The price of an IP CCTV installation in PoE, with 2 MP cameras, is about 187,980 DA HT for 4 cameras and 261,960 DA HT for 8 cameras, labor included. It is 86,260 DA HT and 85,120 DA HT more than the same project in coaxial HDCVI, mainly due to the NVR, PoE switch and network cable spool.
In short
- 4 cameras: 173,980 DA HT for equipment + 14,000 DA HT labor (median observed on our quotes) = 187,980 DA HT. 8 cameras: 233,960 + 28,000 = 261,960 DA HT.
- The 8‑way NVR was out of stock at the survey. With the 16‑way NVR, in stock, add 25,000 DA excl. VAT.
- The estimate excludes the UPS, screen, travel and remote access.
Price of an IP CCTV installation, line by line
Price HT from the asloitech.com store on 06/11/2026, subject to availability. Assumption: 20 m of cable per camera, as in the coaxial guide, i.e. 80 m for 4 cameras and 160 m for 8, in both cases a single 300 m reel.
| Item (in DA HT) | 4 cameras | 8 cameras |
|---|---|---|
| Imou IPC‑F22AP PoE 2 MP Camera, 12,000 per unit | 4 × 12 000 = 48 000 | 8 × 12 000 = 96 000 |
| NVR 8 channels Dahua NVR5208-4KS2 (break at reading) | 48 000 | 48 000 |
| Hard drive Hikvision 4 TB or 6 TB | 28 000 | 39 500 |
| Genata 8‑port PoE Switch | 15 000 | 15 000 |
| Câble FTP Cat6 Newtech LSZH, 300 m reel | 34 500 | 34 500 |
| Fiches RJ45 FTP Cat6 D-Link, 2 per cable, 60 DA per unit | 8 × 60 = 480 | 16 × 60 = 960 |
| Labor and miscellaneous fees, 3,500 per camera | 4 × 3 500 = 14 000 | 8 × 3 500 = 28 000 |
- 4 cameras: 48,000 + 48,000 + 28,000 + 15,000 + 34,500 + 480 = 173,980 for equipment; 173,980 + 14,000 = 187,980.
- 8 cameras: 96,000 + 48,000 + 39,500 + 15,000 + 34,500 + 960 = 233,960 for equipment; 233,960 + 28,000 = 261,960.
- With minimal labor (2,500) or maximal (6,500 DA HT per camera) observed on our quotes: 4 cameras, 173,980 + 10,000 = 183,980 or 173,980 + 26,000 = 199,980; 8 cameras, 233,960 + 20,000 = 253,960 or 233,960 + 52,000 = 285,960.
Points to verify
- NVR: the smallest NVR in the survey has 8 channels. The NVR 16 voies NVR5216-EI 4KS2, in stock at 73,000 DA HT, costs 73,000 − 48,000 = 25,000 DA HT more: 187,980 + 25,000 = 212,980 and 261,960 + 25,000 = 286,960 DA HT. Compatibility between Imou cameras and a Dahua NVR is not established by our surveys: it usually passes through the ONVIF protocol and is tested before delivery.
- Switch: PoE budget of 120 W, i.e. 120 ÷ 8 = 15 W per camera at 8 cameras, close to the 802.3af PoE limit (15.4 W per port). The specs of the Imou IPC‑F22AP and Dahua HFW2230SP‑S‑S2 show less than 5 W per camera, i.e. less than 8 × 5 = 40 W total: the budget is generous. Injectors at 4,800 DA excl. VAT would cost 4 × 4,800 = 19,200 for 4 cameras and 8 × 4,800 = 38,400 for 8: see Wi‑Fi or wired PoE.
