CCTV Camera Price in Sri Lanka: A Complete 2025 Pricing Guide
“How Much Does It Cost?” – The Most Important Question
Whether you’re securing your family home or protecting your business, the first question that comes to mind when considering CCTV is always the same:
“How much is this going to cost?”
The answers you find online can be confusing. You’ll see cheap “plug-and-play” kits, conflicting advice from friends, and vague quotes from installers. It’s hard to know what you’re really paying for—and harder still to know what you might be missing.
At Penta Technology Solutions, we believe that informed clients make better security decisions. This guide gives you a clear breakdown of CCTV camera prices in Sri Lanka for 2024, helping you understand exactly what contributes to the cost and what to expect from different budget levels.
The Golden Rule: You’re Buying a System, Not Just Cameras
CCTV systems are more than just cameras. A complete setup includes four major components:
- Cameras – Capture the footage
- Recorder & Hard Drive – Store and manage video
- Cabling & Accessories – Ensure proper power and data flow
- Professional Installation – Make everything work securely and reliably
Cutting costs on any one of these—especially cabling or installation—can compromise the performance of the entire system.
Component Breakdown – What Are You Paying For?
1. CCTV Cameras
The widest price range is in the camera itself. Features, resolution, and durability determine the cost.
Entry-Level Professional Cameras (LKR 8,000 – 15,000)
- 2MP–4MP (1080p–2K)
- Standard infrared night vision
- Ideal for indoor or low-risk outdoor areas
Mid-Range Professional Cameras (LKR 15,000 – 25,000)
- 5MP–8MP (2K–4K)
- ColorVu night vision, IP67 weatherproofing
- Suitable for gates, entrances, and cash points
High-End & Specialized Cameras (LKR 30,000 – 100,000+)
- PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom), AI analytics, varifocal lenses
- Used in high-security zones, large car parks, or active surveillance systems
Penta Insight: Most clients benefit from a mixed approach—higher-end cameras in critical zones and standard models elsewhere.
2. Recorder (NVR) & Surveillance-Grade Hard Drive
The recorder stores and manages footage. Hard drives determine how long that footage is retained.
| NVR Type | Price (Approx.) |
|---|---|
| 4-Channel NVR | LKR 15,000 – 20,000 |
| 8-Channel NVR | LKR 20,000 – 30,000 |
| 16-Channel NVR | LKR 35,000+ |
| Hard Drive Size | Price (Approx.) |
|---|---|
| 1TB | LKR 15,000 – 18,000 |
| 2TB | LKR 20,000 – 25,000 |
| 4TB | LKR 35,000 – 45,000 |
Always use surveillance-grade HDDs like WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk for 24/7 recording.
3. Cabling, Power, and Accessories
Cheap kits often cut corners here, but these components are critical.
- High-quality Cat6 cable, junction boxes, waterproof fittings
- Centralized power supplies
- Estimated cost: LKR 10,000 – 30,000+ (based on property size and layout)
4. Professional Installation
This includes:
- Secure cable routing
- Precise camera mounting
- NVR setup with remote access
- Network security configuration
- Client training
Estimated installation cost:
LKR 15,000 – 25,000 for standard 4-camera setups.
Larger systems may vary based on complexity.
