Fully insured, WSIB-covered, licensed low-voltage contractor. Every installation is carried out by employed, background-checked technicians — not subcontractors.

Frequently Asked Questions — Security Camera Installation Toronto
How much does security camera installation cost in Toronto?
Commercial security camera installation costs vary by camera count, system type, building access and cabling requirements. A small 4–8 camera IP system for a single-site office or retail location typically starts around $2,000–$4,500 fully installed including NVR, cabling and configuration. Larger systems for warehouses or multi-floor buildings are quoted on-site. Cablify provides free on-site assessments with a written fixed-price quote — call 1-877-450-2134.
How many security cameras does my business need?
It depends on your facility layout, the number of entry/exit points, and your coverage objectives. A general starting point: one camera per 400–600 sq ft of monitored space for retail; perimeter + interior zones for warehouses; entrance, reception, server room and parking for offices. Our site survey maps coverage requirements before recommending a camera count.
What is the difference between IP cameras and analog CCTV?
IP (network) cameras transmit digital video over Cat cable infrastructure and can deliver 4K resolution, onboard analytics and remote access via smartphone. Analog CCTV uses coaxial cable and is lower resolution. All new Cablify installations use IP cameras on PoE (Power over Ethernet) Cat6a infrastructure. We can also upgrade existing coaxial systems to HD-over-coax as a cost-effective midpoint before a full IP migration.
How long does a commercial CCTV installation take?
A small 8-camera single-floor installation typically takes 1 full day. A 16–32 camera multi-floor or warehouse installation takes 2–4 days. We work after hours and on weekends to minimize disruption to your operations.
Do I need a permit to install security cameras in Ontario?
Security cameras installed on private commercial property do not require a building permit in Ontario. However, cameras covering public areas, adjacent properties or used in certain regulated industries (cannabis, financial services) may be subject to PIPEDA and Ontario privacy regulations. Cablify advises on placement best practices to ensure compliance and can provide camera coverage diagrams for your records.
Can you integrate security cameras with our access control system?
Yes. Cablify regularly installs CCTV and access control together as a coordinated project. Camera events can be triggered by door access events — for example, a card reader access attempt automatically pulls up the relevant camera in your VMS. We work with Kantech, Honeywell, Genetec and Axis systems. Combined projects share cabling infrastructure and IDF rooms, reducing total installation cost.
