3MP 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 3MP footage or around 23 days of 4K footage. On a typical kit here, it's about 58 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 DVR 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 £142.33 to £4,482.05 including VAT. The figure on each card is what that kit costs.
A 3MP CCTV kit gives you a matched set of cameras and a recorder in one range, so you're not guessing which parts work together. This 3MP Kits range covers 16-channel Hikvision & HiLook systems, mostly mixing 3MP bullet or turret cameras with higher-resolution models (4MP, 5MP or 4K) on the same recorder, plus a range of recording capacities.
How to choose
- Camera count and mix: kits here range from 8 cameras up to 16, and several blend 3MP units with 5MP, 4MP or 4K cameras for extra detail on key areas.
- Camera type: turret and bullet styles are both listed; turrets suit indoor or covered spots, bullets suit general outdoor coverage.
- Recording capacity: storage sizes vary by kit, from 10TB up to configurations listing 2× 10TB or 2× 12TB — meaning two drives fitted for extra capacity, not two recorders.
- Recorder model: kits are built around named 16-channel recorders such as the IDS-7216HUHI and IDS-7216HQHI.
Match the channel count to how many cameras you actually need to cover your property, and check the recording capacity suits how long you want footage kept before it's overwritten.
3MP Kits — frequently asked questions
What does a 3MP CCTV kit include?
Each kit in this range pairs a set number of cameras (often mixing 3MP with 4MP, 5MP or 4K models) with a named 16-channel recorder and a stated recording capacity.
Do any kits have two recorders?
No. Kits listing '2× 10TB' or '2× 12TB' have two hard drives fitted in a single recorder for extra storage, not two separate recorders.
What's the difference between bullet and turret cameras in these kits?
Both are camera housing styles included across this range; the kit descriptions specify which type and how many are fitted.
