That figure is a starting point, not a universal rate. Two Eyonic office projects in Kuching carried approximate budgets of RM 8,000 - RM 18,000 and RM 12,000 - RM 28,000, which shows how far a commercial scope can move beyond a basic package.
What a cctv price usually covers in Malaysia
A quoted cctv price normally bundles hardware and work. The hardware side includes cameras, a recorder, storage, cabling, connectors, and mounting fittings. The work side includes the site survey, camera placement, NVR setup, configuration, and remote viewing handover.
Eyonic's CCTV Security Systems service is described as planning, supplying, and installing monitoring systems with camera placement, recording, and remote viewing for homes, offices, shops, and industrial sites. The listed service components are site survey, camera placement, NVR setup, and remote viewing.
This is why a bare camera listing and an installed package are not comparable. A camera on a shelf has no recorder, no storage, no cable run, no mounting height decision, and no one to configure the mobile app. A package price absorbs all of that into one figure.
Eyonic's published Hikvision CCTV Package sits at RM 1,599 and covers camera supply and setup, basic recording configuration, and mobile viewing handover. The same RM 1,599 figure appears against the Hikvision Alarm System and the Autogate Package, so the number reflects a defined entry scope rather than a per-camera rate.
Camera count and placement drive most of the cost
Every additional camera adds a device, a cable run, a mounting point, and a recording channel. Placement decides how long each run is and whether the installer needs ladders, conduit, or trunking to keep the cabling tidy.
Coverage gaps are usually a placement problem rather than a camera-count problem. A camera aimed at the wrong angle leaves the same blind spot as no camera at all, and correcting it after installation costs another visit.
Eyonic's KTA Sarawak Sdn Bhd project in Kuching was scoped around staff movement, visitor handling, tidy cabling, and clearer daily site control. Tidy cabling is a real cost line because it consumes labour time that a hardware-only quote does not show.
Why the Kuching Immigration Office scope cost more
The Kuching Immigration Office project covered arrival flow, staff areas, visitor movement, and dependable daily operation, with an approximate budget of RM 12,000 - RM 28,000. A public office has more zones to cover and a higher expectation of uptime than a single shopfront, and both push the figure up.
The KTA Sarawak Sdn Bhd project carried an approximate budget of RM 8,000 - RM 18,000 for a practical office setup. The two ranges overlap, which is expected: office work varies with zone count, cable routing difficulty, and how much of the building is already wired.
Recording, storage and remote viewing
Recording is where a cheap quote often hides its limits. Storage capacity sets how many days of footage remain available, and the recorder sets how many cameras can be added later without replacing the unit.
Remote viewing adds a configuration step rather than a large hardware cost. It still has to be set up, tested, and handed over, and it depends on the network at the property being usable.
Eyonic's package wording places basic recording configuration and mobile viewing handover inside the RM 1,599 scope. That means the entry price already assumes a working recorder and a working phone view, not just cameras on a wall.
Lighting conditions before camera selection
Eyonic recommends checking actual lighting conditions before confirming placement for ColorVu-style cameras. A camera chosen for low-light colour performance is wasted if the position is aimed at a wall that never receives useful ambient light.
This check happens before the camera model is locked in, which is why it belongs in the survey stage. Changing the model after installation means paying for the visit twice.
How Eyonic scopes a cctv price
Eyonic's CCTV installation process runs through four stages, and the cctv price is set from what the survey finds rather than from a flat rate card.
- Site survey to record the property layout, existing cabling, lighting conditions, and the areas that need coverage.
- System proposal setting out camera placement, recorder and storage, and the remote viewing arrangement.
- Installation of cameras, cabling, mounting, and the recorder.
- Handover covering recording configuration and mobile viewing.
The survey is the stage that separates a defensible number from a guess. A property with existing conduit and a clear mounting line costs less to fit than one needing new routing through finished walls.

What changes the number after the survey
Camera count is the largest single lever, followed by cable routing difficulty and the number of recording channels required. Storage capacity and whether the recorder must support later expansion also move the figure.
Properties that need coverage across separate buildings, or across floors with no shared cable path, sit closer to the project budget ranges than to the entry package. Single-area residential work sits closer to the package figure.
Comparing a package against a bare camera listing
A bare listing answers what one camera costs. It does not answer what the installed system costs, because it excludes the recorder, storage, cable, mounting, configuration, and handover.
The practical test is to check whether a quote names the recorder, the storage, the cable route, and the handover. A figure that names only cameras is a hardware price, and the installation cost still sits outside it.
Eyonic's published package structure names the work as well as the hardware: camera supply and setup, basic recording configuration, and mobile viewing handover. That structure is what makes the RM 1,599 figure comparable against another installed quote rather than against a camera listing.
