1 Camera Kits
At the moment this range includes kits that are ready to send, and they are a mix of IP (PoE) and Turbo HD. Recorders of between 4 and 16 channels, 5MP cameras throughout, and between 500GB and 3TB of storage per kit. In practice, the kit in the middle of this range records for around 23 days without a break before it starts to overwrite its oldest footage; that is an estimate at typical settings. The recorders are made by ANNKE, Dahua, Prolux, and Tiandy.

Common questions about 1 Camera Kits
How many days of footage can I expect from a kit in this range?
Three things decide it: the capacity of the drive, the number of cameras recording, and the resolution they record at. As a rule of thumb, when a single camera records continuously, each terabyte holds roughly 23 days at a resolution of 5MP. For the median kit in this range, the estimate is 23 days. Each kit's card gives its own estimate, and recording only on motion stretches the footage further.
How do channels differ from cameras?
Channels tell you how many cameras a recorder can accept, whereas the camera count tells you how many are supplied with the kit. There is room on every recorder in this range for 3 or more additional cameras. The point of spare channels is that the system can grow by a camera or two with no new recorder.
What does the box contain?
A recorder (an NVR in the IP kits and a DVR in the Turbo HD kits) together with its matched cameras, and the two have been checked to work with each other. A hard drive is supplied with every kit in this range. Each kit's own page lists the exact contents, with every part's model number.
One-camera CCTV kits combine a camera, a recorder and storage for jobs where a single point of coverage is the brief, such as a shop entrance, yard gate or plant room door.
