A CCTV camera system is one of the best commercial decisions you can make to protect your business. Technological advances have made CCTV camera systems much more affordable. Estimating the exact cost of a commercial CCTV camera installation depends on a number of factors including the type of system you require and the size of the system.

Type of cameras

CCTV cameras come in a range of resolutions. The higher the resolution, the clearer the picture. The choice of camera would very much depend on what you are trying to monitor and the area you are trying to cover. For the monitoring of potential intruders, HD quality is an excellent starting point. The best in the market would be an IP CCTV camera system. This would offer the highest quality available and the most adaptable system to future-proof your costs.

Number of cameras

The larger the CCTV system needs to be, the higher the cost. You may wish to cover a number of entry points, or several points inside your business; perhaps you're trying to cover 1st and 2nd floor external entry points. Generally speaking, the larger the premises, the more hardware you'll need.

Camera placement

You will need to consider the placement of your CCTV camera system. Do you wish to cover the inside of your premises, the outside or a mix of both? Are all the camera placements on the ground floor, or will access be needed to external points on higher floors? We can discuss all of this when we're putting together your free, bespoke quote.

DVR system

When it comes to the DVR system, you'll need to think about the number of cameras you wish to network, and the length of time you want to store footage. A few weeks is the norm when it comes to the storage of footage, but if you wish longer than this then there will be the associated costs. Our two most popular DVR systems can accommodate 24 or 64 channel IP cameras.
