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)

Required hardware AXIS TU6007-E Cable, AXIS TU6004-E Cable, AXIS TU6005 Plenum Cable, AXIS F21 Sensor Unit, AXIS F41 Sensor Unit, AXIS F7225-RE Pinhole SensorAXIS F9114 Main Unit is designed for use with sensors and cables from AXIS F Modular Camera Series. With SMA-FAKRA connectors it withstands vibrations and ensures a ruggedized installation. It supports 1080p at 30 fps or 720p at 60 fps.
Smart features
This 4-channel main unit offers flexible installation and requires only one video management software (VMS) license. When installed in emergency vehicles and buses, the ignition control functionality with controlled shutdown ensures you don’t drain the vehicle’s battery. It offers Axis Zipstream with support for H.264 and H.265 for reduced storage and bandwidth requirements without compromising image quality. Furthermore, built-in cybersecurity features prevent unauthorized access and safeguard your system. For instance, Axis Edge Vault protects your Axis device ID and simplifies authorization of Axis devices on your network.
High performance
AXIS F9114 delivers high-quality video even in challenging and low light conditions. It supports four HDTV 1080p video streams at 30 fps or 720p video streams at up to 60 fps. Forensic WDR provides clarity when there’s both dark and light areas in the scene. Plus, Lightfinder captures sharp, color images in low light. Furthermore, with support for two-way audio and I/O it’s possible to connect a digital or analog microphone allowing you to listen in and trigger audio warnings.
Maximum flexibility
Based on a divided network camera concept, AXIS F9114 Main Unit allows for maximum flexibility where both the sensor unit as well as cable type and length are chosen based on your needs. Both sensors and cables available from Axis use SMA-FAKRA connectors to withstand vibrations and ensure rugged installations.
