CCTV Installation Quote Template
A structure for quoting domestic and small-commercial CCTV installations — cameras, recording, and ongoing monitoring as a clearly separated optional extra.
What this quote looks like
CCTV Installation Quote Template
Prepared for: Mr & Mrs Kaur
Site survey & system design
Walk-through, coverage plan, and cable-run assessment before any hardware is ordered.
Camera supply & installation
Per-camera cost for a 4K weatherproof camera, mounting, and cable run to the recorder.
Recorder & storage setup
NVR/DVR configuration, local storage, and initial network setup for remote viewing.
Illustrative example prices — adjust to your own rates and region.
Why this structure
Keep the site survey as its own line item — it's real work, and separating it avoids a customer assuming design is free. Price cameras per-unit so the total scales honestly with coverage, rather than bundling an arbitrary 'package' price.
Commonly forgotten
- • Cable containment/trunking where cameras aren't near existing conduit
- • Data/SIM cost for 4G-connected recorders with no local network
- • Council/landlord permission for external-facing cameras, where relevant
Good optional extras
- • Cloud backup (in addition to local storage)
- • 24/7 monitoring service
- • Annual maintenance visit
Terms to get right
State clearly whether the quote includes VAT, and what happens if a site survey reveals additional cable runs are needed — a common source of disputed final invoices.
FAQ
Should I quote per-camera or as one system price?
Per-camera is more transparent for the customer and easier for you to adjust if they add or remove cameras during the conversation.
Do I need to separate monitoring from installation?
Yes — monitoring is an ongoing service with a different cost structure (monthly) from installation (one-off), and mixing them makes the quote harder to compare against competitors.
