Ruijie Reyee RG-ES126S-LP V2 26-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged PoE+ Rackmount Switch (180W PoE Budget)
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)

Ruijie Reyee RG-ES126S-LP V2 26-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged PoE+ Rackmount Switch (180W PoE Budget)
The RG-ES126S-LP V2 is a professional unmanaged PoE switch built for video surveillance and small-to-medium network deployments. It provides 24 × 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet PoE+ ports for powering and connecting devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points, along with 2 × Gigabit uplink ports (including 1 Gigabit RJ45 and 1 Gigabit combo SFP port) for high-speed backbone connectivity. Each PoE port supports IEEE 802.3af/at standards with up to 30W per port, while the switch delivers a total PoE power budget of 180W, allowing multiple devices to run simultaneously over a single Ethernet cable. This makes it highly suitable for structured CCTV installations where both power and data are required centrally. The switch supports multiple working modes via DIP switch, including Standard mode, Flow control off mode, and VLAN/Port isolation mode, which helps reduce broadcast traffic and improves security between connected devices. For reliability, the RG-ES126S-LP V2 includes intelligent PoE management, large buffer architecture for smooth data transmission, line-rate forwarding, and 6kV surge protection, ensuring stable operation in demanding environments such as CCTV monitoring systems and retail deployments.
