CCTV Camera Prices in Egypt 2026: Equipment, Types and Specifications
Compare typical surveillance camera categories in Egypt before deciding what to install at your home, shop, office or industrial site. Camera prices are only one part of the cost: recording, storage, cables and proper design matter just as much.
Why is CCTV important?
An appropriately designed surveillance system supports perimeter and entrance monitoring, incident review and day-to-day operational oversight. It can also enable authorized remote viewing from a phone when network security and recorder access are correctly configured.
- Monitor entrances, exits, stores and other sensitive areas.
- Review recorded incidents and investigate operational issues.
- Access live video remotely with suitable safeguards.
- Plan a system that can be extended as your facility grows.
Common surveillance camera types in Egypt
Analog HD Cameras
Often an economical choice for smaller sites and existing coaxial-cable infrastructure.
IP Network Cameras
Offer network-based video, more system flexibility and advanced options for commercial and enterprise installations.
Wi-Fi Cameras
Useful in suitable small spaces, but wireless coverage and reliability must be checked; generally not the first choice for major projects.
PTZ Cameras
Pan-tilt-zoom models provide adjustable coverage for large yards, industrial sites and selected perimeter-monitoring applications.

Camera brands and technology considerations
Commonly evaluated brands include Hikvision, Dahua and Uniview (UNV). Check each proposed model's optical performance, low-light capability, video compression, compatibility and available analytics rather than buying solely on brand recognition.
What affects the final CCTV price?
- Quantity: the number of cameras and coverage points.
- Resolution and lens: 2MP, 4MP and 8MP models differ in image detail and data usage.
- System architecture: Analog HD versus IP, PoE switches, networking and server or NVR options.
- Recording retention: required days of footage, bitrate, frame rate and disk capacity.
- Installation conditions: cable routes, working at height, outdoor protection and commissioning.
Before choosing surveillance equipment
- Define the coverage objectives and blind spots before counting cameras.
- Decide whether you need infrared night vision, color night vision or specific low-light performance.
- Confirm device warranty terms, genuine product sourcing and support.
- Validate recorder compatibility, storage capacity and secure remote access.
- For warehouses, factories and offices, ask for site drawings and an engineered quotation.
