3 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 3 cameras are recording non-stop, every terabyte gives you around 30 days of 2MP footage or around 7 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. Every recorder here can take at least 1 extra camera. 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 £390.49 to £1,605.05 including VAT. The figure on each card is what that kit costs.
3 camera CCTV kits: what's in the range
A 3 camera kit gives you a recorder, three cameras and a hard drive pre-matched to work together, which suits a typical house exterior — front, back and side/driveway.
Kits here mix DVR and NVR recorders. DVR kits (Dahua, Prolux, Hikvision DVR models) use analogue-style HD cameras over coax; NVR kits use IP cameras over network cable, often PoE-powered so one cable carries both power and video. Camera types vary within a kit: fixed bullet or turret cameras cover a set angle, while PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras can be moved to follow activity or scan a wider area.
How to choose
- Recorder type: match to how you want to cable the site — coax for DVR kits, network cable for NVR/PoE kits.
- Camera mix: some kits pair fixed bullet/turret cameras with one PTZ for a movable view; others use three fixed cameras for static coverage.
- Resolution: kits in this range span 2MP up to 4K, affecting how much detail you get when footage is zoomed in.
- Storage: pre-fitted hard drives range from 2TB to 4TB, which sets how long footage is typically retained before it's overwritten.
- Channel count: recorders have spare channels (8, 16 or 32) beyond the three included cameras, useful if you plan to add more later.
3 Camera Kits — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a DVR and an NVR kit?
DVR kits use HD cameras connected by coax cable, while NVR kits use IP cameras over network cable, often powered over that same cable (PoE).
Will three cameras cover a typical house?
Three cameras commonly cover front, back and one side or driveway view, though exact coverage depends on camera placement and lens angle.
