How much does CCTV installation cost in Dubai for a villa?

CCTV installation in Dubai for a villa covering 3–4 cameras (front door, back garden, driveway) typically costs AED 1,500–AED 4,000 all-in depending on camera quality, DVR/NVR specification, cabling complexity, and whether remote viewing is included. Budget systems with basic cameras start around AED 1,500. Mid-range systems with HD cameras, night vision, and mobile app viewing typically cost AED 2,500–AED 3,500. Premium systems with 4K cameras and advanced motion detection cost AED 4,000+. Permit requirement: for residential CCTV within your own property (not covering public areas or neighbours), no permit is required in Dubai. However, cameras must not film public streets, neighbours' properties, or shared areas without consent. Installation typically takes 4–8 hours for a 4-camera system.
