You want CCTV for your Delhi office — but every vendor throws different camera names at you: dome, bullet, PTZ, fisheye, IP, analogue, DVR, NVR. Most sales calls skip the explanation and go straight to the quote. This guide does the opposite: it explains every camera type clearly, tells you which one suits which part of an office, and gives you the 2026 installation prices so you walk into any sales conversation with a full picture.
Quick answer for a typical Delhi office: 4–8 dome cameras indoors + 2–4 bullet cameras at the entrance and car park, all connected to an 8-channel DVR with a 2TB surveillance HDD. This covers 90% of Delhi office requirements at ₹25,000–₹55,000 installed. Full breakdown below.
The 5 Main Types of CCTV Cameras
1. Dome Camera — Best for Office Interiors
The dome camera is the most common type in Delhi offices. It sits in a ceiling-mounted hemisphere, is compact and discreet, and does not reveal which direction it is pointing — making it harder for people to avoid coverage.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Mounting | Ceiling — flush or surface mount |
| Coverage angle | 90°–120° fixed; 360° with fisheye lens variant |
| Night vision | Infrared (IR) — up to 20–30 metres range |
| Vandal resistance | Vandal-proof (IK10) models available — recommended for retail and public areas |
| Outdoor use | Yes — with IP66-rated outdoor dome models |
| Price range (Delhi, 2026) | ₹800 – ₹3,500 per camera (2MP–8MP) |
Best for: Office interiors, reception areas, corridors, conference rooms, retail shop floors, bank lobbies, server rooms. Anywhere discretion, aesthetics, and wide-angle coverage matter more than long-range identification.
Not ideal for: Long outdoor perimeter monitoring, car parks requiring long-range identification, areas where a deterrence-visible camera is preferred.
2. Bullet Camera — Best for Entrances and Car Parks
Bullet cameras are cylindrical and wall or pole-mounted — clearly visible, which itself acts as a deterrent. Their elongated body fits a larger lens, giving better long-range performance than a dome. Most are weatherproof for permanent outdoor installation.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Mounting | Wall, pole, or ceiling — directional, fixed angle |
| Range | Up to 50–80 metres with IR (vs 20–30m for dome) |
| Night vision | Powerful IR, often 40–60 metre range; colour night vision available |
| Weatherproofing | IP66/IP67 standard — outdoor-rated |
| Deterrence | High — clearly visible, deliberately so |
| Price range (Delhi, 2026) | ₹900 – ₹4,000 per camera (2MP–8MP) |
Best for: Building entrances, car parks, driveways, loading bays, warehouse perimeter, long corridors, boundary walls. Any area where long-range monitoring and deterrence are priorities.
Not ideal for: Discreet indoor monitoring, aesthetics-sensitive interiors (hotel lobbies, high-end retail), areas without a direct wall or pole mounting point.
3. PTZ Camera — Best for Large Open Areas
PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras can be remotely controlled to rotate, tilt, and zoom — following movement across a large area either by an operator or automatically via AI tracking. One PTZ can cover what four fixed cameras would otherwise cover.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Control | Remote: manual by operator, or automatic AI tracking |
| Coverage | 360° pan, 90° tilt, 20–30× optical zoom |
| Best use case | Large open areas: car parks, factory floors, campuses, malls |
| Requires | Manned control room or AI management system |
| Price range (Delhi, 2026) | ₹8,000 – ₹35,000 per camera |
| Installation cost | Higher — requires PTZ-compatible DVR/NVR |
Best for: Large factories, warehouses, hospital campuses, large car parks, malls, school grounds. Only justify a PTZ where a human operator or AI system will actively use the pan-tilt-zoom — an unmanned PTZ on a preset tour wastes the hardware investment.
Not ideal for: Small offices (overkill), any installation without a monitoring station.
