CCTV Kits — FAQs
What retention do kits in this range give?
Retention depends on drive size, camera count and recording resolution. Per TB, continuous, single camera: 5MP ≈ 46 days. Median for the range: 46 days. Every card carries the kit's own estimate; record on motion only for longer retention.
Channels vs cameras?
Channels = the cameras a recorder can take; cameras = what ships in the box. Recorders in the range run 4 to 16 channels. Spare channels mean expansion later without swapping the recorder.
What ships in the box?
A recorder (NVR on IP kits, DVR on Turbo HD) plus matched cameras, cross-checked. Every kit in the range ships with an HDD. Full contents with model numbers are on each kit page.
CCTV Kits: pre-matched recorder, camera and storage bundles
A CCTV kit pairs a DVR or NVR with a set number of cameras and a pre-sized hard drive, so channel count, PoE budget and storage are already resolved as one part. This range spans 4, 8, 16 and 32-channel recorders from Dahua, Longse, Tiandy and Prolux, with analogue (DVR/HD-TVI) and network (NVR/PoE) builds paired to 2MP–4K cameras.
How to choose
- Channel count vs cameras fitted: pick a recorder with headroom for future additions, not just the current camera count.
- DVR vs NVR: DVR kits (Prolux, Dahua XVR) use coax HD-TVI cameras; NVR kits (Longse, Tiandy) run PoE IP cameras over a single network cable per camera.
- PoE-enabled recorders: recorders with built-in PoE ports remove the need for separate injectors.
- Camera resolution: mixed 2MP, 4MP, 5MP and 4K cameras across the range — match resolution to storage, since higher resolution consumes drive capacity faster.
- Storage supplied: pre-fitted HDDs from 6TB to 14TB come bundled per kit.
CCTV Kits — frequently asked questions
How does a DVR kit differ from an NVR kit?
DVR kits use coax-connected HD-TVI cameras, while NVR kits use IP cameras over network cable, often with PoE ports built into the recorder for single-cable power and data.
Do these kits include a hard drive?
Yes, each kit in this range comes with a pre-fitted HDD, sized from 6TB up to 14TB depending on the model.
Can I add more cameras than are included in the kit?
Most recorders support more channels than the cameras supplied out of the box, leaving spare channels for expansion, though this depends on the specific model.
