Recurring costs include a monthly charge for video storage. These charges are: $5/month for general use interior cameras; $10/month for wide-angle interior cameras; $10/month for external cameras. After the first three years, camera device licenses require annual renewal of $40.

Please contact us for additional information. A detailed proposal based on your department’s security needs can be provided.
