CONSIDERATION ON THE COST OF CCTV INSTALLATION IN ELDORET

When determining the cost of CCTV installation in Kenya, there are several key factors to consider. Here are 10 main considerations to keep in mind before starting any CCTV installation project.

1. NUMBER OF CAMERAS TO BE INSTALLED

Depending on the size of your facility, you may require from a few to many CCTV cameras, this will be dictated mainly by the extent of the areas that you want to monitor.

In order to have a rough estimate of the number of CCTV cameras required, you should ask yourself this 3 questions.

a) Important place to cover

The most crucial areas in your home or business are those that hold any significance to you. In a household, the most valuable assets are your family and belongings. To protect them, you should prioritize securing the compound, main entrance, and the perimeter fence. CCTV cameras should be installed in all areas that contain valuable items that could be targeted by intruders. The goal is to quickly detect and respond to any attempts of unauthorized access to your property. To ensure maximum security, it’s crucial to cover all parts of your property.

COMPOUND

The compound encompasses not only the exterior of your home, but also areas such as outer parking spaces, storage areas for valuable items such as bicycles and tools, and even the swimming pool area. These areas should be taken into consideration when securing your property.

ENTRANCE AREAS

Installing CCTV cameras at all entry points is crucial. These entry points encompass all areas that can be used to gain access to your home, including the main gate, front door, back door, vulnerable windows, and even the perimeter wall.

INSIDE ROOMS

Internal rooms, such as the baby’s room, living room, garage, and kitchen, are often overlooked but are still essential in terms of the overall security of your family.

B)AREAS TO BE OMITTED

Areas that can be omitted:

• Side walls of the house (if the perimeter walls and compound are covered by CCTV cameras)
• Upper windows and doors (also difficult to access without passing through the perimeter wall)
• Private rooms such as toilets and bathrooms
• Interior rooms (some people consider them private and choose not to install CCTV cameras)

2.DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO EXPAND YOUR HOME OR ADD MORE CAMERAS IN THE FUTURE?

• Considerations for expanding or adding more rooms:
  • Flexible CCTV system that allows for addition of cameras
• Examples:
  • Construction of new garage or tools shed that might obstruct existing CCTV cameras
  • Expansion of a business by adding a new room or office
  • Increase in shelves in a warehouse, requiring additional cameras for full coverage

3.COST OF CCTV INSTALLATION FOR WIRED OR WIRELESS KIT/TYPE OF CCTV SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED.

The choice between a wired or wireless CCTV system depends on various factors. Wireless systems offer convenience and versatility, while wired systems provide a more permanent solution with low maintenance costs. Wired systems have a lower cost for the parts but a higher cost for installation, typically ranging from Ksh 1500 to Ksh 3500 per camera. On the other hand, wireless cameras are more expensive to purchase but easier and cheaper to install, making them a good choice for indoor cameras or small surveillance setups. Although wired cameras are less expensive to buy, they have a higher installation cost. However, the maintenance of a wired system is minimal and usually requires little or no attention.

4.THE BUDGET AVAILABLE.

When working with a budget constraint, it’s important to find a CCTV system that both fits within your budget and effectively meets your needs. Conducting market research can help you find the best offers available.

In Kenya, it’s possible to obtain a high-quality CCTV camera for as low as Ksh 3,500, which can be readily used after purchase.

5. REMOTE MONITORING ABILITY.

Nowadays, many CCTV systems can be accessed remotely via a smartphone or computer. To do this, the system must be connected to the internet. There are several options for connecting to the internet, including Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet. In Kenya, a popular option is the Sambaza internet connection, which is typically priced at around Shillings 2,000 per month for a speed of 5-10 Mbps, depending on the location. However, it’s worth noting that this service may not be available in more remote areas.

In such cases, you may consider alternative internet connections such as Wi-Max or wireless broadband, which can be provided by local operators such as Safaricom, Airtel, and Telcom. However, setting up a Wi-Max connection can be costly in terms of both equipment and monthly billing. Another option is using a 4G Wi-Fi router, which offers good internet speeds and reliability, and is a good choice if you don’t want to go through the hassle of setting up Wi-Max or if you don’t have enough funds available.

We also provide our own internet as Eldonet at only ksh 2500 per month which will allow you to access the system remotely

6.Where the cameras will be installed

7.SIZE  OF THE PREMISE

The size of a premises can directly affect the cost of a CCTV installation. The bigger the premises, the more the number of cameras that will be required to cover the whole area effectively.
Also, very big areas also require different installation approach for example a big area can be subdivided into zones, which are more realistic and easier to monitor. Each of this zones will be treated as an independent installation. Finally all the different zones will be interconnected to a central command center where all the monitoring and data storage will take place.

8. INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL CCTV

Depending on the requirements you may opt for either internal or external cameras.

The major difference between the two is that Indoor cameras don’t have the protection against the elements like rain sun and dust.
On the other hand, External cameras are built to withstand the weather elements.

The price range for the ordinary wired CCTV cameras don’t vary much for both indoor and outdoor cameras.
