The question everyone asks first: "How much will it cost?"
Whether you're securing a home, shop, school, or farm in Nakuru, the first question is always about price. But the truth is, there's no single number. A 4-camera home system costs less than an 8-camera shop system, and a 16-camera warehouse setup costs more again.
This guide gives you real, honest pricing for 4, 8, and 16-camera systems in Nakuru — based on what we actually install every week. No inflated quotes, no bait-and-switch. You'll see exactly what you get at each price point, what drives the cost up or down, and what hidden costs to watch out for.
If you're still deciding how many cameras you actually need, start with our guide on how to choose the right number of cameras.

What Affects the Total Price
Hidden Costs to Watch Out For
If someone quotes you much less than our prices, be suspicious. Here's what often gets added later — see our full breakdown of hidden costs of CCTV installation:
Extra Cable Charges
Some installers quote a base price then charge per metre beyond a small allowance. Long cable runs on large compounds can quickly add KSh 5,000–20,000.
Hard Drive Not Included
Without a hard drive, your DVR/NVR can't record. Some cheap quotes leave this out and add it later. Always confirm storage is included.
Remote Viewing Setup Fee
Setting up the mobile app should be free. Some installers charge KSh 5,000–10,000 for this basic service.
Counterfeit Cameras
A low quote often means fake "Hikvision" or "Dahua" cameras. These fail within months and have no warranty. Learn how to spot the difference in our best CCTV brands guide.
Standard vs High Quality: Which Should You Choose?
The difference between our Standard and High Quality packages is mainly the camera resolution and night vision technology:
| Feature | Standard (2MP) | High Quality (4MP ColorVu) |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 1920 × 1080 | 2560 × 1440 |
| Night Vision | Infrared (black & white) | Full colour at night |
| Storage Usage | Moderate | ~2x more |
| Price Difference | Lower | +KSh 10k – 30k |
| Best For | Budget-conscious homes | Businesses, farms, high-detail areas |
