CCTV Lens Guide

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

Hard Drive Size Guide

The amount of hard drive space you require is dictated by how many cameras, as well as their resolution and frame rate settings. 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.

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 a minimum of 2 Terabytes per 4 x 2-4MP HD cameras, as this should give you 2 weeks to a month with a few adjustments on motion detected recording. You may only require the full 25 frames per second on certain cameras if things are fast moving.

(All of our hard drives come fitted and are CCTV specific from one of the major brands)

I bought this NVR in conjunction with two turret 5mp Vale cameras (a separate review for the cameras has also been written). Overall, I was very impressed with the product. Audible noise from the unit was not too bad and from a single (small) fan cooling the CPU.

Setup was fine though had a bit of trouble with the initial stages. In my case, I was connecting the NVR to an HDMI monitor that didn't work. In the end, I decided to set the NVR via the web browser, once I figured out the default IP address was actually 192.167.1.50 (i.e. not as given in the manual). Via the web browser, you are then able to change the video output setting so as to be compatible with the monitor.

I bought a separate 2.5" SSD (2TB) which for the two cameras purchased was enough for 10-14 days of continuous recording at high quality, variable bit rate and 20 FPS. I reckon this could be extended to 4 weeks with further refinement. The NVR is designed for a single 3.5" disk but there are sufficient holes in the base to secure a 2.5" disk in place.

The NVR works seemlessly with the Vale cameras purchased, so I'm very happy with the purchase made. Furthermore, the phone/ tablet app works well and is well designed.

The NVR web browser gives loads of options and advanced features though most of these I have not experimented with. Interesting features include face detection and body count (though these are probably specific to the camera itself). The web app also informs you of the storage space left and the voltage drawn per PPPoe socket. For the Vale cameras I bought, this NVR is able to power 4 cameras with significant power to spare. A useful NVR related option (which is presumably standard for all NVRs) is the ability to automatically overwrite the oldest footage once the hard drive is full.

I bought this along with two Vale 5MP cameras (for which I have also written a review for on cctvkits website) and the appropriate junction boxes (which are essential to house the ethernet connector if you can't have this situated inside).

I opted for a 2TB SSD so simply bought the NVR without any hard disk (at the time CCTVkits were only offering the NVR with pre-installed mechanical disks
(i.e. standard hard disk drives)). As I wanted a low maintenance system, I opted for a slightly expensive 2TB SSD.

The NVR is of good quality and relatively easy to setup. Initially, I had trouble setting this up since I couldn't get a feed to an (hdmi) monitor. Eventually, I setup the NVR via the web browser once I figured out the default IP address was 192.172.1.50. once in, you can then change the video output option to HDMI at 1080p. With hindsight, had I connected the monitor using the VGA connector, this may well have worked first time.

Apart from this initial setup hiccup, all subsequent experience has been excellent. Access to the footage is best via the phone,/tablet app which is very easy to use. Note, make sure you set up the cameras using the QR codes that are stuck on the body of the camera (so do this before you install the camera up high on the wall!).

With 2TB if storage and saving footage continuously from two 5MP cameras at 20fps, with a variable bit rate and at the almost the best quality available, I was able to get 10-14 days of footage. Options in the NVR allow you to then over write the oldest footage, so I essentially get the last two weeks of footage. Obviously, opting for a larger HDD will extend this (cctvkits offers an option to have 6TB disk installed so enough for 4-6 weeks with my setup). With only 2TB I reckon I could extend to 4 weeks relatively easily though by modifying the options available to me (framerate, optimising area of interest, bit rate and possibly motion detection during some or all of the day).

The web browser gives you a lot of detail (e.g. the voltage drawn from the cameras attached and hard disk space remaining,) and loads of advanced features I haven't got round to trying (face detection sounds like a neat feature). Audible noise from the NVR is okay. There is a single fan inside situated above the NVR cpu which makes a bit of noise but it is not that noticeable really.
