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 RG-ES110FG-P — 8-Port PoE+ Unmanaged Switch with 2 Gigabit Uplinks
The Ruijie RG-ES110FG-P is a robust, fanless, desktop-style Ethernet switch designed to power and manage multiple network devices with ease. Featuring 8 × 10/100 Mbps PoE+ ports and 2 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit uplink ports, this switch provides flexible connectivity and reliable performance for CCTV, access points, IP phones, or other PoE-powered devices.
Thanks to its total PoE power budget of up to 110 W (with up to 30 W per port), the RG-ES110FG-P can supply sufficient power to multiple devices simultaneously — ideal for small offices, retail environments, or home-automation infrastructure. Its plug-and-play design means no configuration is needed; simply connect devices and power, and the switch manages PoE automatically, detecting and powering compliant devices per IEEE 802.3af/at.
Housed in a sturdy metal case and designed without a fan, the unit runs silently and reliably, with internal protection for surge and ESD events. It supports various operational modes — including standard, port-isolation (for extra security), and “Extend” mode for extended transmission distances (up to approx. 200 m over Cat-5e or better cable). With a switching capacity of 5.6 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 4.17 Mpps, it ensures smooth data flow even under multi-device loads.
Compact yet powerful, the RG-ES110FG-P is a practical choice for creating a clean, scalable network backbone — whether you need PoE for cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones, or simply want to expand your wired network with reliable gigabit uplinks.
