1. What is this item?

CCTV & Remote Surveillance Infrastructure refers to the installation of a network of cameras, sensors, and monitoring systems to remotely monitor the farm’s premises. This system provides continuous real-time video feeds, which can be accessed locally or remotely for security, surveillance, and emergency responses. It often includes motion sensors, night vision cameras, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) functionality, and cloud storage for recording.

2. How is the Quantity Estimated?

• Number of cameras: Typically, for a 10-hectare farm, 6–8 cameras should suffice, positioned to cover the perimeter, critical points, entryways, and any sensitive zones.

• CCTV setup includes:

o Perimeter cameras: Placed at corners and along fencing

o Main gate cameras: Positioned at the entrance and exit for vehicle and personnel monitoring

o Remote/mobile cameras: For mobile surveillance or areas needing additional coverage

• Monitoring: A central control unit (could be a security room or cloud-based system) for recording and surveillance review

• Camera type: Day/night, infrared, PTZ (for wide-area monitoring)

• Remote access system: Integration with smartphone apps or cloud-based systems for real-time monitoring

3. What are the Cost Components?

• Cameras (Infrared, PTZ, and motion sensors)

• Wiring & Cables (For video feeds, power supply, etc.)

• Surveillance Monitors (For on-site viewing)

• Recording/Storage Device (DVR/NVR or cloud storage for video retention)

• Control Room Setup (Furniture, computers, and monitoring systems)

• Remote Access Setup (App or cloud integration)

• Installation Costs (Labor, network configuration, equipment setup)

• Power Backup (UPS for uninterrupted surveillance)

4. What are the Going Rates & Per Unit Cost?

• CCTV Cameras (Infrared/HD): ₹5,000–₹15,000 per camera (depending on resolution and brand)

• PTZ Camera (High-functioning): ₹20,000–₹50,000 per camera

• Cabling (For 100 meters): ₹2,000–₹5,000 (depends on quality)

• DVR/NVR (Recording system): ₹15,000–₹40,000

• Remote Access System (App or Cloud-based): ₹5,000–₹15,000 (software/annual fee)

• Central Monitoring Station Setup: ₹50,000–₹1 lakh (for computers, monitor, furniture)

• Installation Costs: ₹10,000–₹25,000 (depending on complexity)

✨ Tips & Trends:

• Hybrid systems that offer both local and cloud storage are growing in demand for easy access and secure backups

• Integrate motion sensors to automatically trigger recording when movement is detected, saving storage space

• For larger farms, consider a drone surveillance system for an aerial view of the farm from time to time

• Night vision cameras and infrared sensors are a must for night-time surveillance
