CCTV Installation in Bangalore: A clear view.
A quieter mind.

The calculator shows a hardware subtotal for the camera count, brand (CP Plus or Prama) and tier you choose: the cameras plus the recorder (NVR), surveillance hard drive, PoE switch and accessories listed in the breakdown, sized for 30-day video backup. Cabling and installation are quoted separately because cable runs vary from home to home. After the ₹500 site visit (adjusted against your invoice), you receive a fixed-price project document within 24-48 hours. Calculator prices are indicative, so confirm current prices with Homezee.

Based on our online CCTV calculator (30-day video backup), the hardware for a 4-camera home system costs about ₹44,500 – ₹51,000, depending on brand (CP Plus or Prama) and camera resolution (2MP mid-range vs 4MP premium). That covers the cameras, a network video recorder (NVR), a 2TB surveillance hard drive, a PoE switch, junction boxes and a rack. Cabling and installation are quoted separately because cable runs vary from home to home. We provide a fixed-price quote after a paid site visit (₹500 for CCTV-only assessments, adjusted against your invoice). Use the calculator on our CCTV page to price any number of cameras from 1 to 16. For how many cameras a home needs and what drives the cost, see our guide to CCTV installation cost in Bangalore.

For a 3BHK apartment, our CCTV calculator prices a 4-camera system (2 dome + 2 bullet) at about ₹44,500 – ₹51,000 in hardware: ₹44,472 (Prama 2MP) to ₹50,870 (CP Plus 4MP). That includes the cameras, NVR, 2TB surveillance hard drive, PoE switch, junction boxes and rack. Cabling and installation are quoted after the ₹500 site visit. Apartments are typically faster to install than villas because cable runs are shorter — we complete most 3BHK installs in a single day.

Hardware for an 8-camera system costs ₹65,964 to ₹82,496 excl. GST on our calculator (prices as of 28 October 2026), depending on brand and tier.

That covers the cameras (the calculator suggests 2 dome + 6 bullet), the recorder, the surveillance hard drive and the accessories listed in the calculator breakdown, sized for 30-day video backup. Cabling and installation are quoted after the ₹500 site visit, because cable runs differ from villa to villa.

Villas with 4-6 cameras usually take 6-8 hours to install. 8-camera systems, or jobs that need new conduit, can take up to 2 days.

Hardware for 16 cameras costs ₹1,21,028 to ₹1,59,632 excl. GST on our calculator (prices as of 28 October 2026).

The lowest figure is Prama Mid-range and the highest is Prama Premium. Every option includes a 16-channel recorder and storage sized for 30-day video backup, as listed in the calculator breakdown. Cabling and installation are quoted after the ₹500 site visit.

It depends on the tier and camera count: on Mid-range, Prama costs less at 4, 8 and 16 cameras; on Premium, Prama costs less at 4 cameras and CP Plus costs less at 8 and 16 cameras (calculator prices as of 28 October 2026).

For example, 4 cameras on Mid-range come to ₹44,472 with Prama and ₹48,422 with CP Plus. The price table on this page lists 4, 8 and 16 cameras for both brands and tiers.

We recommend the brand at the site visit, based on what you need to see and your budget, not on margin.

In our calculator, Premium uses 4MP cameras and Mid-range uses 2MP cameras, so Premium costs more for the same camera count.

For 4 cameras, Premium adds ₹2,448 to ₹5,846 to the hardware, depending on brand (prices as of 28 October 2026). Use "Compare both tiers" in the calculator to see every part that differs, including the recorder and hard drive.

2MP is fine for indoor and general coverage. 4MP is sharper for faces and for reading number plates at gates and parking, and it is our most-installed resolution for Bangalore homes.

A typical 4-camera installation in a 2BHK or 3BHK apartment completes in 4-6 hours on a single day. Villas with 4-6 cameras typically take 6-8 hours. Larger 8-camera systems or installations requiring new conduit may extend to 2 days. We assign one experienced technician per job and confirm timing in writing before installation day.

Wi-Fi cameras connect wirelessly and need power from a nearby outlet — fast to install but bandwidth-limited and prone to drops in larger homes. PoE (Power over Ethernet) cameras use a single Ethernet cable for both power and data — more reliable, no Wi-Fi congestion, slightly more cable work during installation. For 4+ camera setups in Bangalore homes, we almost always recommend PoE — better long-term reliability, especially during monsoon and power fluctuations.

