Like any electrical item, there are a wide range of prices for CCTV cameras from just a few pounds for dummy CCTV camera to spending hundreds or even thousands on specialist or bespoke CCTV cameras.
When deciding on CCTV cameras, as well as the suitability of the types of camera you are looking to use, price is obviously a factor. Taking advice from a specialist CCTV engineer is always a good idea as more expensive doesn’t always mean better and there are a wide range of good quality and cost effective CCTV cameras on the market.
Some people also think that the more expensive the CCTV camera, the better quality the footage. Whilst it is true that a HD or IP CCTV camera will give a better picture quality than an analogue CCTV camera, it’s actually the compression of the footage when stored that has more of an effect.
Yes CCTV cameras can be expensive but they can be very cheap too, it all depends upon your needs, requirements and how much you want to pay.
