Victoria Police record every reported break-in by local government area. Beaumaris sits in the City of Bayside, alongside Brighton, Sandringham, Hampton and Black Rock. Here is the most recent full year.
Source: Crime Statistics Agency Victoria, LGA Criminal Incidents, year ending 31 March 2026 (released June 2026). Covers residential aggravated and non-aggravated burglary. Updated quarterly - check the latest figures.
Residential burglary across Greater Melbourne fell 14.7% in the year to March 2026, from 21,991 incidents to 18,761, and 29 of the 31 councils fell with it. Bayside was one of them. If you read somewhere that break-ins are surging, that page is quoting an older release.
The more useful pattern is where burglary happens rather than whether it's rising. Bayside ranks 27th of 31 Greater Melbourne councils on all recorded crime, but 11th on residential burglary. The same flip shows up right across Melbourne's wealthier east and bayside. Burglary follows what's inside the house, not the reputation of the postcode.
Beaumaris has the largest concentration of mid-century modern housing in Melbourne, on big leafy blocks with a lot of glass and long low rooflines. Many are being replaced by substantial new homes. Both types present the same problem: enormous glazed areas and very quiet streets.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing and sliding doors along a rear elevation are the defining feature of a Beaumaris modernist house, and glazed sliding doors are among the most commonly targeted entry points. Rear coverage is not a nice-to-have on these homes - it's the main event.
A long single-storey home with shallow eaves gives an installer far fewer good mounting positions than a conventional two-storey house. Placement here takes more thought, and sometimes means a discreet pole or fascia mount rather than the obvious corner.
Beaumaris streets are wide, well treed and largely empty during the day. Combined with deep setbacks and mature gardens, there is minimal passive surveillance of anyone's front door, which is the practical case for a camera in an area that feels entirely safe.
Typical installed ranges for this part of Melbourne. Your exact figure depends on camera quality, cable runs and whether your roof cavity is accessible.
2 cameras on the entry and driveway, with corrosion-rated housings and brackets.
4 cameras covering front, rear and both sides. Marine-grade hardware throughout.
6+ cameras for larger blocks, beach-path boundaries or heavily glazed rear elevations.
