What affects the cost?
- Wired vs. wireless — wired (PoE/coax) costs more upfront but is more reliable; wireless saves on installation but needs battery/charging
- Number of cameras — bulk installation reduces per-camera labor cost
- Night vision type — color night vision (with spotlight) costs more than IR
- Mounting difficulty — high eaves, stone/brick walls, and long cable runs add cost
