how much would be reasonable to charge a small insurance agency business to set up 2 CCTV cameras, they have all the equipment and running the cables should be easy too, its just those fake ceilings.

What do you all think?

If you're just basically run cabling, I would personally charge $20 a drop or $20/hour, either one.

$20 a drop is kind of cheap, actually really cheap.

I was thinking around $120-150

for a roughly 2-3 hour job.

It would also include configuring for online viewing remotly.

CCTV installations are pretty inflated,

My friend was getting charged $3000 to wire cameras to his new big house.
A 8 camera system, the guy im working with, Security analyst at the college where I worked, did it for half the price $1500.

and the equipment cost around $800, it was a generic equipment, that he says is very reliable and has used for many years already.

I do alot of consulting and trust me don't do a flat rate, you never know what your going to run into until you actually get into it. I know I would charge $50 an hour myself to do something like this but if your just starting out maybe try $30/hour

Oh my mistake then. I was interpreting the situation as a basic job that it would be mainly physical labour. That the insurance company just needed someone to run a cable and plug everything in.
