ອ່ານໃບສະເໜີລາຄາຕິດຕັ້ງກ້ອງແນວໃດ ໃຫ້ປຽບທຽບໄດ້ຖືກ ແລະ ບໍ່ເສຍເງິນຊ້ຳอ่านใบเสนอราคาติดตั้งกล้องอย่างไร ให้เปรียบเทียบได้ถูกและไม่เสียเงินซ้ำHow to read an installation quotation, compare fairly and avoid paying twice

Customers often get several quotations with very different prices. The gap is usually not profit, but what is and is not included.

Eight things to check

• 1. Brand and model: each item should name the brand and model number. "2-megapixel camera" alone cannot be compared.
• 2. Quantities and units: how many cameras, how many rolls or metres of cable.
• 3. Cable: cable type (RG6, Cat6 LAN) and length. Cheap cable causes picture problems later.
• 4. Accessories: conduit, junction boxes, adaptors, cabinet and UPS. Quotes that leave these out often add costs during installation.
• 5. Hard disk: what size, and how many days of recording.
• 6. Labour: per point or lump sum, and whether phone setup and training are included.
• 7. Warranty: how many years for equipment and for labour, and what is covered.
• 8. Payment terms: how much deposit, and when the balance is due.

Often excluded, worth asking about

• Drilling, digging or wall repair
• New power outlets
• Travel outside the city
• VAT
