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)

Product Overview
LineSplit introduces a revolutionary approach to designing and installing security systems. This module allows for unparalleled flexibility by splitting a single Fibra line into four distinct lines, each extendable by an additional 2,000 meters. Ideal for retrofitting outdated systems without the need to overhaul existing wiring, LineSplit seamlessly integrates into the Ajax ecosystem, offering the usual smart device benefits: app control, event notifications, and remote configuration and testing. Designed to be installed at any juncture within the Fibra line—its ability to function downstream from another LineSplit module emphasizes its versatility. Beyond just dividing the line, LineSplit enables comprehensive coverage across vast areas, suitable for expansive facilities without compromising on the security system's integrity or performance. Energy efficiency is a standout feature, with LineSplit operating on a mere 0.22W at peak times. This low energy consumption, paired with Fibra's TDMA communication principle, ensures minimal power usage while maintaining a high level of system reliability and responsiveness. The module's compatibility with Ajax's Case provides a secure and tamper-resistant housing, further enhancing its installation ease and security. With LineSplit, Ajax Systems continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in wired security system design, offering professionals the tools to create sophisticated, scalable, and secure environments. This module not only simplifies the installation process but also ensures that security systems can grow and adapt to meet changing needs, all while maintaining Ajax's standards of reliability, efficiency, and user-friendliness
