Everyone wants to leave in a calm and secure home. There is no need for one to leave while being anxious about his or her life while in his or her home. That’s why today I’ve decided to talk about the CCTV cameras’ installation cost in your home.
There are two choices to make: wireless or wired and IP or CCTV. However, many other home security system improvements contribute to the final setup. Most systems have multiple cameras with either cloud (NVR) or on-site (DVR) storage.
Sometimes they include motion detectors, improved resolution, professional monitoring, and night vision capabilities.
Increased options mean increased complexity and increased costs. Ultimately, your needs and preferences are going to dictate the final bill.
Cost to install CCTV cameras in Kenya
CCTV installation costs between Ksh5,000 to Ksh25,000 or even more depending on the number and type of cameras to be fitted.
It entails fixing cameras at designated places, connecting RJ45 cables for digital CCTVs or coaxial cables for analog CCTVs, fitting recorders or configuring internet on the IP cameras and linking them to a monitor for eye surveillance. 4 camera CCTV installations cost above Ksh20,000.
Factors that affect the cost of CCTV installation in Kenya
The size of your home – the larger your compound, the more CCTV cameras you will need, and this would mean spending more.
1. Security needs – expensive cameras with high resolution and a 360-degree scope will be needed for high surveillance around your fence and monitoring your children in the compound.
2. Type of cameras (external or internal) – internal cameras don’t need to be weatherproof but external cameras must be waterproof to sustain the adverse weather varieties outside.
3. Wired/wireless – wired cameras are more expensive to install than wireless thus, professional help is needed for accuracy
Guide When choosing a professional CCTV installer in Kenya
With no licensing board to license CCTV installers in Kenya and with the task too ‘manual’ for you, an individual, to ask for qualifications (papers), it is hard to distinguish between a real CCTV installer and a quack.
Of course, many corporates will not fall victim to fraudsters because they use tenders to eliminate those incapable of the job, but individuals like you are easy targets to scammers.
- Professional CCTV installers usually conduct site surveys to come up with installation budget estimates and assess whether the camera options chosen by customers meet their needs.
- They have flexibility in booking a date for installation to ensure you are at home during the installation process.
- If they offer CCTV cameras plus installation services, make sure they have a warranty.
- Real CCTV installers have offices where you can visit them for complaints anytime.
- Ensure the CCTV installer offers after-sales and call support for all technical queries.
- Read reviews on their website and find out how they served customers in the past
