Cost of installing a security camera?

Every building I have lived in has them in the hallways.

This is interesting about Taiwan as a $14 000 NTD a month apartment back home would not have security cameras.

I can only presume that they must be dirt cheap to buy and install in Taiwan.

Any idea around how much is costs to install a hallway security camera in Taiwan?

Only know I paid NT$30,000 for someone to install 8 cameras including running the wires throughout my farm house and 2T storage. Most people think I paid too much.

Can spend a little or a lot. Full setups can be expensive.

Price for simple setups keeps going down.
Very cheap route would be a simple battery operated camera, wifi-connected to your home wifi. Then use computer or apps to monitor or record. All in 3-5 thousand NT$ or so.

Amazon has a branded camera recently out this exact type of purpose ~us$100.

Buy the kit from Costco, 8000nt, 4 cameras.

Do all the wiring and setup yourself.

Or pay someone to do it…

That seems like a fairly common reasonable price to me for that type of setup. Could have been a lot more or a little less.

Or if you want to go fancy with a motorized tracking function;

What app would you use?

I’m looking for a security camera system, and really the only remote-accessible cameras I’m considering is with end-to-end encryption. I think only apples HomeKit secure video is available at a consumer level, but none Of their options have local storage.

I was thinking of an entirely closed system, but then someone could just take the base and run, so wanted something to upload to the cloud as well.

It seems what I want is the unicorn and I haven’t found a consumer grade solution.
