5MP CCTV Kits: 4–32 Channel HD-TVI for Installers
At the moment this range includes kits that are ready to send, and they are entirely 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, and Prolux.

Common questions about 5MP 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. Across this range, recorders have from 4 to 16 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?
A DVR 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.
The 5MP Kits range offers complete CCTV systems, each pairing cameras with a recorder and pre-specified storage.
What the range covers
Kits run from 4-channel to 32-channel. Cameras are turret or bullet style, plus white turret options.
How to choose
- Channel count: 4-channel kits suit a single shop unit or small office. 32-channel kits suit warehouses, multi-floor offices and residential blocks.
- Camera style: choose turret or bullet to suit the mounting position and the look of the site.
- Camera model: the kit name states the exact model, so you can match it to your spec.
- Storage: 4-channel kits are listed with 4TB. 32-channel kits are listed with 2× 12TB, 3× 8TB or 2× 8TB, so compare capacity against the retention period your client needs.
