Your system

Step 1 of 10

New installation, or replacing an existing system?

This answer determines which cameras and recorders are shown, and nothing else. It can be changed at any time.

New installation: new cameras and new cableStandard for new systems

One network cable per camera carries both video and power, so no separate power socket is needed at each camera. This is the standard for new systems.Technical name: IP (PoE) system

Replacement: cable from an older system is in place

Reuses the round coax cable left by an older system, so no new cable needs to be run through the walls.Technical name: Turbo HD (coax) system

How to identify your existing system

Check the cable at an existing camera. Thin, flat cable with a clip connector (like a broadband cable): network system, so select the first option. Round cable ending in a screw-on metal connector: coax, so select the second. No camera fitted yet: select the first.Still unsure? Select either and continue. Compatibility of every part with every other part is checked before purchase, and this answer can be changed later.
