The price of a CCTV installation in coaxial HDCVI, with 2 MP cameras, is about 101,720 DA HT for 4 cameras and 176,840 DA HT for 8 cameras, labor included, in the minimal scenario detailed below.
In short
- 4 cameras: 87,720 DA HT of equipment + 14,000 DA HT labour (median observed on our quotes) = 101,720 DA HT. 8 cameras: 148,840 + 28,000 = 176,840 DA HT.
- This is a minimal scenario: no UPS, screen, civil engineering or travel.
- All selected items were in stock at the survey: check budget first.
Assumptions of the estimate
Equipment is priced at the HT prices from the AsloTech online shop as of 06/11/2026, subject to availability.
- Cameras : bullet HDCVI 2 MP Dahua HAC-HFW1200TP, 6,500 DA HT.
- XVR : 4‑channel DHI-XVR 5104HS-I3, 18,800 DA HT ; 8‑channel DHI-XVR 5108HS-X-I3, 28,000 DA HT.
- Dedicated surveillance disk: Hikvision 4 TB, 28,000 DA HT, for 4 cameras; Hikvision 6 TB, 39,500 DA HT, for 8. Check each recorder’s maximum capacity before buying: Dahua XVR 5104HS‑I3 datasheets indicate 6 to 16 TB depending on revision.
- Cable : KX7+ALIM Newtech 100 m, 11,000 DA excl. VAT. Assume 20 m per camera: the recorder is near the site center and the actual path adds detours to a straight line. Thus 80 m (one spool) for 4 cameras, 160 m (two spools) for 8. The real length is measured during the visit.
- Connectique : 3 pieces per camera at 60 DA HT, that is 2 BNC male plugs and 1 female connector. The power plug is not priced: no price in our records.
- Alimentation : ECM 4‑output block (60 W), 3,200 DA HT, for 4 cameras; Newtech 18‑output block (12 V, 30 A), 5,900 DA HT, for 8, cheaper than 2 ECM blocks (2 × 3,200 = 6,400 DA HT). A 2‑MP camera consumes a few watts: these blocks have margin, but voltage drop increases with cable length.
- Main‑d'œuvre : line “labor and miscellaneous fees for one camera” in our quotes, 3,500 DA HT per camera (median).
Price of a CCTV installation: line‑by‑line costing
| Item (in DA HT) | 4 cameras | 8 cameras |
|---|---|---|
| HDCVI 2 MP Cameras | 4 × 6 500 = 26 000 | 8 × 6 500 = 52 000 |
| XVR | 18 800 | 28 000 |
| Dedicated hard drive | 28 000 | 39 500 |
| KX7+ALIM 100 m cable | 1 × 11 000 = 11 000 | 2 × 11 000 = 22 000 |
| BNC plugs and connectors | 12 × 60 = 720 | 24 × 60 = 1 440 |
| Power block | 3 200 | 5 900 |
| Labor | 4 × 3 500 = 14 000 | 8 × 3 500 = 28 000 |
- 4 cameras: 26,000 + 18,800 + 28,000 + 11,000 + 720 + 3,200 = 87,720 equipment; 87,720 + 14,000 = 101,720.
- 8 cameras: 52,000 + 28,000 + 39,500 + 22,000 + 1,440 + 5,900 = 148,840 equipment; 148,840 + 28,000 = 176,840.
At 2 Mb/s per camera, these disks hold about 46 days (4,000 ÷ 86.4) for 4 cameras and 35 days (6,000 ÷ 172.8) for 8: see the recording duration. Actual throughput depends on settings.
Summary HT
| In DA HT | 4 cameras | 8 cameras |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment, store price | 87 720 | 148 840 |
| Labor, median (3,500 per camera) | 14 000 | 28 000 |
| Total HT | 101 720 | 176 840 |
| Total excl. VAT per camera | 101 720 ÷ 4 = 25 430 | 176 840 ÷ 8 = 22 105 |
| Total HT, minimum labor (2,500 per camera) | 87 720 + 10 000 = 97 720 | 148 840 + 20 000 = 168 840 |
| Total HT, maximum labor (6,500 per camera) | 87 720 + 26 000 = 113 720 | 148 840 + 52 000 = 200 840 |
The minimum, median and maximum labor values are order‑of‑magnitude figures observed in our quotes (41 lines in confirmed orders).
What the price does not include
- UPS: starting at 10,500 DA HT for the EAST UPS EA265 Pro 650 VA (390 W). Power and autonomy are sized from consumption: see the guide on UPS for cameras.
- Control screen, civil engineering, travel : on quote.
The scale of our projects
In our confirmed quotes, the median is 4 cameras per project, for an all‑in cost (equipment, installation, accessories) of about 32,700 DA HT per camera, between 25,160 and 45,714 DA HT by quartiles. This is an order of magnitude, not a price. Our 4‑camera scenario (25,430 DA HT per camera) falls between the lower quartile and the median, the 8‑camera scenario (22,105 DA HT) below the lower quartile: these are minimal scenarios, without UPS, screen or travel.
Frequently asked questions
Why might a quote differ from this estimate?
Cable length, mounting height and camera choice change the total: the technical visit sets them.
How much does it cost to switch to 5 MP cameras?
The bullet HDCVI 5 MP DH‑HAC‑HFW1500TP costs 12,800 DA HT. For 4 cameras: 4 × 12,800 = 51,200 DA HT, that is 51,200 − 26,000 = 25,200 DA HT more. The XVR 5104HS‑I3 accepts up to 5 MP, and the disk must be larger: 5 MP rates are in the guide on recording duration.
How to reduce the budget without changing technology?
The PVC dome 2 MP HAC‑T1A21P at 6,000 DA HT saves 4 × (6,500 − 6,000) = 2,000 DA HT. A plastic case generally resists shocks less than a metal case. The XVR 4‑channel Cooper at 12,000 DA HT saves 18,800 − 12,000 = 6,800 DA HT, but this is not a neutral saving: according to the manufacturer’s sheet, this model records at most 1080N, a resolution lower than that of a 2‑MP camera. Only the dome saving (2,000 DA HT) is made without loss of definition.
