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)

HIKMICRO HM-CQ50L Condor Pro LRF 50mm 680px
The new HIKMICRO Condor LRF Pro thermal monocular is built around the same high performance, SUB 20mk NETD 640x512px thermal sensor that is found in the acclaimed Falcon series but with the addition of a 1000m Laser Range Finder to make it easier to judge the distance to your target, even in complete darkness.
The combination of HIKMICRO’s highly sensitive 640x512px 12um SUB 20 NETD sensor and a high-performance F1.0 lens ensures perfect detail recognition. The 50mm focal length offers the ultimate combination of high resolution and high magnification with 3x base magnification to help detect and identify heat sources at distance. Capable of detecting the smallest details like animal hair, subtle physical characteristics and information like branches and leaves. The Condor delivers a detailed picture of your surroundings and heat sources, even in the most challenging weather conditions.
Utilising an all-new magnesium alloy chassis with ergonomic grip and profiled buttons, the Condor is comfortable and intuitive to use from the first time you pick it up. It is compact in size and can be comfortably be used in one hand and slips easily into a pocket. Powered by a single 18650 battery which delivers 4 hours of run time, the three batteries supplied in the box allow up to 12 hours of continuous use.
The Condor is controlled by the latest HIKMICRO software which includes advanced algorithm options including Image Pro and Zoom Pro which can be used to optimise the sharpness of the image.
The Condor also boasts all of the software features found in other HIK products including a choice of 4 colour pallets and access to the HIKMICRO Sight app which allows you to stream, control and record from your thermal monocular. The built in memory also allows you to save images and videos directly onto the monocular.
