For a small shop or kiosk, a 4-channel kit is usually enough: one camera on the door, one on the till, one on the stock and one on the back. Choose clear cameras at the door and till, add a surveillance-grade hard disk and a UPS, and put the recorder somewhere thieves cannot reach. Check the camera field of view against your shop before you buy.
Key takeaways
- A 4-channel kit covers most small shops.
- Door, till, stock and back.

06Frequently asked questions
Is a 4-camera kit enough for a small shop?
For a small shop it usually is, if the cameras are placed on the door, till, stock and back. Larger layouts need 8.
Do I need a hard disk?
Most kits need one; choose a surveillance-grade disk for continuous recording.
What if the power goes out?
A small UPS keeps the recorder running and prevents corrupted recordings.
