What moves the price
High open ceilings take longer to cable
Brick needs drilling and sealed entries
Open soffits make cable runs quicker
Colour night cameras cost more than basic ones
The five things that change your quote
- Number and type of cameras. Turrets and domes cost less than PTZ or colour night models.
- Cable path. An open attic or drop ceiling is quick; finished basements, brick, concrete and high ceilings take longer.
- Recording. More cameras and more days kept need bigger hard drives.
- Existing cable. Good coax or Cat6 can be reused, which is how a CCTV upgrade often costs less than a new system.
- Extras. A monitor, battery backup, locking cabinet, a second hard drive or after-hours work.
Ways to keep the cost down
Put cameras where things actually happen, not on every corner. Start with the doors and driveway, and choose a recorder with spare channels so more cameras can be added later. Wired systems cost more on day one than battery cameras but have no monthly fee; see IP camera system installationfor why. Renovating? Book the cable work before the drywall goes up; running wire through open studs is far quicker than fishing it through finished walls.
