Before you buy
Right for a house.
2of 8 channels in use
The 2 cameras in the box use 2 of the 8 channels on the recorder. So there are 6 channels left over if you want more cameras later.
Adding cameras later? First make sure the recorder handles their resolution and has enough recording bandwidth, and that a power or PoE port is free for each one.
Around 46 days of footage
There is 2TB of storage in the box.
Your choice
You can open the builder with this kit already loaded, then swap the cameras, pick a bigger drive or choose longer cables. It checks each change for you, so everything you end up with will work together.

Six more analogue cameras, as the recorder has eight channels and two are used.
Yes. The cameras have built-in microphones, working over coax with a recorder that supports it.
Two cameras now and six spare channels later: this set starts small on an 8-channel recorder. It fits a front door and a back door or a gate, and the black housings keep the look discreet.
These 3K turrets (2960 × 1665) combine white light and infrared, each reaching 40 metres, so you pick colour or discreet night views. A built-in microphone sends sound down the coax when the recorder supports audio over coax.
In the box: the 8-channel iDS-7208HQHI-M1/XT recorder; 2 3K Smart Hybrid Light ColorVu audio turret cameras; 2 RG59 BNC video leads of 20m, each with a DC power tail; a 12V 3A power supply with a 4-way splitter; a 1.5m HDMI cable and a 2TB hard drive, already fitted. You provide a monitor with an HDMI input and a place to mount each camera. The recorder takes HDTVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS and IP inputs, records up to 5MP Lite or 3K Lite at 12 frames per second and has one SATA bay for up to 10TB.
Fitting is straightforward. Mount the 2 cameras, run each 20m lead back to the recorder, plug the power tails into the supplied power supply and connect a monitor over HDMI. Check the camera type on the recorder at first set-up, then set the recording schedule.
To grow later, add cameras to the free inputs. Compare the 2 camera kits.

In the box
Recording around the clock in H.265, that holds roughly 46 days of footage. Our sum allows 1 Mbps for each camera of 2MP or less, 2 Mbps for each one above that up to 5MP, and 4 Mbps for each one sharper than 5MP, added together when the cameras are not all the same model. Your own settings, how busy each view is and how much of the drive is usable all change the true number. With motion-only recording, it comes down to how often something moves in view.
Coax (HD analogue) system
Plugs into the coax cable already in your walls.
First, look over the box list: it names the power supplies, cables and mounting parts included. Then plan where each camera goes and how long each cable needs to be, because knowing how many cameras you have does not tell you what they will cover. At every spot, check what the lens can see, the lighting, and how exposed the camera will be to the weather.
