CCTV Installation Cost in Pakistan (2026 Guide)

When consumers in Pakistan plan to install a complete CCTV system at their home, office, shop or commercial property, one of the first questions they often ask is: “How much will this complete CCTV setup cost?”

The answer is rarely a single fixed price. A CCTV estimate (quotation) may include 4, 8, 16 or more cameras, as well as a DVR or NVR, storage, cabling, other accessories and installation costs. The final cost of the installation depends on the type of cameras, the number of cameras required, storage capacity, cable length and the complexity of the installation work.

This is why the prices of two CCTV systems with the same number of cameras can vary significantly.

In this 2026 guide, we will explain the detailed cost of CCTV installation in Pakistan (including equipment, cabling, storage and labour), so that you can understand what you are actually paying for before requesting a quotation.

What Determines CCTV Installation Cost in Pakistan?

The total CCTV installation price depends on the complete system required for your property. The number of cameras is usually the starting point, but camera specifications, recording requirements, cable distances, and installation conditions also affect the final cost.

Let’s look at the main components of a typical CCTV installation.

Number of CCTV Cameras Required

The number of cameras required significantly impacts the overall cost. A small shop, office, or home would require four cameras to monitor entrances, common areas, and outdoor spaces. A larger home or business may require eight cameras, while schools, warehouses, factories, and other commercial properties can require 16, 32, or even more cameras.

Similarly, installing more cameras than initially planned also affects other parts of the system. More cameras usually mean you will require more recording channels, additional storage, longer cable runs, more accessories, and higher installation charges.

DVR or NVR Requirements

Your recording system is another important part of the CCTV camera price with installation. Analog and HD analog CCTV systems generally use a DVR, while IP camera systems use an NVR.

Recorders are commonly available with 4, 8, 16, or 32 channels. The number of channels determines how many cameras the recorder can support. You should also keep future expansion in mind. For example, if your current requirement is six cameras, an 8 channel NVR may work, but opting for a 16 channel NVR would be better if you plan to add more cameras later.

Camera Type and Resolution

Not every CCTV camera costs the same. A basic 2MP camera will usually cost less than a higher resolution 4MP, 5MP, or 8MP camera. Features such as full colour night vision, human and vehicle detection, two way audio, motorised zoom, PTZ control, and AI based detection can also increase the equipment cost.

The camera type should therefore be selected according to the area you want to monitor rather than simply choosing the cheapest or most expensive option.

Hard Drive and Recording Storage

CCTV systems require significant storage capacity to retain recorded footage. The required hard drive capacity depends on the number of cameras, camera resolution, recording settings, compression technology, and the duration for which you wish to retain the footage. For instance, a system designed to store several weeks of footage will require substantially more storage.

This means that 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, 8TB, or larger surveillance hard drives may be needed depending on the project.

CCTV Cabling and Accessories

Cabling is another important part of the home security camera installation cost.

Depending on the system, an installation may use coaxial cable or Cat6 network cable. The total cable requirement depends on the distance between each camera and the DVR, NVR, or network equipment.

A complete installation may also require connectors, camera junction boxes, power supplies, PoE switches, network switches, racks, conduits, and other accessories.

A large building with long cable routes will therefore usually cost more to install than a smaller property with cameras located close to the recorder.

CCTV Installation and Labour Charges

Finally, the CCTV camera installation cost in Pakistan also includes the work required to physically install and configure the system. Installation charges can vary depending on camera locations, mounting height, cable routing, concealed wiring, wall drilling, number of floors, and overall complexity of the project.

In a small shop, a straightforward 4-camera installation will usually require less labour than installing 4 cameras at different heights and locations across a large property.

Once these factors are understood, the cost becomes much easier to estimate. Let’s start with the simplest and most affordable option for homes and small businesses: WiFi camera packages.

