How much does a 4-camera CCTV system cost in Penang?

A basic 4-camera IP system for a Penang terrace house costs RM 900-1,800 fully installed, including NVR, 1-2TB storage, cabling, and app setup. Mid-range 4-camera systems at 4MP resolution run RM 1,400-2,200. The biggest cost variable is camera resolution and night-vision range.

What brands are recommended for CCTV in Penang?

Hikvision and Dahua are the dominant reliable mid-range brands available in Penang, with local service support. Both provide firmware updates and have a large installer base. Budget brands without local warranty coverage are cheaper upfront but parts become unavailable within 3-5 years.

How many days of footage does a typical Penang CCTV system store?

At 1080p with motion-triggered recording, 1TB stores roughly 12-15 days for a 4-camera system. 4MP cameras consume approximately double the storage at the same frame rate. For continuous 24/7 recording, budget 2-4TB per 4-camera system.

Is IP or analogue CCTV better for a Penang home?

IP (PoE) systems are now standard for new Penang installations. A single Cat6 cable carries both power and data, making installation cleaner. Analogue HD-TVI systems are mainly used for expanding existing analogue setups. IP cameras offer higher resolution, remote access, and easier future expansion.
