How Much Does a Hikvision CCTV System Cost? (UK)

A complete Hikvision CCTV kit typically ranges from around £350 for a small system up to £2,000-£4,500 for larger, fully loaded ones. Most home setups land between £400 and £900, depending on the number of cameras, the resolution and how much storage you add.

What drives the price

• Number of cameras - the biggest factor. More cameras means a bigger recorder and more storage too.
• Resolution - 8MP (4K) kits cost more than 4MP. 4MP vs 8MP.
• Features - ColorVu colour night vision and AcuSense smart detection add a little to the price but a lot to the value.
• Storage - a bigger surveillance hard drive for longer retention adds cost. How much storage you need.
• Installation - doing it yourself saves the labour; a professional install adds to the total. Can I install it myself?
