Key Cost Drivers
Single vs. Double Storey
- Running cables through a single-storey roof cavity is straightforward. Double-storey homes can require additional labour for wall fishing, roof access or discrete external conduit. As a guide, this may add around $350, depending on access and cable routing.
Storage: NVR vs. Cloud
- Opting for a local NVR with a hard drive requires a higher upfront cost (starting from $500) but incurs $0 in ongoing monthly fees. Cloud subscriptions can add significant ongoing costs, depending on the provider, number of cameras and recording retention. Some plans can reach hundreds of dollars per year.
Camera Resolution
- For many residential installations, 6MP provides a useful balance between image detail, storage requirements and system cost. Higher-resolution 4K/8MP cameras can be appropriate where greater detail or identification distance is required.
What is included in a professional CCTV installation?
- A professional CCTV installation typically includes the cameras, NVR, hard drive, PoE/network connection and integration with your router for remote access, cabling, camera mounting, system configuration, mobile app setup, testing, and a complete handover, so your system is ready to use from day one.
