3MP 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 23 days at 3MP for one camera. The median kit in this range is estimated at 23 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 has 4 channels. Spare channels let you add cameras later without changing the recorder.
What is in the box?
A DVR 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.
What's in this range
3MP Kits bundle 3MP bullet and turret cameras from HiLook and Hikvision with a recorder and pre-configured storage, so the channel count, camera mix and drive capacity are fixed at the point of sale rather than assembled piecemeal.
Camera resolution varies within many kits: several combine 3MP cameras with 4MP, 5MP or 4K units on the same recorder, so check the exact camera breakdown listed per kit rather than assuming a uniform 3MP set.
Recording capacity is kit-specific. Options seen across the range include single 10TB, 12TB and 14TB configurations on 16-channel kits, and 2×12TB on at least one 16-channel 4K/3MP kit. The 32-channel kit listed carries 2×10TB. Several 16-channel kits specify an IDS-7216HQHI recorder; no recorder model is confirmed for the 32-channel kit.
How to choose
- Channel count — match to the number of cameras you need to run now plus spare inputs for future cameras.
- Camera mix — confirm how many cameras are 3MP versus 4MP/5MP/4K in that specific kit listing.
- Storage capacity — check whether the kit ships with a single drive or a dual-drive array, and the exact capacity stated.
- Recorder model — where specified (e.g. IDS-7216HQHI on several 16-channel kits), confirm it suits your existing HiLook/Hikvision setup.
3MP Kits — frequently asked questions
Do all 3MP kits use only 3MP cameras?
No — many kits mix 3MP cameras with 4MP, 5MP or 4K cameras on the same recorder, so check the camera breakdown listed for each specific kit.
What storage capacities are available?
Kit-specific: options include single 10TB, 12TB and 14TB drives on 16-channel kits, 2×12TB on at least one 16-channel kit, and 2×10TB on the 32-channel kit listed.
Which recorder do these kits use?
Several 16-channel kits specify an IDS-7216HQHI recorder; other kits in the range do not list a confirmed recorder model.
