A useful camera hire comparison starts with the full quote for the job. A low weekly figure can describe a different package, minimum term or level of response.
For our current catalogue price, see the solar camera bundle. The displayed weekly equivalent is not a statement about invoice frequency.
What drives the price of site camera hire?
Compare the equipment supplied, how long you need it and the work needed at your address. Check whether a quote is for an individual camera, a complete system, or a monitored service.
Our available offer is a two-camera solar bundle on a dedicated pole. It includes a fixed spot camera for a chosen priority area and a pan/tilt camera for a wider view. We do not offer camera-only hire.
How should I compare installation costs?
Ask the supplier to identify the equipment hire and delivery charges separately, then explain the installation and collection arrangements. Confirm access and the proposed position before accepting the quote.
Do not compare a permanent CCTV installation quote with temporary hire using the headline figure alone. One may include equipment ownership and cabling; the other covers hired equipment for an agreed period.
What should the total quote show?
- The package and number of cameras supplied.
- The minimum hire period and the charge for keeping it longer.
- Whether each amount includes or excludes GST.
- Delivery charges for the exact address and collection arrangements.
- Any additional work or services agreed for your site.
For our current offer, use the camera hire and delivery details. Delivery is additional to equipment hire. Confirm the total and payment arrangements in your quote.
What is included in our camera hire?
The solar bundle includes a dedicated pole, solar panel and battery, two cameras, 4G connectivity and app access. Both cameras record continuously, 24/7, with event recording and 10-day playback.
You manage viewing and respond to alerts. Staffed monitoring is not included. Download recordings you need to retain before they are deleted after 10 days.
What can make one quote higher than another?
Different views, hire periods or site access requirements can change the work being quoted. A package with staffed monitoring or an agreed response service also buys a different service from customer-managed app access.
Ask what a proposed extra covers. A camera count alone does not tell you whether the system sees the areas you need or provides the response you expect.
Cameras, guards and a temporary power pole
A security guard provides an on-site service within agreed duties and hours. Our camera hire provides recording and customer-managed app access. Compare the differences between cameras and guards before treating their prices as substitutes.
Our camera for a hired temporary power pole is coming soon. Its availability, pricing and retention will be confirmed separately. Do not use the solar bundle price as a quote for that option.
What to ask before accepting a quote
Give each supplier the same address, dates and areas to cover. Ask them to confirm the package, recording mode, retention and who responds to an alert. Then compare the total for the same hire period, with GST treated consistently.
If the end date is uncertain, ask how an extension is charged and how to arrange collection. For the broader choice of equipment, use our camera buying checklist.
