Unless selecting a vari-focal camera (with an adjustable lens) It is important to select the correct camera lens option for where the camera is to be positioned. A smaller lens will give you a wider angle but will be "zoomed out more", while a bigger lens will narrow the angle down and "zoom in more". See below to give you some idea on angles of Megapixel HD Cameras:
| Lens in mm | Approx Viewing Angle (degrees) | Ideal Distance (metres) | Typical usage/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 | 106 | <6 | For seeing as much of the immediate area as possible such as above a doorway/low down/garage soffits (edges can appear slightly warped/distorted) - clearly "zoomed out" |
| 3.6/4 | 83-90 | <12 | A great general purpose option giving great coverage still in the corner of a room or higher up on second floor soffits with less distortion - more of a natural "zoom" |
| 6 | 56 | 6-20 | Narrows down the angle and zooms in to look past the immediate area a little to gain more detail - down a driveway for example from higher up |
| 12 | 24 | 20+ | Zooms in significantly more to look at a gate, entrance or adjascent building |
| 16 | 19 | 24+ | As above but more so |
The amount of hard drive space you require is dictated by how many cameras, as well as their resolution, frame rate settings, and whether you have H.265 encoding enabled or not to save space (We advise turning it on to double the capacity shown below with ease).
Finally, you can often make your storage space last a lot longer by enabling motion-detected recording rather than continuous, especially if there are long periods of no activity (to perhaps double or more these figures again).

Resolution (Megapixels) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per camera (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (50% motion- 15 frames per second) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 44 | 11 | 36 |
| 2 | 22 | 5 | 18 |
| 3 | 17 | 4 | 14 |
| 4 | 11 | 3 | 9 |
| 5 | 9 | 2 | 8 |
| 6 | 8 | 2 | 6 |
| 8 (4K) | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 12 | 4 | 0.5 | 3 |
As a rule of thumb, we recommend 2 Terabytes for a 4 x 4/5MP HD camera setup, as this should give you approx 2 weeks using H.265 @ 20fps and that is on continuous, not motion-detected recording.
(You may only require the full 25 frames per second on certain cameras if things are fast-moving - ie above a till)

This HDMI Extender includes - transmitter unit (TX) and a receiver unit(RX), working as a pair. It allows transmission and extension of uncompressed full HD 1080p@60Hz HDMI signal via CAT5e and CAT6/6A/7 network cable, the transmission distance is up to 60 meters using CAT6E and 40m using CAT5e cable with zero latency. At the same time, the signal is stable, and the built-in EDID greatly improves the compatibility of the device. It supports keyboard & mouse remote control, also it supports POC to power the sender (Connect the power supply to the transmitter, each unit will power up, as the unit powers through the network cable).
· Uncompressed transmits HDMI video and audio signals up to:-
60M over a single CAT6 cable, 40m over CAT5e
· Supports video resolution up to 1920*1080@60Hz, 3D signal
· Supports keyboard and mouse remote control
· Built-in EDID function, so you can match display devices
· Support POC unilateral power supply, need 1pc 5V power to TX
· Compliance with HDMI 1.3 and HDCP 1.2 standard
· Ethernet cables with a standard IEEE - 568b connection, convenient installation
· High compatibility, can auto-match source and display device
