Security Cabling & PoE Planner
Plan the structured cabling for a CCTV/security system — how much cable, how many drops, the PoE power budget and the right switch. Planning figures, not a wiring design; the actual cabling and electrical work is a licensed professional's job.
- Cat6 cable (259 m)₹6,475
- Conduit (208 m)₹8,320
- PoE switch (16-port PoE)₹14,000
- Terminations (9)₹1,800
- Labour (9 drops)₹2,700
Planning estimate only — actual cable depends on the real routes, keep data cable clear of and not parallel to mains, allow spare conduits for the future, and have a professional do the structured cabling and any electrical work.

One camera type runs power and video down a single Cat6 cable to an NVR and almost never drops out; the other clips to a wall in minutes and streams over your home Wi-Fi. This guide settles PoE vs Wi-Fi CCTV for Indian homes — reliability, video quality and bandwidth, cabling and power, retrofit versus new-build effort, NVR versus SD and cloud storage, hacking risk, real rupee costs, scalability and outdoor use — and gives a clear verdict for each kind of home.
