A CCTV camera system is one of the best deterrents for burglars and trespassers. Technological advances have made CCTV camera systems much more affordable. Estimating the exact cost of a residential CCTV camera installation depends on a number of factors including the type of system you require and the size of the system.

We offer a free, no obligation quote and would encourage you to get in touch with us to discuss your exact requirements. There are a number of factors to consider.

Indoor or outdoor CCTV system

You will want to consider what it is exactly you want the CCTV camera system to do. Perhaps you want it to cover certain entry points, or particular rooms with high value items. Or is it to keep members of your family safe, or act as an external deterrent to intruders. All these factors will determine the type of hardware you will need and the installation location. For example, outdoor cameras will need to be waterproof and weather resistant, and ideally tamper-proof.

Size of CCTV system

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 home; perhaps you're trying to cover 1st and 2nd floor external entry points. Generally speaking, the larger the property, the more hardware you'll need.

CCTV camera specification

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 the standard to seek to aid in the identification process.
