CCTV Installation Kit – 4 Cameras
UGX1,800,000
Description
A CCTV Installation Package (4-Camera) is the standard entry-level surveillance solution for homes, small retail shops, or modest office spaces in Tanzania. This package provides four high-definition cameras, strategically placed to cover critical areas such as the main gate, parking, front entrance, and a key internal area (like a cash counter). The price is typically quoted as a turnkey solution, meaning it includes all the necessary hardware, cables, and the professional labor for installation and system setup.
Estimated Price Range (Turnkey Package)
The cost of the package varies based on the camera resolution (2MP/1080p vs. 5MP), the brand (Hikvision, Dahua being common), and the capacity of the hard drive for video storage. The estimated price for a standard, reliable 4-camera system installed in the Kampala area is:
- Estimated Price (Standard 2MP HD System, fully installed): UGX 1,250,000 – UGX 1,850,000
Packages below this price often exclude the necessary hard drive (a major component cost) or use older, lower-resolution cameras. A 5MP system with better low-light performance will typically push the cost closer to UGX 2,000,000.
Components Included in the Package
The turnkey price includes all the hardware and services required for a functional security system:
- 4 HD Cameras: Usually a mix of durable, weather-resistant bullet (for outdoor coverage) and dome (for indoor/under eaves) cameras, providing at least 1080p (2 Megapixel) resolution and night vision capability.
- 1 DVR/NVR Unit: A 4-channel Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or Network Video Recorder (NVR), which manages and compresses the video signals.
- Hard Drive (HDD): A specialized Surveillance HDD (typically 500GB to 1TB capacity) installed in the DVR for storing footage. This is essential, as some cheap packages exclude this.
- Cabling and Connectors: Coaxial or CAT6 cable (often up to 80-100 meters), BNC/DC connectors, and power supply unit for the cameras.
- Professional Installation: The labor for running the cables, mounting the cameras, configuring the DVR, and setting up remote viewing (via a smartphone app).
Key Security Benefits
The UGX 1,250,000 – UGX 1,850,000 investment provides essential security benefits:
- Deterrence: The visible presence of cameras is a significant deterrent to potential intruders.
- Evidence: Provides clear, date-stamped video evidence in the event of theft, vandalism, or unauthorized access.
- Remote Monitoring: Allows the owner to view the live feed and recorded footage from anywhere in the world via a smartphone, provided the DVR is connected to the internet.
- Peace of Mind: Provides continuous 24/7 surveillance of the most vulnerable points of the property.
The 4-Camera CCTV Installation Package offers a fundamental and highly effective step toward securing residential or commercial property in Tanzania for a single, all-inclusive price.
