9 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 5 days at 2MP, and about 1 day at 4K for 9 cameras. The median kit in this range is estimated at 36 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 7 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.
9 Camera Kits
Nine-camera kits are pre-matched sets: an NVR/DVR recorder, nine cameras, and cabling, sized so channel count, PoE budget and recording capacity are already balanced for a 9-camera install.
Most kits in this range use a 16-channel recorder, leaving headroom for future camera additions beyond the initial nine. Recording capacity across the range typically runs from 6TB up to 18TB, depending on resolution and retention needs.
Camera resolution varies from 2MP up to 5MP and 4K, and formats include turret, dome and bullet, so the choice depends on the mounting style and image detail the site requires.
How to choose
- Resolution — 2MP suits general coverage; 5MP or 4K suits number-plate or face-detail zones.
- Camera format — turret and dome for discreet indoor/outdoor mounting; bullet for visible deterrent-style coverage.
- Recorder channels — 16-channel recorders in this range give spare capacity beyond nine cameras for later expansion.
- Storage capacity — match TB capacity to resolution and how long footage needs to be retained.
- Mixed-resolution kits — some sets combine one higher-resolution camera with lower-resolution units for a cost-managed layout.
