Victoria Police record every reported break-in by local government area. Seddon sits in the City of Maribyrnong, alongside Footscray, Yarraville, Maidstone and West Footscray. 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. Maribyrnong 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. Maribyrnong ranks 4th of 31 Greater Melbourne councils on all recorded crime, but 6th 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.
Seddon is a small, tightly held pocket of weatherboard and brick Victorian cottages on narrow streets around the Charles Street village. Blocks are compact, parking is scarce and laneways run behind most of the older rows.
Very few Seddon properties have off-street parking, so most cars sit on the street overnight. Theft from motor vehicles is consistently one of the most recorded offences in Victoria, and a camera covering the kerb outside your frontage is often more valuable here than a fourth camera on the property itself.
Timber is easier to fix to than solid brick, but older Seddon cottages typically have shallow roof spaces, minimal eaves and no clean internal cable route. It's a different problem from the brick terraces across the river rather than a simpler one.
As across the inner west, the right-of-way is the real access route to the back of most properties, and the rear gate is where a camera does the most work.
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 front entry and driveway. Solid-brick walls add labour.
4 cameras including rear laneway access. Most period homes land here.
6+ cameras for large blocks, long frontages or heritage-sensitive placement.

“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.”
Yes, as an incidental part of covering your own frontage. Frame it on your property and the kerb immediately outside rather than surveilling the road, and note that audio is regulated more tightly than video in Victoria.
