Priscom Computers supplies and installs CCTV systems in Nairobi for homes, shops, offices and multi-site businesses. Cost depends entirely on your specifications (camera count, resolution, storage and so on) and is quoted per job. Every install is covered by the applicable manufacturer/supplier warranty on the equipment (no universal period) and a 30-day workmanship guarantee on the installation.
What's included in an installation
We supply CCTV equipment according to the requirements and quotation for each installation. Depending on your specification, a Priscom installation can include:
- Cameras: sized and specified to your site and requirements
- Recorder: a DVR or NVR sized to the camera count
- Storage: a surveillance-grade hard drive sized to your recording needs
- Cabling and mounting
- Power, and a backup option where requested
- Setup: recorder configuration, motion-detection zones, and remote viewing on your phone or computer
- Handover: a walkthrough of the system and how to review and export footage
Typical installation sizes
Priscom does not publish a fixed CCTV package price list; every install is quoted individually based on camera count, resolution, storage and site conditions. As a guide to what's typically involved:
| Typical setup | Usually includes |
|---|---|
| 2-camera | 2 cameras, DVR/NVR, storage, cabling, install |
| 4-camera | 4 cameras, recorder, storage, cabling, install |
| 8-camera | 8 cameras, recorder, storage, cabling, install |
| 16-camera | 16 cameras, recorder, storage, cabling, install |
| IP / network-camera systems | PoE cameras, NVR, structured cabling |
Every one of these is quoted per job; the table is not a price list.
What determines the price
CCTV installation cost in Nairobi is driven by:
- Number of cameras: the largest single factor.
- Camera resolution and type: 2MP is cheapest; 5MP, 4K, colour-at-night and PTZ cameras cost more.
- Analogue vs IP: IP (network) cameras and NVRs cost more than analogue DVR systems but scale better and give sharper footage.
- Cable runs and site conditions: long runs, multiple buildings, concrete walls, and conduit/trunking add labour and materials.
- Storage: more recording days, or continuous (not motion-only) recording, needs a larger hard drive.
- Backup power: a UPS to keep the system recording during a power cut is an add-on.
Corporate and multi-site installations
Priscom supplies and installs CCTV for companies, retail chains, schools, NGOs and government offices, including multi-site rollouts with centralised viewing. This can be supplied on LPO and combined with the rest of your IT procurement; see Corporate IT Supply.
What to check before you buy any CCTV system
- Get the spec in writing: camera count, resolution, recorder model, hard-drive size and recording days.
- Confirm what's included before the quotation is accepted: camera count, resolution, recorder model, hard-drive size.
- Confirm remote viewing is set up and works on your phone before the installer leaves.
- Get the warranty in writing: on both the equipment and the installation labour.
- Check the cameras cover what matters: entrances, tills, gates, not just open space.
- Ask about after-sales: who you call if a camera fails.
Warranty and support
Priscom covers every installation equipment item with the manufacturer/supplier warranty applicable to that device (no single universal period), and gives a 30-day workmanship guarantee on the installation itself. Full terms are on the Warranty Policy page.
