4MP 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 46 days of 4MP footage or around 23 days 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. 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 £294.28 to £6,325.93 including VAT. The figure on each card is what that kit costs.
4MP CCTV kits: complete systems, ready to record
A 4MP kit pairs a recorder (DVR or NVR) with matching cameras and a hard drive, so the resolution, cabling type and storage are already matched for you. This range spans DVR kits (coaxial cameras, often PoC — power and video on one cable) and NVR kits (PoE network cameras, power and data on one cable), from 4-channel two-camera sets up to 8-channel setups with three cameras and larger drives.
How to choose
- DVR or NVR — DVR kits here use coax/PoC cameras; NVR kits use PoE network cameras. Check which cabling suits your build (new cable run vs reusing existing coax).
- Channels vs cameras supplied — a 4-channel recorder leaves room to add cameras later even if the kit ships with two; an 8-channel kit here comes with three cameras, leaving further spare channels.
- Storage size — kits are supplied with either a 4TB or 10TB hard drive; more storage means longer recording history before older footage is overwritten.
- Camera type — most kits use fixed-lens turret/bullet cameras, but one option includes a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera for wider coverage from a single point.
- Lens/varifocal options — some cameras offer a fixed lens while others are varifocal (adjustable zoom), useful for covering longer driveways or entrances.
Match recorder brand and camera compatibility before buying, since mixed kits pair specific recorder and camera models together.
4MP Kits — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a DVR and an NVR kit in this range?
DVR kits here use coax-cabled cameras (often PoC, power and video on one cable), while NVR kits use PoE network cameras carrying power and data together.
How much hard drive storage do these kits include?
Kits in this range come with either a 4TB or 10TB hard drive already fitted, with larger drives generally allowing a longer recording history before footage is overwritten.
