Where should security cameras go in a dental office or clinic?
| Area | Why | Camera type |
|---|---|---|
| Front entrance and reception | Records who comes and goes, and any dispute at the desk | Dome with a wide lens |
| Waiting room | General coverage of a shared area | Dome, ceiling mounted |
| Staff and back entrance | After-hours break-ins and deliveries | Bullet or turret with night vision |
| Parking and back lane | Vehicle break-ins and vandalism | Outdoor bullet. See parking lot cameras |
| Medication and supply room door | Controlled access to stock | Dome facing the door, not the room |
What privacy rules apply to clinic cameras?
Clinics collect personal information, so camera placement matters. Keep cameras out of treatment rooms, washrooms and changing areas, post a clear notice that video recording is in use, limit who can view footage, and set a fixed retention period. Privacy rules differ by province and by profession, so check with your regulatory college or a lawyer before you finalize placement. Our guide to security camera laws in Canada covers the basics, including audio recording.
How much does a clinic camera system cost?
These are market estimates, not a Pixl price. They multiply the typical installed range of $700 to $1,500 per standard IP camera by the number of cameras. Your quote depends on cable routes, recorder, storage and network work.
| Cameras | Low | High | Typical clinic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | $2,800 | $6,000 | Single-chair dental or small physio |
| 6 | $4,200 | $9,000 | Multi-room clinic with a back lane |
| 8 | $5,600 | $12,000 | Larger clinic with parking |