- Câble: the estimate retains a 300 m reel of câble FTP Cat6 Newtech at 34,500 DA HT (in stock), paid in full. For PoE, plan a copper cable: the “CCA” (aluminium coated with copper) resists current better than pure copper, wiring standards require copper and cable manufacturers advise against CCA for PoE. The shop’s listings do not specify conductor type: ask us to confirm it. Another in-stock option: the câble UTP Cat6A D-Link de 305 m at 35,000 DA HT. If the shop cuts cable by meter, at 34,500 ÷ 300 = 115 DA HT per metre, it costs 80 × 115 = 9,200 DA HT for 4 cameras and 160 × 115 = 18,400 DA HT for 8: the totals then drop by 34,500 − 9,200 = 25,300 DA HT and 34,500 − 18,400 = 16,100 DA HT.
- Fiches RJ45: a reel cable does not include them, they are counted separately. The Newtech cable is shielded (FTP): use RJ45 FTP connectors. The price of 60 DA HT is assumed per unit; if it were a lot, the line would be lower, and the difference would remain small relative to the total.
Comparison with coaxial HDCVI
| In DA HT | 4 cameras | 8 cameras |
|---|---|---|
| Total IP PoE | 187 980 | 261 960 |
| Total coaxial HDCVI | 101 720 | 176 840 |
| Difference | 187 980 − 101 720 = 86 260 | 261 960 − 176 840 = 85 120 |
Difference per post (IP − coaxial):
- 4 cameras: cameras 48,000 − 26,000 = +22,000; recorder 48,000 − 18,800 = +29,200; switch versus power block 15,000 − 3,200 = +11,800; cable and connectors (34,500 + 480) − (11,000 + 720) = +23,260. Sum: 22,000 + 29,200 + 11,800 + 23,260 = 86,260.
- 8 cameras: 96,000 − 52,000 = +44,000; 48,000 − 28,000 = +20,000; 15,000 − 5,900 = +9,100; (34,500 + 960) − (22,000 + 1,440) = +12,020. Sum: 44,000 + 20,000 + 9,100 + 12,020 = 85,120.
With 4 cameras, the 8‑channel NVR weighs 29,200 of the 86,260 DA HT difference, because the coaxial XVR has only 4 channels, and the cable reel weighs 23,260 DA HT, because we pay for 300 m to use only 80. Imou and Dahua cameras are from different ranges: read the difference as an order of magnitude. See also IP or analog camera.
What the price does not include
- UPS : from 10,500 DA HT for the EAST UPS EA265 Pro 650 VA, in stock. Calculation: UPS for cameras.
- Remote access: see remote access to cameras. Regulation forbids internet connection of CCTV systems in public structures and those whose cameras film open public space (executive decree No 09‑410 amended by decree No 16‑61, art. 20 bis); verify your situation before opening remote access.
- Travel: from 1,500 to 18,000 DA excl. VAT, median 4,500, for the “Travel and intervention” line in our quotes (27 orders, order of magnitude observed on our quotes).
- Screen and work : on quote.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an additional IP camera cost?
The NVR and the switch have 8 channels and 8 ports. One more camera, up to 8, costs 12,000 + 2 × 60 + 3,500 = 15,620 DA HT: the cable is already in the reel, which suffices for 300 ÷ 20 = 15 cameras. From 4 to 8 cameras: 4 × 15,620 = 62,480, plus the 6‑TB disk (39,500 − 28,000 = 11,500). Total: 187,980 + 62,480 + 11,500 = 261,960 DA HT, i.e. the total for 8 cameras.
How to reduce the budget for 4 cameras?
The Genata PoE 4‑port switch costs 9,500 DA HT: 15,000 − 9,500 = 5,500 DA HT savings, so 187,980 − 5,500 = 182,480 DA HT. Its PoE budget of 65 W gives 65 ÷ 4 = 16.25 W per camera, far above the less than 5 W of the 2‑MP cameras mentioned earlier. Its PoE ports are 10/100 Mb/s (designation “megabit”), which suffices for 2‑MP cameras of a few Mb/s each.
And with 4‑MP cameras?
The Dahua 4‑MP dome IP IPC-HDW4431EM-AS costs 21,000 DA HT, in stock: 4 × 21,000 − 48,000 = 36,000 DA HT more for 4 cameras, with a larger disk (recording duration).
