13 Camera Kits: quick answers
How many days of footage will a kit in this range keep?
It depends on the drive and on how many cameras record, at what resolution. As a guide for continuous recording, each terabyte holds about 3 days at 2MP, and about 1 day at 4K for 13 cameras. The median kit in this range is estimated at 28 days. Every kit's card states its own estimate, and motion-only recording keeps footage for longer.
What is the difference between channels and cameras?
Channels are how many cameras the recorder can take; cameras are how many come in the box. Every recorder in this range leaves room for at least 3 more cameras. Spare channels let you add cameras later without changing the recorder.
What is in the box?
An NVR and its matched cameras, checked against each other. Every kit in this range includes a hard drive. The exact contents, every part with its model number, are listed on each kit's own page.
13 Camera Kits: 16-channel systems for full-perimeter coverage
A 13 camera kit pairs a 16-channel NVR or DVR with thirteen cameras, leaving three spare channels for later expansion. This range covers 493 such kits across Hikvision and Prolux hardware, spanning 2MP through 4K resolutions.
Camera formats
Most kits standardise on a single camera type across all 13 units — turret, bullet, or PTZ — for consistent mounting and lensing on site. A small number of kits mix formats: one pairs 1 bullet camera with 12 turret cameras, and another pairs 1 bullet camera with 12 bullet-format units of a different model. Check the exact model codes (e.g. DS-2CD2387G3, DS-2CD1383G2-LIU) against what's on the recorder spec, since some kits pair a specific camera generation with a matching PXN-series recorder.
How to choose
- Resolution — 2MP, 4MP, 5MP and 4K options are all present; higher resolution demands more storage and bandwidth per channel.
- Camera format — turret and bullet suit fixed fields of view; PTZ units add pan/tilt/zoom coverage where the kit specifies it.
- Storage — bundled HDD capacity varies by kit, from 6TB up to 18TB, driven by resolution and retention needs.
- Recorder pairing — some kits specify an exact recorder model (e.g. PXN-5216-16P-4KS2E); confirm this matches your camera generation before ordering spares.
