Total Security receives a lot of questions from customers and the most frequently asked question is about the cost of security cameras for homeowners. As security systems are becoming more common in homes companies are trying to work harder to offer competitive pricing for customers.

Q: How Do I Know How Much My New York Security System Will Cost Me?

A: There is no set price for a security camera system. Any company that tells you otherwise may not have your best interest at heart. There are many factors that have an effect on the price of a surveillance camera system:

First the price is built on the number of cameras you need. The more security cameras you purchase the more you are going to pay. Of course a three camera system is going to cost less than a 10 camera system but it also depends on the type of cameras you are looking to purchase.

Next, video surveillance cameras come in all shapes, sizes and are made for different areas. There are IP cameras, analog cameras, and wireless cameras, just to name a few. Within these categories there are both indoor and outdoor security cameras. These different cameras serve unique purposes and all vary in price.

After you narrow down the amount and types of cameras you want it is time to focus on the installation portion of the service. How the wires need to be run will directly affect the cost of installing a security camera system in New York. Specific sidings on a house will be easier to work with than others.

After factoring in the cameras and installation please keep in mind that other benefits are considered to be determining factors of cost. For example, warranty and technical support are two major features every customer should look for when purchasing a security system. It is important to have warranty and reliable tech support so that if a problem occurs with your security system you know that you can rely on the company to fix whatever problem you may be having.

Overall, with security systems the old saying holds true: “you get what you pay for.” In fact, many retailers now offer security systems packaged up in a box at a very low cost however these cameras can end up becoming more of a headache than a help to you. If you are investing the money you should be letting the camera system do all of the work for you. The best way to find out an exact price is to speak with a security camera professional and set up and free estimate. This is the best option because it is a free, non-commitment estimate that allows an industry professional to assess your needs and tell you exactly what work will be done and how.