EZVIZ WiFi Camera Packages: Installation Cost Without a DVR

Not every property needs a wired CCTV system. EZVIZ WiFi cameras record directly to a memory card fitted in the camera and stream to your phone through the EZVIZ app. There is no DVR or NVR to buy, no hard drive, and almost no cabling, because each camera only needs a power socket and a WiFi signal. This is why a complete WiFi camera setup costs a fraction of a wired system with the same number of cameras.

WiFi cameras are a good fit for homes, apartments, small shops and offices, and for anyone renting a property who cannot run cables through the walls. The only real requirement is a stable internet connection at the location where the camera is mounted.

At TECHVEZ we have put together ready-made packages so you do not have to work out which camera to pair with which memory card. Every package below uses original EZVIZ indoor and outdoor cameras with official warranty, and every camera in a package is priced Rs 1,000 lower than buying it separately.

Package	What you get	Package price
Indoor Starter	2 × EZVIZ H6C 2MP Pan Tilt + 2 × 64GB card	Rs 17,000
Indoor Smart	2 × EZVIZ H6C Pro 3MP + 2 × 64GB card	Rs 19,600
Indoor Premium	2 × EZVIZ H6C Pro 5MP + 2 × 128GB card	Rs 28,400
Indoor Family (4 cameras)	4 × EZVIZ H6C Pro 3MP + 4 × 64GB card	Rs 39,200
Outdoor Starter	2 × EZVIZ H8C 2K 3MP + 2 × 64GB card	Rs 28,600
Outdoor Pro	2 × EZVIZ H8C Pro 3K 5MP + 2 × 128GB card	Rs 38,200
Outdoor Dual Lens	2 × EZVIZ H9C Dual 3MP+3MP + 2 × 128GB card	Rs 44,200
Outdoor Complete (4 cameras)	2 × H8C 2K + 2 × H8C Pro 5MP + 4 × 64GB card	Rs 62,800
Home Combo (2 indoor + 2 outdoor)	2 × H6C Pro 3MP + 2 × H8C 2K + 4 × 64GB card	Rs 48,200
Home Combo Pro (2 indoor + 2 outdoor)	2 × H6C Pro 5MP + 2 × H8C Pro 5MP + 4 × 128GB card	Rs 66,600
4G / No-WiFi	1 × EZVIZ H8C 4G + 128GB card	Rs 20,100
Solar 4G	1 × EZVIZ HB8 Lite 4G + 128GB card	Rs 35,100

Package prices are for 2026 and may change with exchange rates and stock. Professional installation and app setup is charged at Rs 1,500 to 2,000 per camera, depending on mounting height and location. So a 2-camera package installed costs Rs 3,000 to 4,000 extra, and a 4-camera package Rs 6,000 to 8,000 extra.

When Is a Wired CCTV System Still the Better Choice?

WiFi cameras are not the answer for every site. If you need eight or more cameras, continuous 24/7 recording kept for weeks, or coverage in a building where the WiFi signal is weak, a wired system with an NVR and hard drive is the more reliable option. If we put the difference in numbers: a 4-camera EZVIZ WiFi setup such as our Home Combo costs around Rs 55,000 fully installed, while a wired 4-camera Hikvision IP system with NVR, hard drive and cabling typically starts above Rs 1 lakh. The gap is not the cameras. It is the recorder, the storage and the cable work.

What Is Included in a Professional CCTV Installation Quote?

One reason quotations from different companies look so different is that they do not always include the same things. A camera-only price from a market shop is not the same as a complete installed system. A proper CCTV installation quotation should cover:

• A site survey to decide camera positions and count
• Cameras, recorder (DVR/NVR) and hard drive, or memory cards for WiFi cameras
• Cabling, conduit and junction boxes
• Power supplies and PoE or network switches where needed
• Physical mounting and cable routing
• Recorder and network configuration
• Mobile app setup so you can view the cameras remotely
• Testing of every camera and recording before handover
• Product warranty and after-sales support

At TECHVEZ our quotations list these items separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

