What's the best quoting app for security installers in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes is an AI quoting app for New Zealand and Australian security installers that turns a job description into an itemised, GST-ready quote in under 30 seconds; plans start at $29 AUD a month, billed in AUD even in New Zealand.

How much does Insta Quotes cost for a security installer in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so security installers in New Zealand can quote before paying.
What should a New Zealand security system quote include?
Hardware, cabling, configuration, commissioning and any monitoring agreement each go on their own line, with 15% GST alongside your NZBN and IRD GST number. Name the camera resolution and the recorder’s retention in days, because retention is what clients actually need and what a cheaper quote silently reduces. Separate the one-off install price from the ongoing monitoring fee so the client can see both. State what the system does not do — no system prevents anything, and a quote that implies otherwise creates an expectation you will be held to — and include handover training, since a system nobody can operate is one that gets switched off.
Do I need a licence to install security systems in New Zealand?
Yes. Installing security systems for other people is regulated private security work here: the business holds a licence and individual staff hold a certificate of approval, issued under the private security legislation and administered by the licensing authority. That is a genuine difference from a general electrical or handyman install, and it is worth putting your licence details on the quote — partly because a client comparing you against an unlicensed operator cannot otherwise see the difference, and partly because it is the kind of thing an insurer asks about after a burglary.
Does the AI know New Zealand security system pricing?
Yes. Quotes are priced in NZD against current New Zealand rates — IP cameras and recorders by channel count and storage, structured cabling, alarm panels, sensors and monitoring setup, access control, and commissioning — with 15% GST applied rather than Australia’s 10%. Monitoring is priced as a recurring line separate from the install so the two are not blended into a single figure the client cannot compare.
What are the privacy rules for CCTV in New Zealand?
Cameras collect personal information, so the Privacy Act applies, and a camera that sees the neighbour’s yard, a footpath or a shared driveway is collecting information about people who never agreed to it. In practice: cameras should be aimed at what the client actually needs to protect, areas beyond that should be masked in the software, signage should tell people recording is happening, footage should be kept only as long as it is needed and kept securely, and someone should be able to ask for footage of themselves. Build that into the install and price it — aiming, masking, signage and a retention setting are a line on the quote. The client carries the liability, so a technician who sets it up correctly and says why is selling something a cheaper quote is not.
