How much should I pay for CCTV installation?

That depends on what kind of CCTV in London you need — number of cameras, how advanced, whether it’s residential or business, etc. But I can give you a rough idea for London based on recent data.

✅ Typical ranges for CCTV installation in London

• For a basic residential CCTV system (say 2–4 cameras), expect around £300–£700.
• For a more complete home or small-business setup (about 4–8 cameras, HD + remote access), common costs fall in the £800–£1,500 range.
• For larger or commercial systems with many cameras (e.g. 8–20+ cameras, advanced features, monitoring, analytics), costs often start around £2,000 and can go up significantly depending on scope.

🔧 What affects the cost

• Your final price depends on multiple factors:
• Number of cameras and coverage area. More cameras → higher cost.
• Quality and type of cameras (basic analog vs IP cameras, resolution, night-vision, outdoor-rated, PTZ/zoom, etc.).
• Installation complexity — wiring, mounting, outdoor setup, long cable runs, hard-to-reach areas, multiple floors, etc.
• Additional services or features — remote viewing, app integration, cloud or local storage, maintenance/monitoring, outdoor weatherproofing, etc.

🎯 What’s reasonable to expect for you

• If you just want basic monitoring for a house or small flat in London — e.g. covering doors, a driveway/garden, one or two outdoor cameras, maybe a couple indoors — you should budget around £400–£800.
• If you want more comprehensive coverage (multiple cameras, night-vision, recording, remote access), best to budget £1,000–£1,500.
• For large property / commercial / business use (office, shop, warehouse, multiple access points), expect £2,000+ depending on complexity and features.
