6 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 6 cameras are recording non-stop, every terabyte gives you around 15 days of 2MP footage or around 3 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 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 £506.64 to £3,066.52 including VAT. The figure on each card is what that kit costs.
6 Camera Kits
A 6 camera kit covers most medium-sized homes and small business premises: enough views for a front, back, side, and internal approach without buying channels you won't use. This range spans both NVR (network video recorder, works with IP cameras over cabling that also carries power) and DVR (digital video recorder, works with analogue-style HD cameras over coax) systems, so the recorder type is the first thing to check.
Camera resolution varies across the range too, from 2MP up to 4K, and recorders come with pre-paired hard drives sized from 1TB up to 10TB.
How to choose
- Recorder type: NVR kits use IP cameras over network cabling; DVR kits use coax-based cameras — check which matches any wiring you already have.
- Channel count vs cameras used: several kits here use 8, 16, or 32-channel recorders with only 6 cameras connected, leaving room to add more later.
- Storage size: drives range from 1TB to 10TB — larger drives generally hold more recorded footage before older clips are overwritten.
- Camera resolution: choose 2MP, 4MP, or 4K depending on how much detail you need from a scene.
6 Camera Kits — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an NVR and a DVR kit?
An NVR kit uses IP cameras connected over network cabling, while a DVR kit uses HD analogue-style cameras connected over coax; the two aren't interchangeable, so check which cabling you have or plan to install.
Do I need a 16 or 32-channel recorder for 6 cameras?
Not necessarily — several kits in this range pair a higher-channel recorder (such as 16 or 32 channels) with 6 cameras, which simply leaves spare channels for adding cameras later.
How much hard drive storage do I need?
This depends on how long you want to keep footage before it's overwritten; kits here come with drives from 1TB up to 10TB, with larger drives generally storing more recording history.
