Frequently Asked Questions
What's a realistic budget for a 4-camera home CCTV setup in 2026?
A budget setup (4x 2MP cameras, 4-channel DVR, 1TB HDD, cabling and installation) costs ₹13,000-18,000. Mid-range setups with 4MP cameras and 2TB storage run ₹20,000-32,000, and premium 4K setups with UPS backup go up to ₹35,000-55,000.
What hidden costs do CCTV installers often leave out of quotes?
The hard drive is frequently quoted separately — always confirm it's included. Conduit piping for neat cable routing (₹15-25/foot), a UPS backup for the DVR (₹3,000-5,000), and a static IP for remote access (₹200-500/month from your ISP) are the most commonly missed extras.
How much do labour charges typically add to a CCTV installation?
Standard installation with basic cable runs costs ₹500-800 per camera, while professional installation with conduit piping runs ₹1,200-2,000 per camera. In Haryana specifically, DVM Techno charges ₹1,200-1,800 per camera inclusive of hardware, cable, and labour.
Is an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) worth budgeting for?
Yes — for a 4-8 camera system, AMC typically costs ₹2,000-5,000/year and covers two preventive visits, cleaning, cable checks, and priority breakdown response. It's cheaper than paying for an emergency callout when a camera fails without warning.
