HIKVISION IP Security Camera Package & Security Surveillance System

STYLE: Select between Dome, Turret and Bullet Security Cameras. Dome & Turret blend in and don't stand out as much which are perfect for indoors but can be used outdoors for a concealed approach. If you want to deter criminals we recommend using bullet cameras outdoors as they are very noticeable and offer better sun protection.

QUALITY: Basic home security cameras you buy from retail shops are around 2MP (1080p), Moving up to 4MP is your first step to a quality image. 8MP cameras are extremely high quality and are the same as 4K. You will actually need a 4K monitor or TV to see the difference in quality though. If you want something in between, go with the 6MP cameras.

FIXED vs MOTORISED: This is the focal or field of view of the cameras. A Fixed 2.8mm camera will give you wide field of view but you wont be suitable for long-distance more than 30m . 4-6mm will give you a medium-range field of view and a medium range of distance around the 25-50m. 12mm will have a narrow field of view but will be suitable for long-distance viewing. If you are unsure what to chose, get a motorized camera and you can change the field of view from short to long-range when you set it up, these are more expensive but offer great versatility to get the perfect image for each location.

NIGHT VISION: This is known as Infrared or "IR" and allows you to see a black and white image even when there is absolutely no light. If you have light in the area (street lights, security lights) then you will get a colour image where there is light.
EXAMPLE: You will see cameras with 30M IR , this means you have 30 meters of infrared night vision when there is no light.

If you are mounting to the ceiling and running cables through the ceiling you may not need a mounting bracket but if you are mounting to the wall or pole you will need a mounting bracket.

Select the pre-connected Cat5e cables in 10m, 20m, 30m or buy a 305m box and cut your own to size then add 2x RJ45 connectors per cable/camera (1 for each end). If you are going to cut your own cable to size you will need a Cat 5/6 crimping tool for the connectors.

If you are using 8MP / 4K cameras you will need a 4K TV or monitor to actually see the 4K quality. Monitors are a great way to see the cameras and review footage. The more cameras you have the bigger the monitor you will need.
