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)

Spypoint FLEX Cellular trail camera
HD Video and Hi-Res Photos, Day and Night with the Spypoint FLEX…
The Spypoint FLEX offers peace of mind and complete observational control. This camera has been designed to provide the performance and functionalities you require, adapting to your needs and preferences so, come the season, youre more than well-prepared.
LTE Cellular Connectivity with Dual SIM Cards
The Flex uses LTE cellular network connectivity to achieve improved reliability and longevity, removing the need for a Wi-Fi connection and providing more autonomy for the camera in areas where a lack of Wi-Fi signal or electricity supply would make observation impossible. LTE connectivity, the FLEX's dual SIM card system for multi-carrier auto-connectivity, and its optimised antenna provides fast and reliable speeds, as well as significantly greater coverage.
33MP Camera & 1080p Video Recorder
An incredible 33MP camera provides brilliantly detailed and extremely clear colour images by day and black and white images by night. Features a lightning fast 0.3 second trigger speed and a detection range of up to 30m (100ft), with a wide field of view to open up the observation area and detect movement that would otherwise remain undetected. The FLEX also features built-in video recording capabilities, offering 1080p video capture with sound.
Four Capture Modes
The FLEX provides four capture modes to suit your needs, including Photo mode for still image capture, Video mode for video recording with audio, Time-Lapse, and Time-Lapse+ (Time-Lapse+ mode will take photos at user-defined intervals or when the sensor is triggered).
Responsive Trigger
The Spypoint FLEX features a responsive trigger, automatically configuring the camera's settings to match the conditions at the time of photo capture, ensuring the image captured is the best quality it can be, every time.
Firmware Updates
Keep the Spypoint FLEX running on the latest firmware, updating remotely using the Spypoint app, so you can make sure your camera is up to date from the comfort of your armchair.
