14 Camera Kits: your questions answered
How many days of footage do kits in this range keep?
It comes down to three things: the size of the drive, how many cameras are recording and their resolution. As a rough guide, if 14 cameras are recording non-stop, every terabyte gives you around 6 days of 2MP footage or around 1 day of 4K footage. On a typical kit here, it's about 59 days. Each kit's card shows its own estimate — and if you only record when something moves, footage lasts longer.
Channels and cameras — what's the difference?
Think of channels as how many cameras the recorder will take, and cameras as the number you actually get. Every recorder here can take at least 2 extra cameras. With spare channels, you can add cameras later and keep the same recorder.
What's in the box?
A recorder (an NVR on IP kits or a DVR on Turbo HD ones) plus matching cameras, checked to work together. Every kit here comes with a hard drive. Every part, with its model number, is listed on each kit's own page.
How much do kits in this range cost?
Prices for the in-stock kits here go from £1,103.96 to £4,875.67 including VAT. The figure on each card is what that kit costs.
14 Camera Kits
A 14 camera kit gives large homes, yards and small business sites enough channels to cover most entry points, boundaries and internal areas from a single recorder. This range spans 16-channel and 32-channel systems, so there's headroom to add cameras later without buying a new recorder.
Cameras across these kits are mainly turret, dome, bullet and PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom, for cameras you can steer to follow activity). Resolutions run from 2MP up to 4K, and several kits mix resolutions — for example, pairing a handful of higher-resolution cameras at key entrances with 2MP units elsewhere.
Storage ranges from 5TB to 18TB, pre-fitted in the recorder. More storage generally means longer playback history before older footage is overwritten, though actual retention also depends on recording settings and camera resolution.
How to choose
- Channel count: 16-channel kits suit most 14-camera setups directly; 32-channel kits leave room to add more cameras later.
- Camera type: PTZ cameras cover wide areas by moving; turret and dome cameras are fixed but simpler to manage.
- Resolution: 4K and 5MP give sharper detail for number plates or faces; 2MP is lighter on storage.
- Storage: match TB capacity to how long you need footage kept before it's overwritten.
14 Camera Kits — frequently asked questions
How many recorder channels do I need for 14 cameras?
A 16-channel recorder covers 14 cameras with a little spare capacity; some kits in this range use 32-channel recorders instead, which leave more room to expand later.
What's the difference between PTZ and turret or dome cameras in these kits?
PTZ cameras can be steered to pan, tilt and zoom toward activity, while turret and dome cameras are fixed in one position but generally simpler to set up and maintain.
