The number of cameras is only the beginning. Cabling, recorder, storage, mounting and the building itself all affect the final CCTV bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The camera count is not the whole budget<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Ask what happens after installation<\/h2>\n

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

When a site visit is worth paying for<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

How location affects the price<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Before you agree to the job<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Ask exactly what the quote covers.<\/li>\n
  2. Separate labour from materials where practical.<\/li>\n
  3. Confirm the measurements, quantities or number of service points.<\/li>\n
  4. Ask about additional charges before work begins.<\/li>\n
  5. For non-emergency work, compare at least two like-for-like quotes.<\/li>\n
  6. Agree on what happens if the scope changes after work starts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
