How much does CCTV cost to install?

At East Anglia Security Solutions, entry-level home systems start from around £500, and every system is quoted individually after a free survey — a clear, itemised price with no hidden extras, and no monthly fees to worry about afterwards. Here's how it breaks down.

What Affects The Price
What drives the cost of a CCTV system
Number of cameras
The biggest single factor — more cameras means more equipment, cabling and time on site.
Resolution
Higher-resolution 4K cameras cost more than HD, but capture the detail needed to identify faces and plates.
Wired or wireless
Wireless can cut installation time, while wired systems are rock-solid — we'll advise what suits your property.
Your property
Cable runs, wall types and access all affect labour — a modern home wires up faster than a period property.
Recording & storage
Your DVR or NVR and how many days of footage you want to keep affects the hardware cost.
Extra features
Add-ons like ANPR, smart analytics or remote multi-site access add capability — and cost.
No Ongoing Fees
No monthly fees — you own the system
Some big-brand and DIY systems tie you into monthly cloud or monitoring subscriptions that add up fast. Ours don't. Footage records locally to a DVR or NVR, so once your system's installed, it's yours.
You can still view live and recorded footage from your phone wherever you are — you just don't pay a monthly fee to do it. The only optional ongoing cost is a maintenance visit if you want one, and there's no contract tying you in.
Worth It?
Why a professional install pays off
A cheap DIY kit can look like a saving — until the cameras point at the wrong spot, the cabling's untidy, or the footage isn't clear enough to be any use when it matters.
- Cameras placed to cover blind spots
- Tidy, hidden cabling
- Clear footage that identifies faces & plates

FAQs
CCTV installation cost FAQs

It depends mainly on the number of cameras and how they're wired. As a guide, home systems typically run from around £400 for a small setup to £2,000+ for a larger one; ours start from around £500. We give a clear, itemised quote after a free survey — see our CCTV installation page.
How much does a 4-camera CCTV system cost?
Typically somewhere around £650–£1,400 installed in the UK, depending on resolution, cabling and your property. The only way to get an exact figure is a free survey — we'll price it to your specific needs, not a generic package.
Are there any monthly fees?
No. Our systems record locally to a DVR or NVR, so once installed the system is yours — no monthly cloud or monitoring subscriptions. You can still view footage from your phone at no extra cost.
Is wireless CCTV cheaper than wired?
Wireless can reduce installation time and cost, but wired systems are more robust and the cameras are often cheaper. We'll recommend whichever genuinely suits your property rather than pushing one option.
Does the quote include everything?
Yes — our quotes are itemised and cover the cameras, recorder, cabling, installation and setup, with no hidden extras. If anything about your property would add cost, we tell you up front.
How much does commercial CCTV cost?
Commercial systems are priced per site because they vary so much — smaller business systems start from around £1,000 and larger multi-site systems more. See our commercial CCTV page, or book a free survey.
Do you charge for a quote or survey?
No — the survey and quote are completely free and no-obligation.
Is professional installation worth it over DIY?
For anything beyond a basic single camera, yes. You get proper camera placement, tidy hidden cabling, clear usable footage, correct recorder setup and advice on data-protection rules — things a DIY kit rarely gets right.
How much does CCTV maintenance cost?
We price servicing and repairs per visit after diagnosing the issue — there's no monthly maintenance contract required. See CCTV maintenance & repair.
