Video Door Phone Cost Calculator

What a video door phone really costs for a home — including the install, mains point and backup people forget, plus the annual running cost and a five-year total. Bands are indicative (brand, city and spec move them a lot). A budgeting starting point, not a quotation. Runs in your browser.

Mid-point of the bands below: upfront cost plus five years of running cost.

Per year (running)
Upfront breakdown (high estimate)
Door phone kit (1 monitor, Wired HD)15,000
Install + wiring (at build stage)4,000
Mains adaptor point (electrician)2,000
Power backup (UPS / router on inverter)9,000

The cheapest kit is rarely the cheapest over five years — a cloud subscription and service add up. GST is extra. For a whole apartment building, use the system planner instead.
