When you compare CCTV installation companies near me, check ten things before you pay: proof of registration, an itemized written quote, named camera models, warranty terms, a cabling and power plan, privacy handling, account ownership, a handover test, a proper bill and local references. A reliable installer answers every one in writing.
Nepal has plenty of shops that sell cameras and plenty of people who fit them, but the two are not always the same business. Work that looks fine on day one can fail at the first power cut or the first monsoon storm.
This checklist shows how to choose a CCTV installer in Nepal, from the first phone call to the final receipt. For the mounting and cabling side, see our CCTV installation guide.
Short Summary
- Call at least three CCTV installation companies near me and ask each one the same questions.
- Insist on an itemized quote that names every camera model, cable and mounting part.
- Get the warranty terms, the bill and a list of camera locations in writing.
- Keep the admin login in your own name and test live view before the crew leaves.
Shortlist CCTV Installation Companies Near Me Before You Call Anyone
Start with people you trust. Ask neighbors, shop owners and relatives who already run cameras who fitted them and whether the company came back when something broke.
Then read recent Google Maps reviews for any company on your list. A few detailed comments about after-sales help tell you more than a high star rating with no words.
You can also find an NV NightVision dealer near you and ask whether that dealer installs or can name a local installer it works with.
Call three CCTV installation companies near me and ask the same questions in the same order. That makes the answers easy to compare later.
The 10-Point CCTV Installer Checklist
Work through these checks in order. The first five protect your money, and the last five protect your privacy and your footage. This CCTV installer checklist also fits a shop, a godown or an office.
Confirm the business is registered and can name its owner
Ask for the registered business name and its PAN number. Check that the name on the quote matches the name on the bill.
A one-person crew can still do good work, but you should know who to call when something fails.
Ask to see recent installations
Request two or three nearby addresses where you can see the cabling and camera mounts yourself. Dated photos are a fallback.
Ask a past customer how the company behaved after the job. That answer tells you more than the quote does.
Get an itemized written quote
The quote should list each camera, the recorder or SD card, cable, power adapters, mounting parts and labor as separate lines. Cost stays easier to judge when you can see what each line covers.
Camera count, cable length, wall height and how well the wiring must be hidden all change the final bill. A single lump sum hides what you are really buying.
Match the camera models on the quote to the spec sheet
Ask for exact model names and check them against the maker’s spec sheet. Compare resolution, night vision distance and storage, not only the brand label on the box.
Our full price list puts the models in one place, and each product page carries current details.
Read the warranty terms before you pay
Ask who covers repairs, the installer or the brand, and for how long. Nepal’s Consumer Protection Act 2075 says a seller must abide by any guarantee or warranty that comes with the goods.
Get the terms on paper, with the start date and what the cover excludes.
Ask how the installer will handle cabling and power
Wires should run neatly, stay away from water and enter the building through sealed holes. In a Kathmandu apartment, ask how the crew will route cable without damaging shared walls.
Load shedding taught many families that a router and a recorder stop when the power does. Ask whether a small backup battery fits your plan.
Make sure the installer respects privacy rules
The Privacy Act 2075 says no one may install a CCTV camera at a person’s residence without that person’s consent, or to collect personal information about the people who live there.
For public places, the Act says cameras must stay out of toilets, bathrooms and changing rooms, and a notice must tell people a camera is there.
A careful installer already knows this and aims cameras away from neighbors’ windows. This is general information and not legal advice.
Keep the admin login in your own name
You should hold the main account for the camera app and any recorder. Ask the installer to set the password in front of you, then change it yourself.
Never accept a setup where only the installer knows the login.
Ask for a handover test before the crew leaves
Before the team packs up, check live view on your phone, play back a short test clip and review the alert settings. Ask how long the recorder or card keeps footage.
Our guide on how long CCTV cameras store footage helps you judge the answer.
Collect the bill, the warranty card and a completion note
The same Act says a service provider must give a bill or receipt after taking payment for the service. Keep that bill with the warranty card.
Add a short note listing each camera’s model and location. You will want it when a camera fails or when you sell the property.
Red Flags That Mean You Should Walk Away From CCTV Installation Companies Near Me
Some warning signs show up before any work starts. Treat these as reasons to look elsewhere:
- The company refuses to put the quote in writing.
- It will not name the camera models it plans to fit.
- It cannot show any past work or give one reference.
- It asks for the full payment up front and offers no receipt.
- It promises a “lifetime” warranty with nothing on paper.
- It pushes you to decide today.
One red flag may be a misunderstanding. Two or more mean you should keep calling.
Plan the Site Visit So the Quote Matches the Job
A good quote starts with a good visit. Sketch the rooms or the shop floor, mark where each camera should go, and note the router and power points before the installer arrives.
Book early if you want the work done before Tihar travel. Festival weeks are busy for most trades, and a rushed job is where mistakes happen.
Ask whether the company offers a yearly check after the install. Our notes on CCTV camera maintenance and upgrades show what that check should cover.

Common Questions About Choosing a CCTV Installation Company in Nepal
How can I find reliable CCTV installation companies near me?
Ask neighbors and shop owners who already run cameras, then check recent Google Maps reviews and ask each company for two nearby installations you can see. Call at least three companies with the same questions and compare their written answers, not only their promises.
What should a written CCTV installation quote include?
It should list every camera by model name, the recorder or SD card, cable, power adapters, mounting parts and labor as separate lines. It should also state the warranty terms and the completion date. A lump sum with no detail makes comparison impossible.
Should I buy the cameras myself or through the installer?
Either can work. Buying through the installer gives you one party to call for faults, while buying yourself lets you pick the model. If you buy yourself, agree in writing that the installer will fit and test the cameras, and ask who handles warranty claims.
Do installers in Nepal have to give a bill and a warranty?
Nepal’s Consumer Protection Act 2075 says a service provider must give a bill or receipt after taking payment, and a seller must abide by any guarantee or warranty on the goods. Ask for both in writing before you pay. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is it safe to give an installer my camera app password?
It is safer to set the password yourself while the installer watches. Ask for the admin account to be created in your name, change any starting password, and remove the installer’s access when the job ends. Never accept a setup where only the installer holds the login.
What should I check after the installer leaves?
Test live view on your phone, play back a short clip, trigger an alert and confirm the recorder or card is saving. Walk past each camera to see that it covers the spot you wanted. Keep the bill, the warranty card and the list of camera locations together.
