Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 2MP and 5MP security cameras?
2MP (1080p) cameras capture video at 1920×1080 resolution, suitable for general surveillance. 5MP cameras record at 2560×1944 resolution — providing 2.5x more detail, making it easier to identify faces, license plates, and small objects at greater distances.
How many cameras do I need for my home?
For a typical home, a 4-channel system covers front door, back door, garage, and one side entrance. For larger properties or businesses, an 8-channel or 16-channel system provides comprehensive coverage.
Does this CCTV system work at night?
Yes. Each camera includes built-in infrared (IR) LEDs that automatically activate in low-light conditions, providing clear footage up to 20 meters (65 feet) in complete darkness.
Can I view my security cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. Download the free Hieasy app on your iOS or Android smartphone, connect the DVR to your network, and scan the QR code to add the device. View live feeds and receive motion alerts from anywhere.
What hard drive size do I need for continuous recording?
With H.265+ compression, a 1TB hard drive stores approximately 15-20 days from 4 cameras at 5MP. A 4TB drive extends this to 60-80 days. The DVR supports up to 8TB SATA hard drives.
