![]() ![]() You’ll need to ensure that you have sufficient space available to store the recorded footage for your desired time period to avoid having to repurchase and reinstall storage solutions at a later date. One of the key decisions you’ll need to make when purchasing a surveillance system is that of storage space. This guide explains the variables involved, what our recommended Surveillance Hard Drive is and why, and how you can calculate your requirements once you have some cameras in mind: The smallest I-Series NVR is the DS-7608NI-I2-8P, to which you can connect 8 cameras and 2 hard drives.ġTB per camera storage sounds reasonable too, but this can totally vary depending on the resolutions of the cameras you go for and settings used. These are the most futureproof NVRs and they still receive firmware updates and are the model on which multiple AcuSense or 8MP cameras will work reliably. I'd be inclined to opt for one of the IR cameras rather than ColorVu if the visible built-in light is a concern, as it's difficult to know if this will ever be needed until the camera is deployed.įor the NVR, any I-Series model is always our recommendation. This camera will generate a monochrome image in full resolution using it's invisible IR LEDs, but also does have Darkfighter technology, which also helps with low-light colour imaging (although not as specialised as the ColorVu range). The DS-2CD2386G2-IU is a model that we commonly recommend, and the 8MP resolution will definitely be beneficial if the camera is mounted high and covering a larger space. ColorVu is the way to go if achieving a colour image at night is your priority. ![]() ![]() Otherwise, it will call on its built-in light. The ColorVu ranges are best for generating a low-light image (and will do so in darker scenes than the Darkfighter cameras), but you do still need some ambient light (at least a few streetlights), as mentions, for it to work. Hi depends what your main requirements from the camera are. I'm basically asking what would you experts recommend to me in terms of poe camera (both ColorVue and DarkFighter) and also NVR? I have been told to allow for 1tb per camera for event-based recording? an 8K DS-2CD2386G2-IU, or does it completely depend on the amount of ambient light (I've seen this video but it has a fair amount of light source)? I also don't want to pay massive amounts of money where it isn't really required. I was wondering whether even with it disabled, would something like a 4MP DS-2CD2347G2-LU be better than e.g. I was going to go straight for the ColorVu but for various reasons I am not allowed to have the white light enabled. I've been looking at the Dark Fighter (not 'powered by') and the ColorVu and would like to use all the smart new features with an NVR I'm putting them in the Soffit so will get turret or dome (without glass) I'm looking to buy my first (3) cameras and have been recommended Hikvision and am getting PoE put in. ![]()
