How much does a self-storage 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. Long cable runs, outdoor conduit and many hallways raise the total.
| Cameras | Low | High | Typical site |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | $8,400 | $18,000 | Small facility, one building |
| 20 | $14,000 | $30,000 | Mid-size indoor facility |
| 30 | $21,000 | $45,000 | Multi-building site with drive-up units |
See commercial security camera installation cost and warehouse security cameras, which has similar layout rules.
Why do wired cameras suit self-storage in a Canadian winter?
Outdoor corridors and long runs between buildings suit wired PoE cameras, because power and video travel on one cable and there is no battery or WiFi link to fail in the cold. See wired vs WiFi cameras and NVR vs DVR.
