Estimated pricing
$450–$900 per stereo pair / zone
Priced per stereo pair / zone. This is a planning range, not a quote.
Project ranges include labor and standard installation materials unless a listing says otherwise. Hourly rates are labor only, and equipment you supply (such as chargers, fixtures or fans) is not included. Permit fees and sales tax are additional. Estimates are free, including on-site visits.
Electrical work may require openings in walls or ceilings. Drywall patching, texture, and painting are not included and must be arranged with others.
What an electrician evaluates first

- Test continuity and operation
Access and disruption
Cable routing can need small openings; attics and crawlspaces help.
Permits and inspection
New circuits, equipment changes and most wiring alterations normally need an electrical permit and inspection. In Washington, Labor & Industries issues electrical permits except in cities that run their own electrical program, so the permitting authority depends on the property address rather than the mailing city. True confirms the correct authority before work starts. Permit fees are additional to the estimate.
Helpful, safe photos
The equipment location, router or network closet, and the intended device spots. Only photograph what is safely visible — never remove electrical covers.

Questions
Do you set up camera and doorbell apps?
Yes. Mounting, wiring, app setup and connecting the device to your Wi-Fi are included. If a home network problem prevents the connection, that needs to be resolved by the homeowner. Alarm monitoring services are not offered.
Can cameras be powered by network cable?
PoE cameras receive power and data through one cable from a PoE switch or injector.
