Is $5,655 reasonable for an 8-camera IP security system installation?

I'm trying to understand the real-world pricing of a professionally installed 8-camera IP surveillance system.

Example:

• 8 IP cameras

• NVR

• PoE switch

• Cabling and materials

• Around 24 labor hours

Assume the equipment + materials + labor cost is roughly $4,350.

Would a customer price of $5,655 sound reasonable, too low, or too high?

I'm particularly interested in how installers account for warranty work, callbacks and overhead when pricing jobs like this.
