Video surveillance pricing

Individual cameras and lenses are fairly inexpensive: $100 to $250 standard cameras, $300 to $500 or more for hidden cameras. Controllable cameras – "PTZ" cameras that Pan, Tilt, and Zoom – are much more expensive, starting at around $1500.

In most cases, the digital video recorder is the most expensive single component of a CCTV system. Security DVRs start around $800, higher if you need to record input from more than 4 cameras. The more memory and inputs you need, the more you can expect to pay.

You'll also need camera mounts, cabling, and installation. As a very rough rule of thumb, excpect to pay around $800 to $1,000 per camera for small installations: 2 to 4 camera systems with DVRs and monitors are commonly between $1,500 and $5,000. Lager systems – 10 to 20 camera installations – may cost only $500 per camera, or $4,000 to $10,000.
