5MP 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 5MP, and about 11 days at 4K for one camera. 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. Recorders in this range have 4 to 32 channels. Spare channels let you add cameras later without changing the recorder.
What is in the box?
A recorder (an NVR for IP kits, a DVR for Turbo HD) 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.
5MP CCTV kits: DVR/NVR, cameras and HDD in one part number
A 5MP kit bundles a recorder, matched 5MP cameras and a hard drive under a single SKU, so the whole job spec's from one line. This range spans 8-channel and 16-channel DVR and NVR kits, with camera counts from two to three per kit and 6TB HDDs fitted as standard across the listed sets.
How to choose
- Channel count — 8-channel kits (Prolux PXD-5208AN-4KL-X-8P, Dahua DH-XVR5108H-4KL-X-8P, XVR-3108HS-5MP-LITE) suit smaller sites; 16-channel kits (Hikvision IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT, XVR-3116HS-5MP-LITE, Prolux PXD-8216-HYK4MP) leave headroom for future cameras.
- DVR vs NVR — DVR kits here run HD-analogue Hikvision turret/bullet cameras (e.g. DS-2CE78K0T-LTS, DS-2CE76H0T-ITMFS); the Longse NVR3016E1P8 kit instead pairs an NVR with an IP-based Hikvision DS-2CD1053G0-IUF camera.
- Camera model/lens — check the exact model string: fixed-lens cameras like the Viper VIPER-5MP-3K-AOC-WHITE-2.8MM state focal length in the part number, while others (DS-2CE12KF0T-LFS, DS-2CE72KF3T-PIRXO) carry different lens or PIR configurations.
- Cross-brand pairing — several DVR kits use Hikvision cameras behind Dahua or Prolux recorders, so confirm protocol compatibility before mixing generations further.
All listed kits ship with a 6TB HDD as the recording drive.
