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-RAP62-OD — Outdoor / Indoor Wi-Fi 6 Dual-Band Access Point
The Ruijie RG-RAP62-OD is a versatile outdoor-rated access point built to deliver fast and reliable Wi-Fi, whether mounted on a wall or a pole. With dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), it supports modern wireless standards and handles a high number of connected devices, making it suitable for outdoor areas, large homes, retail premises, or public-space networks.
It offers combined wireless speeds up to 2,974 Mbps (573 Mbps on 2.4 GHz + 2401 Mbps on 5 GHz) and uses 2×2 MU-MIMO for both bands, enabling stable, high-throughput connections for multiple clients at once. A single Gigabit Ethernet port provides backhaul connectivity, and the unit supports PoE (802.3af/at) as well as passive 24 V/48 V PoE power input, making installation flexible and straightforward.
The RG-RAP62-OD is built for tough conditions: its housing is rated IP65, offering water- and dust-resistance and enabling deployment outdoors even in challenging weather. It also includes surge and ESD protection for greater resilience.
It supports advanced features including mesh networking, roaming (with 802.11k/v/r and AI-assisted roaming), VLANs, multiple SSIDs, captive-portal support, and cloud or local management — giving you enterprise-class flexibility and security.
