Rough pricing question

[Joe Bramblett <kd5nrh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm curious about a couple of pricing issues that have come up where I
work.  (contract security - just trying to get an idea of whether the
client is getting decent estimates)

One is for card access - proximity readers, five for the basic package,
one door should be card entry and exit (with a backup exit method, of
course) and the others are card entry, button exit.  The doors are pretty
much opposite ends of the building, about 100-150ft apart, the three
single readers are in a small group, (two within 16ft of each other,
and the third about 30ft away) and the console would be within 30ft of the
one with dual readers. Also, how much is reasonable per extra reader at
time of install and add-on after install? (figure an absolute maximum of
16 readers if system capacity is an issue)

Second is cameras - four pan/tilt/zoom with ~32x zoom, two more fixed for
vehicle entry points, and two fixed face cameras on call boxes by the
vehicle entry points.  All exterior, and the four movable ones would be in
roughly a 150-200ft square, pole mounted for one, building mounted for the
others (all one building) about 20-25ft up. The four fixed would be near
two adjacent corners of the square. DVR/monitors/controls at another
corner, need storage for at least 21 days of video and a second monitor
only for the four fixed cameras roughly in the middle of the square. Fully
configurable motion sensing a bonus. Easy still dump to printer and video
dump to VHS a very nice bonus.  Better still if you could break this down
per camera (with install costs) as there are a few other places we'd love
to have them.

Round numbers are fine...I'm just trying to establish that middle ground
between the guys who might be undercutting more than they could possibly
do it right for, and the ones who will BS the price up well past what it
might reasonably be.

Thanks
