CCTV Camera Price in Pakistan 2026: Complete Buyer's Guide

Quick answer: In 2026, a single WiFi or indoor CCTV camera in Pakistan starts around Rs 3,000 to 8,000. A good 4MP WiFi outdoor camera with night vision runs Rs 7,500 to 15,000, while solar or 4G cameras sit at Rs 25,000 to 45,000. A professionally installed 4-camera HD package for a home costs roughly Rs 45,000 to 90,000, and an 8-camera IP system for a business runs Rs 150,000 to 300,000. The final price depends on resolution, camera type, brand and installation.

If you have searched for CCTV camera prices in Pakistan, you have probably seen quotes that swing wildly, from a few thousand rupees for one camera to several lakhs for a full setup. That gap is not random. It comes down to camera type, resolution, brand authenticity, storage, and how many areas you actually need to cover.

Types of camera, and who each suits

WiFi cameras are the most popular choice in Pakistani homes and small shops. They connect to your router with no long cables, install in minutes, and stream to your phone from anywhere. Most add two-way audio, motion alerts and app playback. See WiFi security cameras.

IP wired cameras connect over network cable and are the reliable choice for offices and businesses needing continuous 24/7 recording without depending on WiFi signal. They feed into an NVR for local storage. Pair them with a proper network or server rack for a tidy install.

PTZ cameras pan, tilt and zoom, and many auto-track movement, so one unit covers an area that would otherwise need several fixed cameras. They cost more because of the motorised mechanism, but for a wide yard or warehouse they often work out cheaper than four fixed cameras.

Solar and 4G SIM cameras need no mains power and no WiFi. They run on a solar panel and send footage over a mobile SIM, which suits farms, under-construction plots and remote sites where wiring is not practical.

What actually affects the price

Resolution. Higher megapixels mean clearer footage and a higher price. A 4MP camera captures roughly twice the detail of a standard 2MP camera, which matters when you need to read a number plate or recognise a face. 4K cameras, once reserved for banks, are now affordable for homes and shops.

Brand and authenticity. Trusted brands such as Imou, Hikvision, Dahua and EZVIZ cost more than unbranded units, but cheap unbranded cameras often fail within months. A genuine entry-level camera is better long-term value. Buy from a trusted supplier to avoid fake or refurbished stock.

Storage and recorder. The camera is only part of the cost. A hard drive, NVR or DVR, and any cloud subscription add to the total. Buyers often forget these when comparing quotes.

Night vision and features. Colour night vision, AI human detection and active deterrence (siren and spotlight) push the price up, but they cut false alerts and make footage far more useful after dark.

Installation costs

Professional installation typically adds Rs 1,000 to 2,500 per camera, depending on cabling distance and mounting difficulty. WiFi cameras are cheaper to install because there is little or no wiring, and many homeowners set them up themselves. Wired IP systems cost more but are more reliable for large or permanent setups.

When comparing quotes, always check whether installation, cabling and the recorder are included or priced separately.

How many cameras do you actually need?

This is the question we get asked most, and the honest answer is fewer than most people assume. A single-entrance home or small shop is usually well covered by one or two cameras aimed at the main door and the till or driveway. A pan-and-tilt indoor camera can cover a surprising amount of a room on its own.

Larger properties need a camera count based on sightlines, not a round number pulled from a package deal. Walk your property and mark every entry point, blind corner and cash-handling area. That list is your real camera count, and it is usually shorter than the 8 or 16-camera packages some sellers push regardless of property size.

Resolution, night vision and storage

Spec sheets throw a lot of numbers at you, but three actually affect what you see when it matters.

Resolution determines how usable footage is after the fact, not just how it looks live. 2MP is a practical minimum. 4K matters if you need to zoom in and still read a face or number plate.

Night vision range matters more than most buyers realise here, since a large share of theft happens after dark. Check the quoted infrared range against your actual distance to the gate, not just the spec on the box.

Storage is the part people forget until footage is gone. A camera with 64GB onboard covers several days on motion-triggered recording. For weeks of retention or multiple cameras, pair wired cameras with a dedicated DVR or NVR in a proper rack rather than relying on one camera's card.

Wholesale vs retail pricing

Buying from Saddar Regal is different from a general electronics shop: this is the wholesale market, not a retail add-on. Many online security-camera listings are retail shops buying from distributors here and adding a markup. That is not dishonest, but it does mean the same camera costs more once it has changed hands twice.

It also means we can be straightforward when a package looks too cheap to be real. An 8-camera kit priced at barely more than one decent camera is almost always analog cameras well below the advertised resolution, or a DVR with no real warranty behind it.

Pairing cameras with alarms and access control

A camera records what happened. It does not stop it happening. Most commercial customers pair CCTV with a burglar alarm system so there is an audible deterrent alongside the recording.

For properties that also control who gets in, access control and electronic locks pair naturally with a camera on the same entry point: you get both a log of who entered and a visual record. Plan cameras, alarms and access control together rather than bolting each on later, since much of the wiring and power overlaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest CCTV camera in Pakistan?

A basic indoor WiFi camera starts at around Rs 3,000 to 4,000 in 2026. Cheaper unbranded units exist, but they often fail quickly, so a genuine entry-level branded camera is better value.

How much does a full home setup cost?

A professionally installed 4-camera HD package for a typical home costs roughly Rs 45,000 to 90,000, including cameras, recorder, basic storage, cabling and installation.

Is WiFi or wired better?

WiFi is easier and cheaper to install and suits homes and small shops. Wired IP is more reliable for continuous 24/7 recording and suits offices, warehouses and larger properties.

Do I need an NVR or DVR?

Not always. Many WiFi cameras record to a MicroSD card and are managed from an app, so a single camera needs no separate recorder. Multi-camera wired systems use an NVR for IP or a DVR for analog.

Do you deliver across Pakistan?

Yes, nationwide, with free shipping on orders over Rs 5,000, plus walk-in service at the Karachi and Lahore stores.
