facade lighting that shows off the property at night and adds a layer of security.
Spring storms sweep across the harbour and send voltage spikes down the lines. In a home full of smart devices, AV gear and integrated appliances, whole-home surge protection at the switchboard is cheap insurance against a very expensive afternoon.
Two EVs in the garage? We install dedicated chargers with load management so both cars charge overnight without overloading your supply. Pair them with solar and a home battery to run the house on stored energy through the evening peak and keep essentials on during outages.
We install hardwired, interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms to AS 3786 that meet NSW requirements on every level, and supply compliance certificates for sales and leases.
Our commercial electricians handle boutique and café fit-outs, lighting upgrades, data cabling and compliance testing around your trading hours. If power fails or something sparks, call us any time and we’ll make it safe first.
We cover Mosman, Balmoral, Beauty Point, Clifton Gardens, Spit Junction, Cremorne, Cremorne Point, Neutral Bay, Cammeray, Seaforth and the rest of our Sydney service areas.

Yes. Compact dome and turret cameras can be colour-matched to your eaves or walls, tucked under soffits and wired through ceiling cavities so no cables show. Most guests won’t notice them, but anyone approaching your door will be recorded clearly.
Cheap cameras corrode and fog within a year or two near the water. We use weatherproof, corrosion-resistant housings and mounts and seal every cable entry, so the system keeps performing for years.
Yes. Leafy streets often have patchy lighting, which leaves standard cameras recording mostly shadow. Infrared and enhanced low-light cameras capture clear footage in near-total darkness, and pairing them with motion-activated lighting gives you colour footage too.
Often, yes. Many existing cameras, alarm panels and intercoms work with newer equipment. We assess what you have, keep what’s still reliable and only replace what can’t integrate or has reached the end of its life.
You get an instant phone alert showing which zone triggered, and you can check your cameras to see what’s happening. With back-to-base monitoring, operators also respond around the clock and send a patrol or call police if needed.
Yes. We use discreet equipment, run cables through existing cavities and avoid drilling into original features. For heritage-listed properties, check with Mosman Council before making visible external changes, and we’ll help you scope a low-impact design.
Secure entry with visitor screening, cameras over play areas and entries (never bathrooms or nap rooms), emergency alert buttons and access logs. We design to support licensing and provide documentation for approvals.
Yes. We can integrate cameras, alarms, intercoms, lighting and automation into one smart home setup. If you’re renovating, pre-wiring at the planning stage makes it far cleaner and cheaper.
Often, yes. Load management shares your available capacity between chargers and your home’s usage, so both cars charge overnight without tripping. If your switchboard or supply is too small, we’ll tell you exactly what upgrade you need.
Yes. All fixed electrical work in NSW, including pool, garden and landscape lighting, must be done by a licensed electrician. Pool areas also have strict safety rules around wet zones, so it’s not a DIY job.
Some insurers offer discounts for monitored alarms and professionally installed CCTV, and some require them for high-value homes and contents. Check with your insurer, and we’ll provide installation documentation if they ask for it.
