4MP Camera Kits

(21 products)

A 4MP camera kit gives sharp, efficient 2K resolution on a PoE NVR — a practical balance of image detail and storage use that suits general home and small-business coverage where you don't need plate-readable detail at distance. Because 4MP uses less drive space than higher resolutions, you get more days of footage on the same drive. For most entries, yards and shorter approaches it's enough; step up only where the distances genuinely call for it.

Security Cameras Australia stocks the 4MP kit range. Every kit is genuine Australian stock with full manufacturer warranty, and footage records locally to the NVR — you own it, with no monthly subscription.

For more detail at distance see the 6MP and 8MP / 4K kits, or browse all kits in Security Camera Systems.

Why a 4MP kit

  • Clear image, efficient storage. 4MP (2K) gives a usable, sharp picture while using less drive space than higher resolutions — more days of footage on the same drive.
  • Right-sized for general coverage. Ideal for entries, yards and shorter approaches where you don't need plate-readable detail at distance.
  • Records locally, no subscription. Footage stays on the NVR on your premises — you own it, with no monthly fee.

Is 4MP the right resolution for you?

4MP is enough for general perimeter on most properties. Step up to 6MP for more identification headroom, or 8MP / 4K only where you need to read faces or plates at distance. The honest answer: match resolution to your viewing distances rather than buying the biggest number — and put any saving toward better features (AcuSense, ColorVu) where they matter.

What's in a 4MP kit

Frequently Asked Questions about 4MP Camera Kits

Is 4MP enough for a home or small business?

For general perimeter coverage on most properties — entries, yards, shorter approaches — yes. 4MP (often called 2K) gives a clear, usable image and uses less storage than higher resolutions, so you get more days of footage on the same drive. The honest answer: don't pay for more megapixels than your viewing distances need. Step up only where you must read faces or plates at distance.

4MP vs 6MP vs 8MP — how do I choose?

Match resolution to viewing distance, not to the biggest number. 4MP suits general and shorter-range coverage; 6MP is the popular all-round step up with more identification headroom; 8MP / 4K is for long distances and plate-readable detail. Higher resolution also uses more storage, so size the drive accordingly.

How much storage does a 4MP kit use?

Less than 6MP or 4K for the same retention, which is part of 4MP's appeal. As a rough guide with H.265+, four 4MP cameras at ~30-day retention fit comfortably on an 8 TB surveillance drive. Tell us the camera count and target days and we'll confirm the size.

Do these kits record without a subscription?

Yes. Footage records to the hard drive in the NVR on your premises — no cloud fee, no monthly subscription, and you own the footage. Free remote viewing via the app; you only need an internet connection at the NVR.

Can I install a 4MP kit myself?

Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable from the NVR that carries power and data (PoE) — no separate power at the camera. The cable run is the real work. Single-storey homes with accessible roof-space paths are a sensible DIY job; two-storey and commercial sites are usually better done professionally. We can refer a licensed installer.
