A 3-camera home CCTV system in Leicester starts at around £950 for hardware including cameras, NVR, and hard drive. A 5-camera system is around £1,900, and a 10-camera system is around £3,520. All prices include VAT. Installation is quoted separately after a free site survey because it depends on cable routing and property layout. There are no monthly fees.
The hardware cost covers everything needed for the system to work. Doberman supplies PoE cameras, a network video recorder, a surveillance-grade hard drive, and any PoE switches or patch panels required. You own all of it outright.
Installation cost varies because every property is different. A detached house with easy loft access and short cable runs costs less to install than a three-storey townhouse with solid walls and long external runs. The site survey lets us give you an accurate fixed quote rather than a vague estimate.
There are no ongoing costs after installation. No subscriptions, no cloud storage fees, no app charges. The system records to the local NVR and remote viewing works through the UniFi Protect app at no extra cost. The total cost is what you pay on the day - nothing after that.
When comparing quotes from different installers, check what is included. Some advertise low headline prices but use wireless cameras, charge for app access, or quote without cabling. A Doberman quote covers the full system: hardware, cabling, installation, configuration, app setup, and night-time commissioning.
