Pricing guide

Costs for a camera install are generally made up of a call‑out fee, hourly labour and the cost of materials. Easy residential installs with standard access and a single technician are typically less expensive, while additional cameras, specialist access, or required electrical and network upgrades can increase the overall cost. After‑hours attendance usually attracts a higher rate.

  • Number and type of cameras

    More cameras or higher‑spec models usually increase installation time and material requirements.

  • Access and installation height

    Jobs requiring scaffolding, roof work or specialist access typically take longer and add complexity.

  • Power and network upgrades

    If existing power or data points are inadequate, additional electrical or network work is often needed and broadens the scope.

  • Call‑out and travel distance

    A call‑out fee and the technician's travel time are normally included and affect the initial charge.

  • Timing and after‑hours attendance

    Scheduling outside standard hours usually increases the labour rate and overall cost.

Frequently asked questions

Do security installers need a licence?
Yes — licensing for security installation is mandatory. You should confirm the installer holds the required security installer licence and ask to see proof before work begins.
How long does a camera install take?
With easy access and a single technician, many standard residential installs are typically completed in a single visit. The actual time depends on camera count, mounting complexity and whether additional power or network work is required.
Will I need an electrician or network upgrades?
A standard profile assumes no electrician or major network upgrades are included. If your property lacks suitable power or data points, an electrician or network technician may be needed and that work is usually quoted separately.
What should I ask the installer beforehand?
Ask which camera models and recording/storage options they plan to use, whether commissioning and testing are included, and if the quote covers the call‑out, materials and any required upgrades. Also confirm the installer is appropriately licensed.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to security installers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
How many quotes will I get?
We'll match you with up to 3 security installers initially. If you'd like more options, you can request additional matches.
Do I pay anything to get quotes?
No — the service is 100% free for homeowners.
Why do you need photos?
