Just had a quote for 2x camera install, front and rear of house.
2.4MP HD bullet cameras feeding a 1Tb DVR.
Access via phones, tablets etc.
£580 all in.
Buy or run?
Ta.
A days labour plus parts seems reasonable to me without knowing all the details.
I would charge more...
Far too cheap if my recent quotes are anything to go by. £1500 - £2k were my range of quotes (admittedly for three cameras).
For the price you've been quoted I'd be expecting a cloud based wireless system with no DVR.
When the likes of Samsung Techwin do a four digital camera HD system with 1TB and App/web Access for £300 (2 cameras is £220’ish) it seems expensive tbh.
Do it yourself, it’s very simple stuff

So £360 for a days labour? Seems about right.
I’m sure someone will be along in a min to say they could fit it before breakfast, whilst wearing their pyjamas and slippers though.
They’ve been and priced it, will fit it and warranty it. £580 ain’t bad. (If material is £220)

Thst seems very expensive for something that you can do with a couple of old phones and a minimal monthly fee.
£170 for a 4 camera kit from Aldi this week.
Anyone got a raspberry pi camera kit and doing it themselves? It’s what I’m thinking of...
My brother bought 3 Sannce cams for about 30 quid. Saves to micro sd, has an app on his phone which alarms when movement starts the camera up. Seems nuts to pay out over £500 when the tech is available so cheap.
After being burgled last month have just fitted one of these
Saves to micro Sd (I've set it to 3 mins of recording after triggering)
I get an alarm to my phone, when it's triggered, night vision is impressive too.

Install was the cost of a long drill bit, about 60cm of coving & a few wobbly moments at the top of the step ladder
