How much does CCTV installation cost in India?

How to picture it.
CCTV budget worksheet for a home, office, warehouse and campus, split into cameras, cabling, storage, installation, integration and AMC.
From the field.
For a multi-zone warehouse, the camera count was not the largest decision. Dock lighting, cable routes, retention days and the need to identify faces or vehicle plates changed the proposal more than the headline camera price.
