The cost for security cameras is listed separately from other expenditures.

The estimated cost for security cameras ranges from $6,000 to $8,000. These costs are to be agreed upon and paid to vendors as agreed. This investment is part of the broader range of expenses a new franchisee can expect when starting the business.
