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).

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)

The HIKMICRO Falcon FQ50L 2.0 is the pinnacle of thermal imaging performance, offering advanced detection capabilities in a classically styled, ergonomic cylindrical body. Equipped with an integrated Laser Rangefinder (LRF), it accurately measures distances up to 1000 metres with ±1 metre precision, ideal for hunters requiring reliable data in the field.
Built around a highly sensitive <15mK NETD thermal sensor, the FQ50L 2.0 delivers outstanding image clarity, even in fog, rain, or complete darkness. Its 640x512 12μm VOx uncooled detector, combined with a fast f/0.9 50mm lens, ensures unmatched detection range and image detail. With HIKMICRO’s Shutterless Image System (HSIS) and upgraded Image Pro and Zoom Pro algorithms, this monocular delivers ultra-fluid, high-definition visuals without interruptions, allowing you to stay focused when it matters most.
From its tactile rear focus wheel and enlarged OLED display to the lightweight magnesium alloy body, every feature of the FQ50L 2.0 is built for immersive, intuitive operation. Smart features like video recording, Wi-Fi connectivity, adjustable colour palettes, and a 6-hour+ rechargeable battery make it a versatile companion in any environment, from open fields to dense woodland.
