2MP 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 just one camera is recording non-stop, every terabyte gives you around 92 days of 2MP footage or around 23 days of 4K footage. On a typical kit here, it's about 61 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. The recorders here have between 4 and 32 channels. 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 £196.00 to £6,021.06 including VAT. The figure on each card is what that kit costs.
2MP CCTV kits: complete DVR/NVR systems in one box
A 2MP kit gives you a recorder plus matching cameras and a hard drive, so you are not left guessing whether parts will work together. "2MP" means each camera records at roughly 1080p resolution — clear enough to identify faces and number plates at sensible distances, without the storage demands of higher-resolution systems.
This range includes both DVR kits (cameras connect by coaxial cable) and NVR kits (cameras connect over network cable, often with PoE — power and data on one cable). Channel counts run from 4 to 16, so kits scale from a small home with a few cameras to a site needing wider coverage.
How to choose
- DVR or NVR — check which camera type is included; DVR kits use analogue-style cameras, NVR kits use network (IP) cameras, and the two are not interchangeable.
- Channel count — match the number of channels to the number of cameras you actually plan to run, with room to add more later.
- Storage capacity — kits come with a pre-fitted hard drive (commonly 4TB or 6TB here); more cameras and higher activity use up storage faster.
- Camera type — some kits include varifocal or PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras rather than fixed lenses, which suits areas needing a wider or adjustable field of view.
2MP Kits — frequently asked questions
What does 2MP mean for CCTV footage?
It refers to the camera's resolution, roughly equivalent to 1080p, which is generally sharp enough to identify faces or number plates at reasonable distances.
What is the difference between a DVR kit and an NVR kit?
DVR kits use analogue-style cameras on coaxial cable, while NVR kits use network cameras, often powered over the same cable via PoE; the two camera types aren't interchangeable.
