Why CCTV Cameras Matter in Kenya
Security incidents — from burglaries to employee theft — cost Kenyan businesses and homeowners millions every year. A well-placed CCTV system deters criminals, provides evidence when incidents occur, and gives you peace of mind whether you are on-site or monitoring remotely from your phone.
Modern CCTV systems are also far more affordable than they were five years ago. You no longer need a large budget to get clear, reliable surveillance footage.

3. IP / Network Cameras (High Definition)

4. Solar-Powered CCTV Cameras
Solar cameras are becoming extremely popular in Kenya, especially in areas where power supply is unreliable or where running cables is difficult. Many come with 4G SIM card slots so they do not need WiFi at all.
| Camera Type | Price Range (KES) |
|---|---|
| Solar WiFi Camera | 15,000 – 25,000 |
| 4G Solar PTZ Camera | 20,000 – 45,000 |

5. Complete CCTV Packages (Full System)
A full CCTV package includes cameras, a DVR or NVR recorder, a hard drive for storage, cables, power supplies, and professional installation. These are the most practical option if you want everything sorted in one go.
| Package | What's Included | Price Range (KES) |
|---|---|---|
| 2-Camera Home Package | 2 cameras, DVR, 500GB HDD, cables | 18,000 – 28,000 |

What Affects CCTV Camera Prices in Kenya?
Several factors influence how much you will pay:
- Resolution — Higher resolution cameras (4MP, 8MP) cost more than basic 720p or 1080p options. For identification purposes such as reading number plates or recognising faces, you need at least 2MP.
- Indoor vs outdoor — Outdoor cameras need weatherproofing (rated IP65 or IP67), which adds to the cost. Never use an indoor camera outdoors.
- Night vision — Most modern cameras include infrared (IR) night vision. Colour night vision cameras, which produce clearer footage after dark, cost slightly more.
- Brand — Hikvision and Dahua are the two dominant brands in Kenya. They offer excellent quality at competitive prices. Both come with manufacturer warranties. We stock both — see our product range.
- Wired vs wireless — Wired systems are more reliable but require more installation work. Wireless systems are easier to install but depend on a stable WiFi signal.
- Power source — Standard cameras run on mains power. Solar cameras are more expensive upfront but save you on installation costs in remote locations.
How Much Does CCTV Installation Cost in Kenya?
Installation is a separate cost from the cameras themselves. Here is what to expect:
- Basic 2-camera residential installation: KES 3,000 – 5,000
- 4-camera office installation: KES 5,000 – 10,000
- 8-camera commercial installation: KES 10,000 – 20,000
These costs cover cable laying, camera mounting, DVR/NVR configuration, and setting up remote viewing on your smartphone.
Hikvision vs Dahua — Which Brand Should You Choose?
Both Hikvision and Dahua are Chinese manufacturers and are the most widely installed CCTV brands in Kenya. Here is a quick comparison:
| Feature | Hikvision | Dahua |
|---|---|---|
| Image quality | Excellent | Excellent |
| Night vision | ColorVu (colour at night) | Full-colour night vision |
| App (remote viewing) | Hik-Connect | DMSS / SmartPSS |
| Price | Slightly higher | Slightly lower |
| Warranty in Kenya | 1 year | 1 year |
Both brands are widely supported and spare parts are readily available in Kenya. Our team can advise which suits your specific setup. Get in touch with us for a recommendation.
