CCTV cameras in Pakistan: prices, warranty and installation
A single WiFi or indoor CCTV camera in Pakistan starts at approximately Rs 3,000–8,000, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. A professionally installed package with several cameras costs more, and the total depends on the number of cameras, the site and the installation work. The quickest way to get current prices for your building is a request on BlaBlaPrice.
Prices are quoted per camera or per installed package, depending on the seller. These factors change the total:
- Number of cameras and the type of site: home, shop, office or warehouse.
- Camera type and resolution: indoor WiFi units or full HD cameras.
- Recorder and storage, and whether recording runs all the time.
- Installation at your address, including cable runs and mounting height.
- Make and model, and the warranty that comes with the package.
Warranty and what to check
Ask what the warranty covers before you pay. Some packages carry an official one-year brand warranty, but burn, break and surge damage is often excluded, so get the exclusions in writing. The Sale of Goods Act, 1930 sets out remedies for breach of warranty, and product warranty guidance in Pakistan says that a seller or manufacturer must repair, replace or refund a product that is defective within its warranty period. Keep the invoice and the warranty card.
Government advice on safe use
The government's CCTV Camera Safe Usage Guidelines, Advisory No. 66, set cyber security practices for administrators and end users, including avoiding unnecessary remote viewing. Government bodies buy CCTV through published e-bidding documents with detailed specifications. If you buy for an office or a public site, ask the installer to follow the same specifications in writing.
Season and installation in Pakistan
Pakistan has a desert climate, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. Installers work more comfortably on ladders and roofs in the mild months, and cable runs and mounts are easier to finish before the summer heat. For outdoor cameras installed in summer, ask whether the housing is rated for high temperatures.
Cities, distances and units
Ask for installation in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Faisalabad, and say which city the site is in. Measure the cable run and the mounting height in metres before you ask for a quote, because distance affects the labour. Resolution is quoted in pixels, and recording time in days, so state how many days of footage you need to keep.
What to write in your request
List the site type, the number of cameras, the camera type and resolution, whether you need recording and for how many days, the site address, the make and model if you have chosen one, and your budget in rupees. Say whether installation should be included, so that sellers quote the whole package rather than the camera alone.
BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the site in your own words in a chat and add a photo if it helps.
