How Much Does CCTV Installation Cost in Nigeria in 2026?

The number of cameras is only the beginning. Cabling, recorder, storage, mounting and the building itself all affect the final CCTV bill.

A CCTV quotation should tell you more than a number per camera. The recorder, hard drive, cable, power supply, mounting, configuration and remote viewing setup can all change the final cost.

There is no single official Nigerian price list for this service. The figures below are planning ranges compiled from 2026 Nigerian market and labour-cost references. They are not Worker.NG prices, and a real quote can be higher or lower after the job is inspected.

At a glance: what you might pay

Job or service	2026 planning range	What can change it
Site assessment	₦5,000–₦20,000	May be included in an installation quote
Basic installation labour	₦20,000–₦60,000+	Camera count and cable runs matter
4-camera setup	₦120,000–₦300,000+	Equipment specification changes the total
8-camera setup	₦220,000–₦500,000+	Storage, cable length and access matter
Large/commercial system	Quote required	Usually needs a site survey

The camera count is not the whole budget

A four-camera system can be cheap or expensive depending on resolution, night vision, recorder, storage, cable length and whether the cameras are installed high above difficult surfaces.

Ask what happens after installation

Find out if configuration, mobile viewing, password setup, testing and a basic handover are included. Also ask who owns the login credentials.

When a site visit is worth paying for

For homes with straightforward cable routes, photos may be enough for an initial discussion. Offices, compounds and larger properties usually benefit from a proper site assessment.

How location affects the price

Prices can differ between Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano and smaller cities. Even within one city, travel distance, neighbourhood, access and the type of property can affect what a professional charges. Treat city-level ranges as a guide, not a tariff.

Before you agree to the job

1. Ask exactly what the quote covers.
2. Separate labour from materials where practical.
3. Confirm the measurements, quantities or number of service points.
4. Ask about additional charges before work begins.
5. For non-emergency work, compare at least two like-for-like quotes.
6. Agree on what happens if the scope changes after work starts.

Quotes may cover different things. Compare labour, materials, transport, preparation, equipment and the actual work included before deciding that one professional is expensive.

Should I choose the cheapest quote?

Not automatically. A useful quote is clear about the work and the items included. For non-emergency jobs, compare like-for-like quotes and ask questions before agreeing.