How to Reduce CCTV Installation Cost Without Compromising Security

• Cover the entry points first. The main gate and main door, driveway and the back of the property matter most. Add interior cameras later if you still need them.
• Buy the recorder once. If you need six cameras today, an 8-channel recorder works, but a 16-channel unit costs a little more now and saves you replacing it when you expand.
• Match resolution to the area. A 2MP camera is fine for a small room or a corridor. Spend on 4MP or 5MP only where you need to read faces or number plates.
• Choose WiFi cameras where they make sense. For a home or small shop with good internet, a WiFi package removes the recorder, hard drive and most of the labour.
• Avoid concealed wiring unless you really need it. Surface conduit is neater than most people expect and much cheaper to install.
• Buy original products with warranty. A cheap camera that fails after eight months costs more than a genuine one that lasts five years.
• Get a site survey before buying anything. A twenty-minute survey usually saves at least one unnecessary camera.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 4 camera CCTV setup cost in Pakistan?

A 4-camera EZVIZ WiFi package starts at around Rs 39,000 for equipment, or roughly Rs 45,000 to 55,000 installed. A wired 4-camera system with NVR, hard drive and cabling typically starts above Rs 1 lakh depending on the resolution of the cameras and the cable lengths.

What is the CCTV installation charge per camera?

For WiFi cameras, installation and app setup is Rs 1,500 to 2,000 per camera. For wired systems the labour depends on cable routing, mounting height and the number of floors, so it is quoted per site rather than per camera.

Is WiFi camera installation cheaper than wired CCTV?

Yes, significantly. WiFi cameras need no DVR, hard drive or cable runs, so installation is comparatively easy and costs around Rs 1,500 to 2,000 per camera. A wired system involves cabling, conduit, recorder setup and storage, so labour alone usually runs several thousand rupees for four cameras, plus the extra equipment.

Do I need a hard drive for WiFi cameras?

No. EZVIZ WiFi cameras save recordings to a microSD card that fits into a slot on the camera. A 64GB card gives roughly a week of motion-triggered recording; a 128GB or 256GB card gives you a longer history.

Does the price include cabling and the DVR or NVR?

In a quotation by TECHVEZ, yes. Cabling, recorder, hard drive and installation are listed as separate line items so you can see the full cost. Always ask any installer whether their price is for cameras only or for the complete system.

Can I install CCTV cameras myself?

WiFi cameras such as the EZVIZ H6C or H8C can be set up by most people in a few minutes using the app. If you prefer not to do it yourself, our team can install and configure them for Rs 1,500 to 2,000 per camera. Wired systems involve cable routing, drilling, recorder configuration and network setup, and are best left to a professional.

How long does CCTV installation take?

A 2 to 4 camera WiFi setup takes one to two hours. A wired 4-camera system is usually completed in one day, and an 8 to 16 camera installation in one to two days depending on the building.

Does the installation cost vary between Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad?

The equipment price is the same anywhere in Pakistan. Installation charges depend mainly on the number of cameras and the cable work, not the city. Please note: for sites outside Lahore we quote travel separately.

What is a CCTV AMC and how much does it cost?

An AMC (annual maintenance contract) covers scheduled visits to clean cameras, check recording, update firmware and fix faults during the year. TECHVEZ offers AMCs for homes, offices and commercial sites; the cost depends on the number of cameras and visit frequency, and is quoted per site.

Do you provide a warranty on installation?

All products carry the official manufacturer warranty, and our installation work is covered for one year against workmanship faults.

Conclusion: Get the Right CCTV Installation Cost for Your Property

CCTV installation cost in Pakistan comes down to five things: the number of cameras, the recorder, the storage, the cabling and the labour. Once you know which of those your property actually needs, the price stops being a mystery. A WiFi camera package for a home or small shop can be installed for under Rs 60,000, while a full wired system for a larger property is a bigger but longer-lasting investment.

The cheapest quotation is rarely the best one. Original equipment, proper cabling and correct configuration are what keep a system working for years rather than months.
