CCTV pricing in Adelaide depends on coverage goals, camera quality, and installation complexity. This guide outlines typical cost drivers so you can compare quotes accurately and avoid under-built systems.

What influences CCTV pricing?

Coverage requirements: Number of cameras and the areas they need to cover.
Camera quality: Higher resolution and better low-light performance cost more.
Installation complexity: Two-storey homes, long cable runs, and difficult access increase labor.
Recording and storage: More cameras and longer retention need more storage.

Typical price ranges (Adelaide)

Every property is different, but the ranges below are useful for budgeting:

4-camera starter system: $2,000–$3,500 installed
6–8 camera mid-range system: $3,500–$6,000 installed
Premium 4K system: $5,500–$9,000 installed
Commercial sites: $7,000+ depending on scale

Where people overspend (and where they underspend)

Overspending happens when camera counts are inflated or the system is over-specced for the risk. Underspending happens when coverage is too thin and footage is unusable.

Overspend: Paying for cameras you’ll never view or use.
Underspend: Skipping crucial angles like driveways or side access.

Questions to ask before approving a quote

Will the camera positions capture faces and number plates?
How long will footage be retained?
Is remote access secure and easy to use?
What is included in installation (cabling, setup, training)?
