How security installers usually price
Installers price per device installed, with the recorder, cable runs and setup on their own lines, and sell a yearly check or monitoring as a plan.
Our guide on pricing security and low voltage work walks through it step by step, from your labor rate to the price on the estimate.
Where the ranges come from
6 of the 11 services carry a range. Each one comes from a koira.ai calculator that lists the cost guides behind it and the date they were checked: security camera installation cost calculator. They are national figures; the calculators scale the labor share to your state's wages when you enter a ZIP.
Lines marked "Set your own" have no range we could source well enough to publish. Price them from your own hours and parts.
What it takes to deliver this menu

The full tools list adds the pro kit and van stock, with maker prices where we could check them.
