# CCTV Installation Cost in Kenya

CCTV installation cost depends on real, identifiable factors -- not a single fixed number. Here's honestly what drives it up or down, so a quote makes sense when you get one.

What Affects Cost

## What Actually Drives CCTV Installation Cost

### Number of cameras

More cameras means more equipment, more cabling and more labour -- the most direct cost driver.

### Cabling distance

Cameras far from the recorder location need more cable and, sometimes, more labour to route it cleanly.

### Camera specification

Higher resolution, longer night-vision range or specialist cameras (PTZ, ColorVu) cost more than basic units.

### Recorder & storage

Channel count and storage capacity (how many days of footage you want retained) both affect the recorder cost.

### Site conditions

Difficult cable routing (multi-storey buildings, finished walls, long outdoor runs) adds labour time.

### Remote viewing setup

Configuring reliable remote/app viewing is usually included but is worth confirming is part of the scope.

Why No Fixed Price

## Why We Don't Publish a Fixed Installation Price

Because the factors above genuinely vary from site to site, a single published number would either be misleading for most customers or would need so many caveats it wouldn't mean anything. Instead, we assess your specific site (in person or based on details you send us) and provide a written, itemised quote covering equipment and installation.

FAQ

## Common questions

Why doesn't Qyvea publish a fixed CCTV installation price?

Because the real cost depends on the number of cameras, cabling distance, camera specification and site conditions -- a single published figure would be misleading for most sites.

Is a site visit required for a quote?

A site visit gives the most accurate quote, but we can also provide an estimate based on details and photos you send us if a visit isn't practical yet.

Does the quote include the camera equipment, or just labour?

Our quotes are itemised to show equipment and installation labour separately, so you can see what you're paying for.

Can I buy the equipment separately and just pay for installation labour?

In some cases yes -- discuss this with us directly, since it depends on the equipment and site.
