Victoria Police record every reported break-in by local government area. Eaglemont sits in the City of Banyule, alongside Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Rosanna, Greensborough and Watsonia. 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. Banyule 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. Banyule ranks 14th of 31 Greater Melbourne councils on all recorded crime, but 9th 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.
Eaglemont is built on a Walter Burley Griffin subdivision, and it shows: curving streets that follow the contours, generous irregular blocks, and homes set among mature gardens on a ridge above the Yarra. It is unlike any other suburb in Melbourne to plan a camera system for.
Nothing in Eaglemont meets at right angles. Blocks are irregular, frontages are angled and the street bends away from the house rather than running past it. A camera in the position that works on a grid street will cover a fraction of the approach here, and placement genuinely has to be worked out property by property.
The Griffin subdivision and a number of individual houses carry heritage significance, so visible hardware on principal elevations attracts more attention than usual. Discreet housings and cabling routed away from street-facing facades are the norm.
Properties on the eastern side drop steeply toward the Yarra flats, often with terraced gardens and a rear boundary onto parkland. Long cable runs, intermediate mounting positions and power at those positions all add to the job.
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 at the vehicle gate and pedestrian entry, where coverage has to start.
4–5 cameras covering the drive, entries and rear elevation.
6+ cameras across a large block, outbuildings and multiple entries.

“Booked in fast, the installer explained everything clearly, and the price matched what I was quoted upfront.”
“Went from filling out the form to having cameras installed within the week - easy from start to finish.”
“Security Simon made getting a home camera quote so easy, the installer was professional and easy to work with.”
Irregular blocks, angled frontages, steep ground and heritage-sensitive facades all mean more planning and longer cable runs for the same camera count. It's a genuinely more involved install than a standard grid-street suburb.
