Pricing approach

One quote. No per‑camera meter.

You pay for a one-time setup and a flat monthly fee sized to your site, about $300 a month for a typical site. You own the hardware. We quote after the gap map so the numbers match your real buildings.

Three parts, one quote.

Step 1

Gap map

Start here

A written map of what you have, what is missing and the path to go live. You can use it with us or without us.

Step 2

Setup

One itemized quote

The Pioneer computer, any storage you need for your retention choice, configuration, network separation and a staff walkthrough. If physical work is needed, the installer's line is shown separately.

Step 3

Support

About $300 a month per typical site

Updates, backup checks, remote support and monitoring of the system's health. Required with every install. A campus is quoted by buildings, cameras and doors.

The principles

How we price.

  • No per-camera license. Adding a camera does not add a recurring charge.
  • You own the hardware and your video.
  • Itemized. Hardware, labor and support are separate lines.
  • Sized to the site. A single school and a multi-building campus are quoted differently.
  • Ongoing support is required. A system nobody maintains is the problem we are solving.

Compare it to your current bill

Bring us your renewal.

If you pay a cloud camera or access platform today, send us your latest renewal quote. We will put it next to a Pioneer quote line by line, including the parts that are not directly comparable. We do not publish a savings figure because it depends entirely on what you pay now.

Good to know

Related costs.

  • Long video retention needs disk. A Mac mini alone is the brain, not a 60-day archive for many cameras. We size storage or use your existing recorder.
  • New hardware only when needed. A full rebuild with new cameras and wiring is an option when your gear is thin. It is not the default.
  • Grants may offset some costs in some years. See funding.