4. Fisheye Camera — Best for Open-Plan Offices
A fisheye camera uses an ultra-wide 180° or 360° lens to cover an entire room with a single unit. The footage is dewarped digitally into a usable flat or panoramic view. One fisheye camera can replace 3–4 dome cameras in the right space.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Coverage | 180° (wall-mount) or 360° (ceiling-mount) |
| Channel usage | 1 camera channel for full-room coverage |
| Resolution | Typically 5MP–12MP for adequate dewarped detail |
| Cabling saving | Significant — one cable instead of 3–4 |
| Limitation | Not suited for long-distance identification; most are indoor only |
| Price range (Delhi, 2026) | ₹3,500 – ₹12,000 per camera |
Best for: Open-plan offices, showrooms, restaurant dining areas, reception lobbies, waiting areas — any square or round room where one ceiling-mounted camera can see the entire space.
Not ideal for: Long corridors, outdoor use, areas requiring facial identification at distance.
5. IP Camera — Best for Scalable Enterprise Installations
IP (Internet Protocol) cameras transmit video over a standard network cable (CAT6) and connect to a Network Video Recorder (NVR) — often PoE-powered (Power over Ethernet), meaning a single cable carries both power and video. IP cameras offer higher resolution, smarter features, and easier long-distance cabling than analogue cameras.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cable type | CAT6 Ethernet — single cable for power + video (PoE) |
| Recorder | NVR (Network Video Recorder) |
| Resolution | 2MP to 12MP+ — sharper than most analogue cameras |
| Smart features | AI person/vehicle detection, face recognition, ANPR, heat maps |
| Scalability | Easy — add cameras to existing network without new cabling |
| Price range (Delhi, 2026) | ₹1,500 – ₹8,000 per camera |
Best for: Offices requiring AI analytics, multi-floor buildings with structured CAT6 cabling, enterprises planning to scale beyond 16 cameras, organisations wanting cloud backup or remote management.
Not ideal for: Budget installations in buildings with existing coaxial cable — analogue HD cameras reuse the existing cable at lower cost.
DVR vs NVR — Which Recording System for a Delhi Office?
The DVR (Digital Video Recorder) or NVR (Network Video Recorder) is the brain of the CCTV system — it records footage, manages storage, and enables remote viewing on your phone. Your choice of cameras determines which recorder you need.
| Feature | DVR System | NVR System |
|---|---|---|
| Camera type | Analogue HD (AHD, HDTVI, HDCVI) — coaxial cable | IP cameras — CAT6 Ethernet cable |
| Cable | Coaxial + separate power cable | Single CAT6 (PoE — power + data) |
| Max resolution | Up to 8MP / 4K | 12MP+ possible |
| Smart features | Basic motion detection | AI person/vehicle detection, face recognition |
| Installation cost | Lower — simpler cabling | Higher — PoE switch needed |
| Best for | Most Delhi offices (4–32 cameras), existing coax buildings | Large offices, multi-floor, enterprise AI analytics |
| Typical cost — 8-camera installed | ₹25,000 – ₹45,000 | ₹45,000 – ₹85,000 |
Recommendation for most Delhi offices: A DVR system with analogue HD cameras covers 95% of requirements at 40–50% lower cost than an equivalent NVR. Only choose NVR if you need AI analytics, 8MP+ cameras throughout, or are planning a 30+ camera network across multiple floors or buildings.

Which CCTV Camera Type Suits Your Delhi Office? — Decision Guide
Use dome cameras for:
- Every indoor area — offices, meeting rooms, reception, corridors, washroom areas (facing entrance only, as legally permitted)
- Server rooms — dome cameras blend in and cover the full room
- Retail shop floors — vandal-proof dome recommended
- Any area where aesthetics matter or you don’t want to advertise camera positions
Use bullet cameras for:
- Main entrance — faces the door, captures clear face images of everyone entering
- Car park and vehicle gate — long-range, identifies number plates at distance with 4MP+ models
- Perimeter wall and boundary — visible deterrence, weatherproof
- Loading bays and back entrances — where outdoor durability and long range matter
Delhi-specific considerations
- Monsoon proofing: All outdoor cameras must be IP66 or higher rated. Delhi’s monsoon season (July–September) eliminates any non-rated outdoor camera within one season.
