How Much Does CCTV Installation Cost in Melbourne?

One of the most common questions around CCTV installation is simple:

How much does it cost?

Unfortunately, there’s no single price that applies to every Melbourne property.

The biggest factors are usually the number of cameras, equipment selected and how difficult the property is to cable.

What Changes the Price?

A straightforward four-camera installation on a single-storey home can be very different from installing eight cameras around a double-storey property.

Some of the main factors include:

Number of cameras
More cameras generally mean additional equipment, cabling and installation time.

Camera quality
Resolution, low-light performance and detection features can affect equipment cost.

Cabling difficulty
Accessible roof space can make an installation relatively straightforward. Multi-storey homes, solid walls and difficult cable routes can require considerably more work.

Recording storage
More cameras and longer recording periods require additional storage.

Network requirements
Some properties may also benefit from network upgrades, switches or other infrastructure.

Don’t Compare CCTV Quotes on Camera Count Alone

Two quotes for “six cameras” aren’t necessarily providing the same result.

Look at the actual equipment, recording capacity, installation quality and where the cameras will be positioned.

A properly positioned camera can be more valuable than adding another camera simply to increase the camera count.
