Shop CCTV cost in Islamabad
PKR 55,000 to 95,000 fits out a typical Islamabad shop: entrance, counter, stock area and rear door, installed with a recorder and a month of storage. A markaz unit with short cable runs lands near the bottom of that band; a corner shop needing an outdoor camera over the service lane pushes toward the top.

Spend the extra rupees at the door
Identification happens at the entrance, so that camera earns higher resolution and face-height mounting while the rest of the shop runs standard 2MP. Splitting the budget that way costs a few thousand more than four identical cameras and is the difference between footage that names someone and footage that describes a jacket.
A month of history beats more cameras
Shop losses surface at stock-take, not the same afternoon, so retention is the specification that matters. Four cameras with thirty days of storage answer more questions than eight cameras holding a fortnight — for less money. Size the drive from when you actually reconcile stock, and let the camera count stay honest.
Markaz and plaza realities
Shared walls, risers and shopfront signage mean the plaza management's permission comes before any drilling, and surface conduit that can be removed at the end of a lease is usually the right call. We schedule the messy work outside your trading hours and around the markaz loading windows, because closing a shop for an install costs you more than the install does.
How much does CCTV cost for a shop in Islamabad?
What is the cheapest shop system worth buying?
Four cameras, an eight-channel recorder and a drive sized to your stock-take cycle. Below that you own something that records, but not something that answers questions when a discrepancy appears.
Can the system move with me if I change shops?
The cameras and recorder move; the cabling stays in the walls. Budget a rewire at the new unit — which is also why we keep the equipment lines and labour lines separate on the invoice.
Rather have it done?
CCTV installation means a free survey of your shop, office or home, a camera plan that covers gates, counters and blind corners, cabling run through conduit, a recorder sized for the days of footage you want, and phone viewing working before handover. A four-camera 2MP package in Islamabad or Rawalpindi runs PKR 55,000 to 85,000 fitted.
