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.
More stable, and ideal for long-term use or larger properties.
Easier to install, and good for smaller spaces or rentals.
| Wired CCTV (NVR/DVR) | WiFi cameras | |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | A cable from each camera to a recorder (PoE carries power and video) | Your home WiFi |
| Recording | Hard drive in the recorder, at home | Cloud plan or SD card, depending on the brand |
| Reliability | Not affected by WiFi drops | Depends on the WiFi signal at each camera |
| Power | Through the network cable | Outlet, battery or solar panel |
| Best for | Houses with 4 or more cameras, acreages and businesses | Condos, rentals and 1 to 3 cameras |
| Installation | Cables routed through the attic, basement, soffits or walls | Faster, with less drilling |

Security camera installation cost
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.
From $200 for 1 or 2 cameras, before tax. A good fit for condos, rentals and smaller homes.
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:
Canadian dollars, before tax. Equipment is listed separately in your quote.
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.
Brick homes with finished basements and older wiring. We check the cable route first and cover the front door, driveway and back entrance.
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.
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.
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.
Video surveillance for entrances, loading doors, parking and stock areas, with a walkthrough first.
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.
See visitors and parcel deliveries. A camera above the door or a doorbell camera works well.
Covers cars, tools and anyone walking up to the house, day and night.
Side gates and passages the street cannot see.
Back doors and sheds, aimed at your own yard only.
Entrances, stock areas and the parking lot. We suggest a walkthrough first.
Getting cameras installed takes three steps: send us your property details, pick a time 7 days a week, and a technician installs and tests the system with you. Most homes with 2 to 6 cameras are done in one visit, and you pay only after everything works on your phone.
1
Use the quote form, call us, or text photos of your property. For most houses, a 2 to 6 camera install is a single visit of a few hours.
2
Pick a time that works, any day of the week, and we confirm it with you.
3
We mount, wire and test the system, then set up the app on your phone. You pay at the end.

Yes. We install video surveillance for shops, restaurants, offices and industrial units in Oshawa. A business gets a walkthrough first so entrances, loading areas and blind spots are covered, and we give you a free written quote. See Commercial CCTV installation.
Both work well. Wired PoE cameras are the most stable choice for houses with a basement or attic to route cable through. WiFi cameras suit townhouses, condos and rentals. We help you choose based on your property and your internet.
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.
Yes. Interior cameras suit garages, hallways and shared spaces, and exterior cameras suit doors, driveways and yards. We hide the cable where we can and choose PoE cameras outdoors for steadier recording.
