Not a fixed quote. Every figure above is an editable starting assumption. Actual prices vary by brand, city, site conditions and installer -- always confirm with a local quotation before budgeting.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a fixed price quote?

No. Every figure in this estimate -- camera price, recorder price, cabling, labor, storage and UPS cost -- is a clearly labelled starting assumption that you can edit. Actual prices vary by brand, city and installer, so treat the total as an approximate range, not a quotation.

Why is there a low and high total?

Camera and recorder prices vary by brand and feature tier, so the estimate shows a realistic range rather than a single misleadingly precise number.

What does Installer Mode add here?

Installer Mode lets you set the exact resolution, codec and frame rate (for accurate bandwidth and storage sizing) and adds PoE power budget, recommended switch ports and recommended NVR channel count.
