PoE CCTV Kits UK: 4 to 32 Channel IP Systems for Installers
At the moment this range includes kits that are ready to send, and they are entirely IP (PoE). A 4-channel recorder in every kit, 5MP cameras throughout, and 1TB 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 Prolux, and Tiandy.

Common questions about IP (PoE) 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. The recorders in this range all have 4 channels. 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?
An NVR 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.
IP (PoE) kits pair network cameras with an NVR recorder, and PoE means each camera receives power and data over one network cable.
What the range covers
- Recorder size: 8, 16 and 32-channel kits.
- Camera types: 2MP and 4MP turrets, 5MP bullets and 4K turrets.
- PTZ option: many kits add a 4MP PTZ camera.
- Storage: from 500GB up to 12TB.
How to choose
- Channel count: match the recorder to the number of cameras the site needs now, with spare channels if you expect to extend later.
- Resolution: 4MP, 5MP and 4K kits give more detail than 2MP, and higher resolution generally needs more storage.
- Camera style: turret or bullet for fixed views at shop fronts, offices and warehouse doors; a PTZ for wider areas such as yards and car parks.
- Storage: compare the 4TB, 6TB and 12TB kits against camera count and the retention period your client needs.
IP (PoE) Kits — frequently asked questions
What does PoE mean in a CCTV kit?
Power over Ethernet delivers power and video data to each IP camera over a single network cable, so no separate power supply is needed at the camera.
Which channel counts are available?
The range includes 8, 16 and 32-channel kits, so you can match the recorder to the number of cameras on the job.
Are PTZ cameras included in any kits?
Yes, several kits include a 4MP PTZ camera alongside turret or bullet cameras.
How much recording storage do the kits include?
Kits range from 500GB to 12TB, with 4TB, 6TB and 12TB options among the multi-camera kits.
