Networking
Estimate install costs for Wi‑Fi, PoE switching, and camera-ready drops. Numbers are ballpark for Indianapolis and Carmel; we finalize after a site survey.
This calculator follows your February 14, 2026 security camera proposal. Adjust camera count, labor rate, and line items to fit your site before we confirm with a walkthrough.
Estimate
Client-supplied cameras and NVR are not included in this total. Includes attic cable routing, conduit finish, testing, and handoff training.
How we price
Need a camera package with hardware included? We can combine this labor estimate with equipment options on your formal quote.
Estimator notes
Ceiling access, cable path complexity, conduit length, and exterior exposure can change labor and material needs. Use this as a baseline before the site walk.
Tips
Use actual camera count, include conduit where exposed cable is visible, and keep a small buffer for unexpected wall fishing. A walkthrough confirms final routing.
How to use it
This camera installation calculator estimates labor and scope based on your proposal structure. Start with camera count, confirm labor per camera, then update setup, materials, and conduit values.
We use this estimate to scope your Indianapolis or Carmel site survey, then confirm cable paths, access points, and final mount positions before final pricing.
What changes price
Hard ceilings, long cable runs, attic obstacles, and exterior wall access all add labor. Conduit length and weatherproofing requirements can also increase materials.
A short site walk lets us confirm route distance, mount points, and conduit needs so you get a reliable and clean finished install.
Share device counts and a simple floor plan and we will confirm a tighter range before the site walk.
Scenario planning
Most homes in Indianapolis and Carmel need 4 to 8 cameras with attic routing and selective exterior conduit. Detached garages and long driveways often add cable distance.
Larger homes and mixed indoor and outdoor coverage increase labor and materials. This calculator helps you set a baseline before we confirm the exact layout.
Managed support
Many Indianapolis and Carmel businesses add monitoring for switches, access points, and camera uptime. We track performance, receive alerts, and resolve issues before users notice.
Managed support includes routine firmware updates, health checks, and a monthly summary of findings.
Hardware guidance
If you are not sure about hardware costs, start with mid-tier pricing for Ubiquiti access points and PoE switches. We can adjust the estimate after a survey to match your floor plan and device load.
Camera-heavy sites often need larger switches and more storage, while office environments focus on Wi-Fi coverage and guest access.
If you already own hardware, enter $0 in hardware and focus the estimate on labor and configuration. We adjust once we confirm device models and PoE needs.
Site complexity and building materials can shift labor estimates.