- Dust: Delhi’s air quality means camera domes and bullet housings collect dust rapidly. Choose cameras with hydrophobic lens coatings — Hikvision AcuSense models have this — and include annual cleaning in your CCTV AMC.
- Summer heat: Cameras on south-facing walls in direct Delhi summer sun (45°C+) need to be rated for operating temperatures up to 60°C. Check the camera’s specifications before mounting.
- Power cuts: Delhi’s frequent power interruptions mean a UPS for the DVR/NVR is essential — without it, the recorder loses footage and may develop HDD errors during sudden shutdowns. A 600VA UPS keeps the DVR running through most short interruptions.
Frequently Asked Questions — CCTV Cameras for Delhi Offices
What is the best CCTV camera for a Delhi office interior?
A 2MP or 4MP dome camera (Hikvision or CP Plus) is the best choice for most Delhi office interiors. 2MP provides clear identification up to 10–15 metres — sufficient for corridors and rooms up to 400 sq ft. Choose 4MP for larger open-plan spaces or where facial identification at distance is important. Indoor dome cameras do not need IP weatherproofing — save that budget for outdoor units.
What is the CCTV camera installation price in Delhi?
CCTV camera installation price in Delhi in 2026 starts from ₹14,000 for a 4-camera system (4 dome cameras, 4-channel DVR, 1TB HDD, all cabling, installed) for a small office. An 8-camera system (6 dome + 2 bullet) with an 8-channel DVR costs ₹22,000–₹38,000 fully installed. CNC provides a free site survey and fixed-price written quote within 24 hours.
What is the difference between DVR and NVR CCTV systems?
A DVR (Digital Video Recorder) works with analogue HD cameras connected via coaxial cable. An NVR (Network Video Recorder) works with IP cameras connected via CAT6 Ethernet (usually PoE — single cable for power and video). DVR systems are cheaper and simpler — suitable for 95% of Delhi office installations. NVR systems offer higher resolution, smarter AI features, and easier expansion across multiple floors, but cost 40–50% more for equivalent camera counts.
How many CCTV cameras does a Delhi office need?
A standard Delhi office of 10–30 staff typically needs 6–8 cameras: 4–6 dome cameras covering the main work area, reception, and server room, plus 1–2 bullet cameras at the main entrance and car park gate. Larger offices, offices with multiple floors, or offices with warehousing add more. CNC conducts a free site survey and draws a camera placement plan showing exactly how many cameras achieve full coverage for your specific layout.
What is the CCTV camera installation price for a housing society in Delhi?
CCTV installation cost in a Delhi housing society depends on the number of entry/exit points, parking areas, lift lobbies, and common areas. A typical RWA installation covers 8–16 cameras (mix of bullet at gates and dome in lobbies) with a 16-channel DVR — ₹35,000–₹70,000 installed. Large complexes with 32+ cameras cost ₹80,000–₹2,00,000+. CNC has done multiple housing society installations across Delhi NCR and can advise on RWA compliance requirements.
Do I need IP cameras or analogue cameras for my Delhi office?
For most Delhi offices with 4–16 cameras in a single building, analogue HD cameras (DVR system) are the better choice — they cost 30–40% less, the installation is simpler, and the image quality at 2MP–4MP is sufficient for indoor monitoring and entrance identification. IP cameras (NVR system) make sense when you need 8MP+ cameras throughout, AI-powered analytics like person/vehicle detection, or are installing across multiple buildings connected by a network.
Can CNC do CCTV installation at night or on weekends in Delhi?
Yes. CNC provides CCTV installation on weekends and evenings in Delhi NCR for offices that cannot interrupt business hours. Many of CNC’s office installations happen on Saturdays or over two evenings — cabling on day one, camera mounting and DVR setup on day two. Same price as weekday installation.
