How Much Does CCTV Installation Cost in Singapore? (2026 Guide)
r
The quick answer
Most CCTV installation projects in Singapore cost between S$800 and S$2,500 for a typical 4–8 camera system for a home, office or shop. Larger commercial and warehouse projects with 10 or more cameras usually run S$3,000 to S$10,000+, depending on site complexity.
But "it depends" isn't a helpful answer — so here's the actual breakdown.
CCTV price guide by project type (2026 market rates)
| Project type | Cameras | Typical price (before GST) |
|---|---|---|
| Home / HDB / condo | 1–4 | S$550 – S$1,200 |
| Small office or retail shop | 4–8 | S$800 – S$2,500 |
| Warehouse / factory | 10–20 | S$3,000 – S$10,000+ |
| Enterprise with video analytics | 16+ | S$4,000 – S$9,000+ |
Indicative market ranges — your final quote depends on the factors below.
What actually drives the price
1. Number of cameras — the biggest factor, but price per camera drops as the system grows (cabling runs and recorder setup are shared).
2. Camera type and resolution — a standard 2MP dome costs far less than a 4K or PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera. Today most businesses choose 4MP IP cameras as the sweet spot between price and image quality.
3. Cabling and site access — a single-storey office with ceiling access is easy. A multi-floor unit, lift core, or hard-to-reach ceiling adds labour time. Concealed cabling costs more than surface-mounted trunking — but looks much neater.
4. Storage — how many days of footage do you need to keep? A basic 1TB drive covers roughly 2–4 weeks on a 4-camera system. Needing 30–90 days of retention means bigger drives or cloud storage (typically S$10–S$30 per camera monthly).
5. Features — remote viewing on your phone is standard these now. AI features like facial recognition, licence plate detection and motion analytics add cost — but they're also what turns a passive recorder into a system that actually protects your business.
6. Maintenance — budget a small amount yearly for health checks and repairs (service visits from about S$50). A system nobody maintains is one that fails the day you need it.
Why the cheapest quote is usually a mistake
We've been called to too many sites where a "cheap" installation meant:
- Cameras pointed at blank walls instead of entrances
- Cables stapled along floors
- No recording retention after 5 days
- No phone support after installation
A professional installation isn't just mounting boxes — it's camera placement, cable routing, retention planning and training your staff to retrieve footage when it matters.

FAQ
How much does it cost per camera in Singapore? For a standard office installation, budget roughly S$100–S$300 per camera installed for everyday dome and bullet cameras. Advanced 4K, PTZ or AI cameras cost more.
How long does a typical installation take? A 4-camera office system is usually done within a day. Multi-floor or 10+ camera projects take one to three days.
Do I need permission to install CCTV in an HDB corridor? Cameras inside your own flat are your choice. A camera facing the common corridor is different — it's common property, so you generally need permission from HDB and your Town Council first.
Should I choose wired or IP cameras? Modern IP cameras on structured cabling are the standard for businesses — more reliable than wireless, better image quality, and they integrate with your existing network.
