- Installation and cable rates are thin; confirm with Lahore installers.
- Package reference: a 4-camera installed system is quoted at 42,000-182,000 by one cost guide.
- Package reference: 4 x 2MP 40,500; 4 x 5MP 57,400; 4 x 8MP 98,400. Note: source 13.
How we calculate
We researched current rates from several Pakistani suppliers, contractors, price lists and market reports in October 2026 and use the low and high end of what we found. Your inputs are multiplied by those rates to give a range, not a single figure. Labour, transport, taxes and your exact specification can move the final price, so treat the result as a budget guide and confirm with written quotes.
