CCTV Installation Costs in Melbourne: What Businesses Should Expect

One of the most common questions Melbourne business owners ask is: 

“How much does CCTV installation cost?” 

Here’s a transparent breakdown. 

1. Average CCTV Pricing in Melbourne

Most commercial CCTV installations fall between:

• $1,800–$3,500 for small businesses (2–4 cameras)
• $4,000–$9,000 for medium premises (6–12 cameras)
• $10,000+ for warehouses or large commercial sites
  

2. What Affects The Cost?

• Number of cameras

More cameras = more equipment + installation labour.

• Camera type

PTZ and high-megapixel cameras cost more.

• Building layout

Ceiling height, cabling complexity and wall type all matter.

• Storage needs

NVR capacity influences price.

3. Why Cheap CCTV Ends Up Costing More
