Imagine something goes wrong at your gate tonight. Could you show exactly who, when and how? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Labour is usually quoted per camera point. - Cable length drives the cost more than the camera count. - Concealed wiring costs more than surface trunking. Quick answer Many Kenyan installers quote labour per camera point, often around KSh 2,000 to 4,000, plus cable by the metre, often KSh 80 to 150. A long run, a multi-storey building or concealed conduit raises the cost. Always ask whether the quote includes cable, trunking, power supplies, VAT and transport. [Photo: Alan J.
