What does a camera installation company charge?
It depends on the job, so ask for starting prices before you ask for a quote. Pixl posts its WiFi prices and quotes wired CCTV free in writing. You pay after the job, and we do not sell a monitoring contract.
| Job | Pixl price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| One or two WiFi cameras, own visit | From $200 | Cameras mounted, aimed and connected, with the app and alerts set up |
| Each WiFi camera added to another visit | $89 each | Same setup, charged per camera on a job you have already booked |
| Wired CCTV with a recorder | Free written quote | Each camera, the recorder, storage days, cable route and parts on their own lines |
| Shop, office, restaurant or warehouse | Free written quote | Quote written after a walkthrough. Several sites: ask for a multi-site quote |
| Battery or wired video doorbell | $99 battery, $149 wired | Mounted and connected with motion alerts. Wired uses existing wiring |
Not included: the cameras unless listed in your quote, tax, cloud plans, and new outlets or electrical work. See the installation price list for every posted price and our security camera installer page for how a job runs.

Which kind of company should install your cameras?
Camera work comes from several kinds of business. None is right for everyone, so match the option to what you need.
| Option | Does well | Check before you hire |
|---|---|---|
| Camera installation company (Pixl) | Installs the cameras you choose, you own the equipment and the login | Written quote, scope, support terms, how you pay |
| Alarm or monitoring company | Monitoring and response to alarms, often under a contract | Contract length, who owns the equipment. See alarm company or camera installer |
| Store install add-on | Convenient if you buy the kit at the same store | What it covers and where it applies. See installing a store camera kit |
| Independent handyman or freelancer | Flexible hours and personal service | Written scope, who supports the system later, provincial rules |
| Do it yourself | No labour charge | Your time, cable routes and ladder work. See DIY or professional installation |
How do you compare camera installation companies?
Call two or three companies and score each answer: 0 if they will not say, 1 if they say it but will not write it down, 2 if it is in the quote. The maximum is 20. A score of 16 to 20 means the company is easy to compare, 11 to 15 means ask more, and 10 or less means keep looking.
| Criterion | Why it matters | How Pixl answers |
|---|---|---|
| Photos or a visit before a wired quote | Cable routes decide the price | Yes. Wired quotes start from photos or a walkthrough |
| Itemized written quote | Cameras, recorder, cable and labour on separate lines | Yes, in the free written quote |
| Starting prices posted | You can check a number before calling | WiFi from $200, $89 per added camera |
| Installs cameras you already own | You are not forced to buy the company’s kit | Yes |
| Days of storage written down | Footage is overwritten when the drive fills | Storage days listed in wired quotes |
| You own the account and password | You can change installers later | Set up under your email at the visit |
| Payment point is clear | You know when money changes hands | After the job |
| Support after installation is in writing | Cameras need updates and repairs | Warranty terms are on the Legal page |
| Coverage matches your address | A company far away may add travel or delays | Edmonton base, 33 city pages, other cities by request |
| Can explain provincial rules in writing | Camera and privacy rules differ by province | Rules differ by province. See the unlicensed installer guide |
For the full question list behind this scorecard, read how to choose a security camera installer. Rules differ by province, so also check what applies at your address.

Ready to book your camera installation?
WiFi jobs get a fixed price and wired CCTV gets a free written quote. Payment comes last.
You want to hire a company to install cameras you chose or will choose, you want prices and scope in writing, and you would rather own the equipment than sign a monitoring contract.
You want someone to watch the cameras and dispatch help, which is a monitoring service, or you need new outlets or electrical work, which is an electrician’s job.
Camera installation company: frequently asked questions
How much does a security camera installation company charge?
Pixl installs one or two WiFi cameras from $200 before tax, charges $89 for each camera added to another visit, and quotes wired CCTV free in writing. You pay after the job.
How do I compare quotes from different companies?
Ask each to list cameras, recorder, storage days, cable work, app setup, support and payment in writing. A lower price that leaves out the recorder or the cable is not a lower price.
Will you install a camera kit I already bought?
Yes. Send the model and photos of the spots, and the price is confirmed before you book.
Do you serve my city?
Pixl is based in Edmonton and installs across Canada, with 33 city pages. If your city is not listed, text a photo and ask.
Do I have to sign a contract or pay for monitoring?
No. Pixl installs and sets up the system and does not sell monitoring. You get alerts on your phone.
Do you work with businesses?
Yes. Business sites begin with a walkthrough and get a written quote. If you have several locations, ask for a multi-site quote.
When is payment due?
When the work is finished, by card, e-transfer or cash. Same-day service is available when we have an opening.
