Security system installation & repair

Security system installation and repair in the Philippines

Updated 4 November 2026

A mid-range home security system in the Philippines costs about ₱25,000 to ₱35,000, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. Prices are quoted per job, so the final figure depends on the site and the work, and the quickest way to a current price is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the price depends on

• The system type: CCTV cameras, an alarm, access control or a combination.
• The work needed: a new installation, a repair, or an upgrade of an existing system.
• The quantity of cameras, sensors and doors, and the cabling between them.
• The site: a house, a shop or an office, and how many floors it has.
• Whether the equipment is supplied by the installer or already owned by you.
• Whether a monitored alarm is included, and the distance from the installer's base to your address.

Licences and permits to check

Our search found a pre-licensing training programme for CCTV operators, with a fee of ₱6,000 per person, and a national law, Republic Act No. 11917, sets pre-licensing requirements for security professionals. If the job includes a monitored alarm, ask whether the company's staff have that training. Business permit fees run from ₱300 to ₱1,000, depending on the barangay, so ask the company to show its registration.

Season and weather

The climate is tropical, so the wet season makes outdoor work harder. Cable runs, drilling into masonry and fitting cameras on the outside wall take longer in rain and can be postponed. November is still in the wet season, so ask for an indoor-first plan or agree on a rain date in the quote. Dry days are easier for roof and gate work.

How the job is bought here

Installers usually quote after a visit to the site, and the quote should show the equipment and labour in pesos. Our search covered Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City and Makati. Ask whether the installer comes to your address from its own base in that city, because travel adds to the price, and ask for the length of cable and the number of devices the quote includes.

What to write in the request

Name the system you want (CCTV, alarm or access control), the work needed (new installation, repair or upgrade), the number of cameras, sensors or doors, and the site with its number of floors. Say whether you need the equipment supplied, whether you want monitoring, and the address or district. Add your budget so the offers can be compared.

Offers arrive in a chat on BlaBlaPrice. Registered sellers receive the request and reply with their own price, terms and the work their quote includes, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them. You can also invite an installer you already know by sending them the request link. For related work see electrical installation and construction services, or create a request on the home page.
