Understanding CCTV System Installation Costs
Larger properties often require more cameras and extensive wiring, increasing installation costs.
High-definition and advanced features like night vision or PTZ capabilities impact pricing.
Indoor versus outdoor setups, including mounting surfaces and environmental factors, affect labor and equipment costs.
