How much does CCTV installation actually cost in Edmonton? How many cameras do you need? IP or analog? This guide covers everything Alberta homeowners and businesses should know before buying a security camera system — plus how Unified Technology can install it right the first time.
Most Edmonton homeowners and business owners are surprised by how wide the price range is for CCTV systems — and how much that range depends on camera count, quality, storage, and whether existing cabling or network infrastructure can be reused.
This guide breaks down real cost ranges, camera types, and placement strategy — the same questions Unified Technology walks every Edmonton client through before we design a system.
Six key questions to answer before you buy — or before you call an installer.
The honest answer: cost varies significantly based on camera count, quality, storage needs, and existing cabling.
More isn't always better — coverage strategy matters more than camera count.
IP (network) cameras offer higher resolution and smarter features. Analog can still make sense for simple, budget-conscious setups.
The right camera depends on the location, lighting, and what you're actually trying to see.
Placement determines whether footage is actually useful when you need it.
Beyond the camera itself, a few details separate a reliable system from a frustrating one.
Here's what makes Unified Technology the right call for a system that actually works when you need it.
Cold-rated hardware and wiring practices suited to Edmonton winters — not systems designed for a milder climate.
We recommend the system that fits your property and budget — not the most expensive option on the shelf.
Every IP install comes with mobile app setup — live viewing, motion alerts, and playback from anywhere.
We don't disappear once the cameras are mounted — ongoing support keeps your system running as it should.

Every property type has different coverage priorities — we design around yours.
Entry points, driveways & backyard coverage
Lobbies, hallways & parking areas
Checkout & loss-prevention coverage
Perimeter & loading dock monitoring
Equipment & material theft prevention
License plate & vehicle coverage
Common areas & building entrances
Long-range perimeter coverage
From first call to a fully working system — most residential installs complete in a single visit.
We review your property, identify coverage priorities, and blind spots — in person or remotely.
We recommend camera count, type, and placement matched to your property and budget.
Our technicians mount, wire, and configure the system — tested before we leave.
We walk you through the mobile app and recording setup, with ongoing support after install.
Everything you'd want to know before buying a security camera system.
Costs vary based on camera count, quality, and storage needs. A basic 4-camera system typically runs $1,800–$3,500 installed, while larger commercial IP systems can range from $12,000–$25,000 or more.
It depends on your property's layout and entry points more than square footage. A free site assessment identifies the specific areas that need coverage, rather than guessing at a camera count.
IP cameras offer higher resolution, remote access, and smarter detection features, and are the standard for most new commercial installs. Analog can still make sense for simple, budget-conscious setups.
Yes. All IP camera systems we install include mobile app setup for live viewing, motion alerts, and remote playback on iOS and Android, configured through your property's internet connection.
Often, yes — many Alberta commercial insurers offer reduced premiums for businesses with monitored security systems, though the discount varies by insurer. Ask your broker, and we can provide written confirmation of your installation.
Both, depending on your property. Wired systems are more reliable for older buildings with thick walls or acreages where wireless signal is inconsistent — we'll recommend what actually fits your site.
