Nobody around here publishes prices. We think you deserve a straight answer before you ever pick up the phone — so here's what camera systems really cost in Maine, from the installer who puts them in.
For most Maine homes and small businesses, professional installation runs $150–$300 per camera on top of hardware. Here's what complete systems typically cost, installed and working:
Every property is different — runs, mounting, and building construction move the number. That's why the real answer is a free site visit and a straight quote: you'll know your exact price before any work starts, and the quote is the price.
Search around and you'll find $600 camera "systems." Those numbers are real — for battery-powered wireless kits and bargain CCTV bundles that drop off Wi-Fi, miss footage, and get replaced in a couple of years. What we install is different: 4K wired cameras that record 24/7, a proper recorder, cable runs you'll never see, and everything tested on your phone before we leave. We'd rather you know exactly what the difference buys than win a race to the cheapest box on the wall.
With a locally recorded NVR system there is no subscription. Your footage lives on your own recorder, you view it free from your phone, and nobody bills you monthly for your own cameras. Cloud storage and professional monitoring are optional add-ons — not requirements. That's a real difference from the national alarm companies.
Sovun Technologies is owner-operated in Lisbon Falls — the person who quotes your job is the person on the ladder. No sales commission built into the price, no inflated hardware markups, no surprise charges. We install NDAA-compliant cameras, run every wire clean, and test remote viewing on your phone before we leave. See the work on our gallery and what customers say on our reviews page.
For most Maine homes and small businesses, professional installation runs $150–$300 per camera installed, on top of hardware. A typical 4-camera wired home system lands around $1,200–$2,500 all-in; an 8-camera business system typically runs $2,500–$5,500 depending on cable runs, recorder and camera grade. Commercial-grade and specialty builds run beyond these ranges and are quoted individually.
Not with a locally recorded NVR system — your footage stays on your own recorder with no subscription. Cloud plans and professional monitoring are optional extras, not requirements.
If your recorder has open channels, adding a camera typically costs $250–$500 per camera including hardware and a clean cable run — often less when we can reuse existing cabling.
Wireless costs less on day one. Wired PoE costs less over the years — no batteries, no Wi-Fi dropouts, true 24/7 recording. We'll tell you straight which fits your property.
Often, yes. If your cabling is sound we reuse it, which is the single biggest money-saver on upgrade jobs.
Most 4-camera home systems are done in a day. Larger business systems typically take one to two days including setup and your walkthrough.
We install across Southern and Midcoast Maine — Lisbon Falls, Lewiston–Auburn, Brunswick–Topsham, Greater Portland, Augusta and the towns in between.

“I’m incredibly pleased with the design and installation of my security camera system from Sovun Technologies. The quality of the work, the attention to detail with the installation and Rayon’s time to commission the system have far exceeded any expectations I might have had. I very highly recommend Sovun and certainly will be using them on my next project.”
“Rayon was fast, professional and a good communicator. He showed up ready to work and got the job done quickly. The finished product was clean and exactly what I wanted, I would highly recommend his services. His helper was also very polite and professional.”
