Guide prices are based on the average of prices published by security installers in Ireland in 2026. Your own price depends on the property and is confirmed in writing after the survey. Every price is for work by our own engineers under the licence 1Install, which trades as Cork Security, holds from the Private Security Authority.
What changes the price
The biggest factors are the size of the property, how far cable has to run, and whether the house is finished or still being built. Fitting cable at first fix costs far less than routing it through a finished home.
For gates, the weight and width of the leaves, the condition of the pillars and any ground works make the difference. For cameras, it is the number of views and the distance back to the recorder.