The number refers to resolution. 2MP (1080p) is fine for indoor and general perimeter viewing. 4MP gives sharper zoom-in for face recognition and reading vehicle number plates — our most-installed resolution for Bangalore homes. 8MP (4K) is for very long distances or large open areas (compound entrances, parking lots). Higher resolution uses more storage, so we size the NVR hard drive accordingly.

Recording retention depends on hard drive size, number of cameras, and resolution. For our standard 4-camera 4MP setup with 1TB storage and motion-triggered recording, you typically get 25-35 days of recording before the oldest footage is overwritten. We can configure continuous 24/7 recording (shorter retention) or motion-only (longer retention) based on your preference. Storage can be upgraded to 2TB-6TB if you need longer retention.

Yes — all our outdoor cameras are IP66 or IP67 rated for dust and water resistance. We use weatherproof junction boxes, UV-resistant cable jackets, and properly sealed wall penetrations. Cameras are mounted under eaves or with rain shields where possible. We’ve installed across Bangalore monsoons for years without water-ingress callbacks.

You don’t need internet for the cameras to record — the NVR records continuously to its hard drive regardless of internet status. You only need internet if you want to view your cameras remotely on your mobile phone when you’re away from home. The recording itself works completely offline.

Yes — we configure the mobile app for every customer during installation. Works on iOS and Android. You can view live feeds, playback recordings, get motion-detection alerts, and share access with family members. For multi-camera viewing on a single screen, we configure the app’s split-view mode.

CCTV records what happens. Intrusion alarms prevent it from happening. They solve different problems and serious security setups use both.

A CCTV system gives you evidence — footage of who broke in, when, from which angle. Useful for insurance claims and police reports, less useful for stopping the intrusion in progress. By the time you check the camera app, the intruder has already entered.

An intrusion alarm system (door/window contact sensors, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, vibration sensors on perimeter, panic buttons) detects entry attempts at the boundary — before someone is inside — and triggers a response: loud siren, mobile app push, optional call to a monitoring service or designated family members, optional integration with smart lights that turn on all at once to scare the intruder away.

Modern systems integrate both. The intrusion system triggers, the relevant cameras start priority recording, the lights turn on, the lock sends a confirmation that it’s still secured (or alert if it was forced), and you get a single notification on your phone with the camera feed already loaded. That integrated response is dramatically more useful than any one of those components alone.

Our practical rule: standalone CCTV is fine for visibility but not for security. If the goal is actual security, the intrusion system is the centerpiece and CCTV is the evidence layer attached to it. For villas, ground-floor apartments, and homes that stay empty for extended periods, we recommend an integrated CCTV + intrusion + lighting system as a single design, not three separate purchases. For intrusion specifically, we install Hikvision for budget-conscious setups and Ajax for premium installations where the customer wants European-grade hardware, app-first management, and the flexibility to expand sensors over time without rewiring.

Yes, on credit cards. When you pay through our Razorpay checkout you can choose credit card EMI over 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months. It is available on cards from ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, RBL Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IndusInd Bank, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Yes Bank, BOBCARD, Federal Bank, IDFC First Bank and AU Small Finance Bank, and more banks may be added. The interest is set by your bank and rates vary by bank, so this is not no-cost EMI. EMI is subject to your bank’s approval. HDFC Bank and SBI cards, debit card EMI and cardless EMI are not currently available.

Yes. The CCTV site visit costs ₹500, and the fee is adjusted against your final invoice if you go ahead with the installation.

The visit takes about an hour: we plan camera placement, estimate cable runs, check network requirements and size the NVR. Within 24-48 hours you get a fixed-price project document with every camera on your floor plan and every cost broken down.

The first conversation on WhatsApp, before any visit, is free.

Every installation comes with a 1-year comprehensive full-system warranty covering hardware, wiring and programming, serviced by our in-house team, with no third-party call centres.

You also get 3 months of free onsite support from installation day. If a camera stops working within warranty, we replace it free within 48 hours of you reporting it. Manufacturer hardware warranty is typically 2-3 years depending on brand, and AMC is available from year 2.
