Really how much is a camera or camera system ?

This is the most common question an Installer - Reseller of Security Systems hears.
But is there a quick answer to this question?
Certainly not and if someone answers it will be with a caveat.

But let's see how a camera system is priced

These systems are complex & consist of a variety of materials that need to be properly combined to form an integrated system.
Just as all people do not wear the same clothes, camera systems do not do everything for everyone. Each application (Home - Shop - Office - Warehouse etc) has its own peculiarities . So an autopsy must be done on the site so as to create the appropriate study for the specific site .

The information that a researcher needs to collect is as follows

- Distances
- Number of points
- Space lighting
- Indoors
- Outdoor areas
- Field of View
- Wiring
- Communications
- Special requirements

After recording the requirements and the specificities of the site, an economic and technical study is drawn up in accordance with the recording of
The study includes the elements of the system as well as a floor plan with the location of the cameras

The elements that make up the study are

- Camera recorder
- Hard disk
- Cameras.
- Camera bases
- Camera power supplies
- UPS
- monitor
- Controls
- Cables
- Miscellaneous Accessories
- Labour costs
- Maintenance services

In all of the above elements there is a wide variety of epilogues based on technical characteristics
The main ones beyond the number of cameras are the required resolution, the distances of the viewing points, and the lighting of the area.

So let's look at an example

System with 4 outdoor cameras without existing wiring

2mp resolution with Night Vision at 20m and 100m wiring 400 € Lite Series 600€ Pro Series
4mp resolution with Night Vision at 50m and 100m wiring 600 € Lite Series 850€ Pro Series
8mp resolution with Night Recording at 80m and 100m wiring 1400 € Lite Series 2200€ Pro Series

2mp resolution with Night Vision at 20m and 180m wiring 500 € Lite Series 700€ Pro Series
4mp resolution with Night Vision at 50m and 180m wiring 700 € Lite Series 950€ Pro Series
8mp resolution with Night Recording at 80m and 180m wiring 1500 € Lite Series 2300€ Pro Series

From the above example we understand that for a system with the same number of cameras (4) there can be up to 12 different cost plans depending on the needs of the site and the requirements of the prospective buyer.

So next time don't look directly for how much a system does , but look for an expert to do a study for you. Call us at 28210 08007 to arrange an appointment for a free safety study
