How much does Home CCTV cost?

The cost of home CCTV depends upon whether you want a simple CCTV Kit – or a more complicated installation.

Prices for a cheap home CCTV kit can vary from £200 upwards, which is probably the minimum if you want a system that will do the job adequately. Having a CCTV system installed in your home generally costs from £500 upwards, or you can spend thousands of pounds for something more sophisticated. It all depends on quality, means of installation and the brand.

There are many different kinds of cameras, with additional hardware, so it is impossible to give a standard price.

On no account, however, should you try to save money by opting for the cheapest equipment. If you are buying a kit, make sure you shop around and make sure that the system you choose is up to the job and provides the good quality images you need to protect your home. There is no point having a system that only captures grainy poor images, they are no use.


How much do CCTV Cameras cost?

In the UK, you can get a CCTV camera with anything from £25 to £1,500, although, on occasion they may go well up to £3,000.

It is even possible to purchase and do the installation yourself, if it comes with instructions.

There are many types and specifications of CCTV cameras, although there are lots of different sub types, based on price and performance quality.

Working out how much CCTV cameras cost is easy – there are lots of retailers online, however when it comes to a complete install – the sky is the limit. Prices depend upon many factors. Explore our CCTV Cost & Pricing Guide to learn more about the cost of CCTV installation.

DIY vs. Professional Home CCTV Installation: What’s the Real Difference?

While many homeowners may be tempted by DIY CCTV kits that look cost-effective upfront, there’s more to consider than the price tag.

DIY CCTV kits often offer limited quality, with lower-grade cameras, basic software, and minimal technical support. Installation can be time-consuming, and incorrect wiring, poor camera placement, or weak Wi-Fi connectivity can lead to blind spots or unreliable footage.

In contrast, professional CCTV installation ensures every detail is properly handled, from discreet wiring to optimal camera positioning. Our qualified installers here at CCTV.co.uk will also configure your system for remote viewing, provide full demonstration and aftercare, and ensure compliance with UK home CCTV laws.

Ultimately, a professional home CCTV system provides long-term reliability, clearer footage, and expert support, saving you money and stress over time.
