Everything About CCTV Installation
in Bangalore — Answered

For a typical 2–3 BHK flat or house in Bangalore, 4 cameras are ideal — 1 at the main entrance, 1 at the back door, 1 covering the parking/garage, and 1 for the living area or staircase. Larger villas may need 6–8 cameras. Our installers do a free site visit to recommend the exact count.

While not legally mandatory, CCTV is strongly recommended for apartments and gated communities. Most housing societies in Bangalore install cameras at entry/exit gates, common areas, lifts and parking for resident safety.

Indoor CCTV cameras in private areas like bedrooms are not recommended for privacy reasons. Cameras are typically installed at entry points, living areas, and parking — never in bedrooms or bathrooms.

A standard 4-camera setup takes 3–5 hours. Larger setups with 8–16 cameras for offices or apartments may take a full day. Most companies on ProForYou offer same-day installation if you book before noon.

CCTV installation in Bangalore typically costs ₹3,500–₹6,000 per camera including labour. A complete 4-camera HD system with DVR starts from ₹14,000–₹22,000. Prices vary by camera type and brand. See our full pricing guide →

AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is a yearly service agreement where the installer provides regular maintenance, repairs, and technical support for a fixed annual fee.
