Before you buy
What customers ask most before ordering from this range — and how we deliver.
How much storage do I need?
As a rule of thumb, four 8MP cameras recording 24/7 with H.265+ use about 2TB for 2 weeks of footage; switch to motion-only recording and that stretches to 4–6 weeks. Our kits ship with a 2TB, 4TB or 6TB surveillance drive and you can upgrade the drive on the kit page before checkout. Tell us how many days you need to keep and we'll recommend the size.
Can I mix different cameras on one NVR, or add more later?
Yes. You can mix 6MP and 8MP, or ColorVu and AcuSense, on the same NVR as long as the total bandwidth stays within the NVR's rating (we check this for every kit we sell). To add cameras later, just plug them into a spare PoE port on the NVR — no reconfiguration needed. This is why we suggest an 8-channel NVR even if you start with 4 cameras.
How long does delivery take?
Order before 2pm (Sydney time) on a business day and in-stock items are dispatched the same day. Metro delivery usually takes 2–4 business days. Regional areas may take longer. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.
How much is shipping?
Standard shipping is free on all orders over $300 AUD, Australia-wide. Orders under $300 ship at a flat rate of $25, calculated at checkout. Tracking is included on every order.
