Unsure how much getting CCTV professionally installed will set you back? Read our guide to find out how much you can expect to pay for CCTV installation in your home or commercial property depending on the number of cameras, type of CCTV system, and more.
CCTV isn’t just for the rich and famous. We all have a right to feel safe and secure in our homes. While CCTV is a highly effective crime deterrent, it also has lots of other benefits:
Evidence - In the unfortunate event that a crime does occur on your property, everything will be recorded on your CCTV surveillance, making law enforcement a much easier process.
Insurance premiums - While money might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you are considering getting CCTV, it's worth knowing that it can lower your insurance premiums.
Stay connected - If you aren’t at home but you want to keep an eye on your loved ones, you can monitor them remotely through an app on your smart device - think of it as having eyes in the back of your head!
While some CCTV devices are pretty straightforward to install, others can be more complicated, so it’s advisable to get a professional to install your CCTV to be sure that everything is in working order.
A professional will safely install a CCTV device in your home. They will also be able to advise on how to best position cameras, as well as the best CCTV device for your needs and budget.
There is no point in forking out on costly CCTV systems if they aren’t installed correctly, so hiring a professional to do it for you is well worth the investment.
CCTV systems come in all shapes and sizes, so it's difficult to say exactly how much it will cost you to install one for your property - it all depends on the type of property and your specific requirements. You can buy a CCTV camera on its own, but most people invest in an entire security package. Most average-sized homes require about 4 CCTV cameras:
A ballpark figure for the cost of a 4 camera CCTV system is detailed below:
| Average total cost | $1,299 |
| Maximum total cost | $1,999 |
| Minimum total cost | $600 |
Not all CCTV cameras were created equal! The price can be impacted by some key factors, including:
Number of cameras
Type of CCTV system
Type of building
One of the biggest price-determining factors is how many cameras you require.
An average house will have around 4 cameras.
A large house could need around 8 cameras.
| Number of cameras | Maximum installation cost | Minimum installation cost | Average installation cost |
| 4 camera system | $1,999 | $600 | $1,299 |
| 8 camera system | $3,000 | $800 | $1,900 |
A block of flats will have up to 12 cameras, whereas a commercial property could have up to 64 cameras, so the total price of a CCTV system could vary dramatically.
CCTV cameras come in all shapes and sizes, and the cost will vary depending on the type you go for:
Wireless vs. non-wireless - Wireless devices tend to be cheaper than non-wireless devices as the installation process is easier.
Outdoor vs. indoor - Outdoor cameras tend to be more expensive to install than an indoor camera because labour is more difficult.
The cost of CCTV installation can vary depending on the building. If you have a listed building, the cost of CCTV could be higher as it is more tricky to install with restrictions in place. You may also need planning permission for certain buildings, which your professional will be able to advise you on.
CCTV installation in commercial properties also tends to be more expensive than residential properties, because commercial buildings are more difficult to install CCTV in and higher quality is often required to protect the building’s assets. If you’re wondering how much CCTV installation costs in commercial buildings, here’s a rough overview:
| Size of commercial property | Average cost |
| Small | $2,500 |
| Large | $8,000 |
