4K 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 23 days of 4K footage. On a typical kit here, it's about 56 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 £254.17 to £8,006.92 including VAT. The figure on each card is what that kit costs.
4K Kits: complete DVR/NVR systems with cameras and storage
A 4K kit pairs a recorder (DVR or NVR) with matching 4K cameras and a hard drive, so everything works together out of the box. This range spans 4-channel to 32-channel systems, with either DVR kits (using coax-style cameras, e.g. Hikvision's DS-2CE78U0T-LPTS or DS-2CE78U1T-IT3F) or NVR kits (using IP cameras, e.g. DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL or DS-2CD1383G2-LIU), and pre-fitted HDDs from 4TB to 6TB.
"4K" here refers to the camera's resolution (roughly 8 megapixels), giving sharper detail for identifying faces or number plates than standard HD.
How to choose
- Channels needed: kits range from 4-channel (small home) up to 32-channel (larger premises); pick a recorder with at least as many channels as cameras you plan to run, plus spare for expansion.
- DVR vs NVR: DVR kits use coax cameras (e.g. ANNKE, Dahua, Hikvision, Prolux DVR models); NVR kits use PoE IP cameras (e.g. HiLook, Hikvision NVR models) — check which camera type suits your cabling.
- Cameras included: kits ship with 1, 2 or 6 cameras as standard; add more later if the channel count allows.
- Storage size: pre-installed HDDs range from 4TB to 6TB — larger drives hold more recorded footage before older files are overwritten.
4K Kits — frequently asked questions
What does '4K' mean on these kits?
It refers to the camera resolution, around 8 megapixels, which gives more detail than standard HD footage — useful for identifying faces or number plates.
What's the difference between a DVR kit and an NVR kit?
DVR kits use coax-cable cameras such as the Hikvision DS-2CE78U0T-LPTS, while NVR kits use PoE IP cameras such as the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL; the cabling and camera type differ, so check which suits your property.
