CCTV

Wired CCTV or WiFi cameras for an Oshawa property?

Oshawa has many post-war and 1970s homes with finished basements and attics where wired PoE (CCTV) IP cameras can be routed cleanly and record without depending on WiFi. WiFi cameras are faster to install and suit townhouses, condos and rentals. We install indoor and outdoor cameras, and we help you choose by property, internet and number of cameras.

Wired CCTV (DVR/NVR)

More stable, and ideal for long-term use or larger properties.

WiFi cameras

Easier to install, and good for smaller spaces or rentals.

Security camera installation cost

How much does security camera installation cost in Oshawa?

The starting price in Oshawa is $200 for 1 or 2 WiFi cameras, before tax. For wired CCTV we ask for a few photos and send a free written quote that reflects the cameras, the cable runs and the recorder. A bungalow with a single-car garage needs less cable than a two-storey home with a double driveway, so we price each one after a few photos. Shops and industrial units are quoted after a walkthrough. Quotes are free, with a written price before any work starts.

WiFi camera installation

From $200 for 1 or 2 cameras, before tax. A good fit for condos, rentals and smaller homes.

Wired CCTV system (NVR/DVR)

Free custom quote. We price it for your property once we know the layout, the cable routes and the walls.

What changes the price of a camera system in Oshawa:

  • How many cameras you need, and whether the garage and back lane need their own view
  • The cable route: basement, attic or an exterior wall on a bungalow or two-storey home
  • Wall and siding type, from older brick to newer vinyl and stone
  • Wired PoE cameras with a recorder (NVR), or WiFi cameras on your network
  • For shops and industrial units: loading doors, stock rooms and the parking lot

Canadian dollars, before tax. Equipment is listed separately in your quote.

Security cameras for every kind of Oshawa property

Oshawa mixes older neighbourhoods near downtown and Simcoe Street, family bungalows and two-storey homes built from the 1950s through the 1990s, newer subdivisions in the north end near Windfields and Taunton, and industrial and retail areas along Highway 401. Each one needs a different plan, so we ask about your property before we come. We do residential security camera installation and commercial video surveillance.

Older neighbourhoods near downtown

Brick homes with finished basements and older wiring. We check the cable route first and cover the front door, driveway and back entrance.

1950s to 1990s family homes

Bungalows and two-storey houses with attics and basements that make wired PoE cameras easy to route. We plan the recorder location with you before drilling.

Windfields, Taunton and newer subdivisions

Newer homes where garages face the street. We aim every camera at your own driveway and entrance and keep neighbours’ windows out of the view.

Condos and townhouses in Oshawa

Check your complex’s rules before mounting anything outside your unit; a doorbell or WiFi camera is the common choice and needs no drilling into shared walls.

Shops and industrial units along Highway 401

Video surveillance for entrances, loading doors, parking and stock areas, with a walkthrough first.

Where should security cameras go on an Oshawa home?

Start with the ways in: the front door, the driveway and the back door. Many Oshawa homes have a long driveway and a detached or attached garage, so a driveway view is usually the second camera after the entrance. Aim each camera at your own property. Our guide to where a camera can legally point explains the rules.

Front door

See visitors and parcel deliveries. A camera above the door or a doorbell camera works well.

Driveway and garage

Covers cars, tools and anyone walking up to the house, day and night.

Side gate

Side gates and passages the street cannot see.

Backyard

Back doors and sheds, aimed at your own yard only.

Business entrances and loading doors

Entrances, stock areas and the parking lot. We suggest a walkthrough first.

Yes, if the camera is rated for cold and the cable is protected. We prefer wired PoE cameras outdoors because they do not depend on WiFi range at the edge of your signal. See our guide on PoE versus WiFi cameras for Canadian winters.
