16 camera CCTV system price in Islamabad
PKR 280,000 upward buys a sixteen-camera 2MP system installed in Islamabad; a 4MP IP build with an NVR and PoE switching typically starts around PKR 420,000. At sixteen channels the cable plan, switch specification and mounting access set the real cost, so treat any figure quoted over the phone as a placeholder.

Where sixteen-camera jobs happen
Industrial units in I-9 and I-10, schools, guest houses, plazas with shared corridors and parking, warehouses off the Expressway. None of these buildings can be priced from a description: riser access, roof crossings, which walls are shared with a neighbour and what the building management permits all change the labour by tens of thousands of rupees. The free survey exists precisely for this size of job.
Buy the PoE switch by watts, not ports
A budget switch may offer sixteen PoE sockets while its combined wattage feeds far fewer cameras than that under full load. The failure arrives at dusk, when every infra-red illuminator wakes at once and the hungriest cameras drop off — a fault that looks supernatural until someone reads the power budget on the label. Specifying the switch properly at quotation costs nothing.
Storage, backup and who holds the keys
Sixteen cameras need at least 4 TB for a month of history, and a UPS keeping the recorder and switch alive through load-shedding is a small line against what the system protects. At this size we also set up separate viewing and admin logins at handover, because a shared password on a sixteen-camera site is how footage quietly disappears.
How much is a 16 camera CCTV system in Islamabad?
Can one recorder handle all sixteen?
Comfortably — sixteen-channel units are ordinary stock. What limits the build is the drive bay count and the total recording bandwidth, so read those two lines on the datasheet rather than the channel figure.
How long does a sixteen-camera installation take?
Usually two to four working days depending on conduit routes and building access, and we schedule around your trading hours rather than through them.
Rather have it done?
IP camera installation runs each camera on a single Cat6 cable that carries both power and video, delivering 4MP or sharper images that hold detail when you zoom. It suits offices, schools and larger Islamabad homes, and grows cheaply once the recorder and switch are in. Four channels installed start around PKR 110,000.
