Leasing CCTV Systems for Commercial Property Installers

Security is a top priority for commercial properties. Businesses, warehouses, and office buildings depend on CCTV systems to protect assets, monitor activity, and comply with safety standards. For commercial property installers, offering CCTV leasing options can make advanced security solutions more accessible to clients while creating recurring revenue opportunities.

Why Leasing CCTV Systems Works

• Lower Upfront Costs for Clients – Many businesses can’t afford full installations outright.

• Faster Sales for Installers – Leasing makes it easier to close deals.

• Recurring Revenue – Monthly lease payments create predictable cash flow.

• Upgrade Opportunities – Clients can switch to newer technology at lease-end.

• Tax Benefits – Lease payments may qualify as deductible business expenses.

Types of CCTV Systems Available for Leasing

✔ IP Camera Systems – High-definition cameras with network connectivity.
✔ Analog Systems – Budget-friendly CCTV options.
✔ Wireless CCTV Cameras – Flexible installation for expanding properties.
✔ NVR/DVR Units – Video recorders with cloud backup options.
✔ Access Control Integration – Combine surveillance with security doors and alarms.

Leasing Options for Commercial Property Installers

1. Operating Lease

• Lowest monthly payments.

• Equipment is returned or upgraded at lease-end.

• Great for technology that changes rapidly.

2. Capital Lease (Lease-to-Own)

• Higher monthly payments.

• Ownership transfers at lease-end.

• Best for long-term, permanent installations.

3. Bundled Lease Programs

• Package cameras, recorders, software, and installation into one monthly fee.

• Ideal for simplifying sales to business clients.

Example Leasing Scenario

A commercial installer quotes a client:

• 16-Camera IP System with NVR = $25,000

• Access Control Integration = $10,000

• Installation & Setup = $5,000

Total Project Cost: $40,000

Instead of paying upfront, the client chooses a 5-year operating lease at about $725/month.
The installer closes the deal faster, and the client gains high-level security at an affordable rate.

✔ Market leasing as a selling point—“Upgrade your security for as little as $500/month.”
✔ Bundle maintenance and monitoring services with lease contracts for extra revenue.
✔ Highlight ROI—reduced theft, lower insurance premiums, and compliance.
