Here we explain how the price of each service is calculated: which factors
raise it and which bring it down. We do not publish fixed figures because
every installation is different. Reference quotes are free of charge; the
firm number comes from a technical visit.
A video surveillance system is priced by camera point. These are the factors that move the price.
Factors that determine the price of Video surveillance (CCTV)
Factor
How it affects the price

IP cameras cost more than analog HD, but they offer better resolution and scale more easily.
Resolution (4 MP or 8 MP)
Higher resolution means a higher price per camera and more storage space.
Cabling and cable runs
Long runs and concealed conduit increase materials and labor hours.
Storage (days of recording)
More recording days require higher-capacity drives.
High mounting
Installing on a pole or facade above 4 meters carries a surcharge per point.
Video analytics
People or license-plate detection adds equipment or licenses.
Remote monitoring
App setup and notifications may be included or quoted separately.
How much does it cost to install video surveillance (CCTV) in Mexico City?
