There is no single “CCTV package price” that fits every UAE site. Quotes vary with camera count, resolution, analytics, cabling distance, recording retention, and whether the project needs licensed installation and documentation.
Cost building blocks
- Cameras — resolution, lens type, IR range, vandal rating, and AI features
- Recording — NVR/VMS channels, hard-disk capacity, RAID, and failover
- Network & cabling — switches, PoE budget, fibre backbones, containment
- Labour — height access, night work, multi-floor pulls, commissioning time
- Software & licences — VMS seats, analytics, remote viewing apps
- AMC — preventive maintenance, firmware, spare parts, priority support
What usually raises the budget
Long cable runs without existing containment, outdoor harsh environments, ANPR lanes, facial recognition, and 30–90 day retention at high bitrate all add cost quickly. Undersizing storage or PoE to “save money” often creates expensive change orders after go-live.
How to get a useful quotation
Share floor plans, operating hours, must-cover zones, retention targets, and preferred brands if any. A proper survey should produce a channel count, storage calculation, network diagram, and phased options — not only a lump-sum number.
