Black 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 4MP, 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.
Black Kits: pre-configured 4K CCTV systems in black turret finish
Black Kits are complete recorder-and-camera bundles, all finished in black rather than the standard white/grey housings. The range spans 4, 8 and 32-channel recorders, each paired with a fixed set of black turret cameras and pre-sized hard drive storage.
Channel count does not always equal camera count. An 8-channel kit may ship with 8 cameras or with just 4 (leaving spare channels for later expansion), and the 32-channel kits in this range come with 14, 15 or 16 cameras rather than a full 32 — so always check the listed camera count on the specific kit, not just the recorder's channel rating.
How to choose
- Channel count vs camera count — confirm both figures; spare channels let you add cameras later without a recorder swap.
- Storage capacity — kits are supplied with drives from 6TB up to 3× or 4× 14TB on the larger 32-channel systems; match capacity to retention needs.
- Camera model — most kits use standard black turret cameras, some specify the DS-2CD2387G3 or DS-2CE78U0T-LTS-BLACK variants; check the exact model against your existing estate for spares compatibility.
- Recorder model — some 8 and 4-channel kits specify the IDS-7208HUHI-M1/XT or IDS-7204HUHI recorder; note this if you need part-number matching.
Black Kits — frequently asked questions
Do 32-channel Black Kits always come with 32 cameras?
No — in this range 32-channel kits are supplied with 14, 15 or 16 black turret cameras, so check the exact camera count listed on each kit rather than assuming it matches the channel rating.
What storage capacities are available in Black Kits?
Capacities range from single 6TB or 10TB drives on smaller kits up to 3 or 4 drives of 14TB each on the larger 32-channel systems.
