Important - Please read before ordering
This clearance kit has been tested by JMC Secure and works with continuous 24/7 recording. However, it is not plug and play, requires a Windows PC for initial camera configuration, and does not support motion detection, smart events or mobile motion alerts.
Setup also needs some basic networking knowledge, as you'll give each camera a fixed IP address on your network and set its gateway. If terms like IP address and gateway are new to you, this kit may not be the right choice.
If you are comfortable following our setup guide, this kit offers excellent value for a ten-camera 8MP motorised zoom system.
About the KHLIP1032-8MP
This is a 10 camera 8MP IP CCTV kit with ten Kestrel motorised zoom turret cameras, a HiLook 16 channel recorder and a 16 port PoE switch. The recorder records all ten cameras 24/7 in 8MP (4K), and it has six spare channels.
Ten cameras suits bigger sites such as a farm, a commercial unit, a yard or a large property with outbuildings. On a site like that, the motorised zoom earns its keep. Each 3.6-11mm lens can be set wide at 85° to cover open ground, or zoomed in to 43° to focus on a loading door, gate or vehicle entrance further away. You can change the zoom later from the recorder or the HiLook app, without needing a ladder or a cherry picker.
Infrared night vision reaches up to 30m, and the IP66 rated turrets are built for outdoor use. Power and data reach each camera over one network cable from the 16 port PoE switch, which also has six free ports.
Footage records to the hard drives inside the recorder (drives sold separately). You can view it on a monitor over HDMI or VGA, or remotely with the HiLook app. Kestrel's own app service has closed, which is why these cameras come with a HiLook recorder.
This is clearance stock, and I won't be able to get any more Kestrel cameras once it's sold. If you think you'll want more of the same cameras in future, it's worth adding extra cameras to your order now.

How setup works
Kestrel cameras aren't HiLook, so the recorder won't find them on its own, and plugging them straight into the recorder's PoE ports won't work. Setup takes three steps, and each camera only needs doing once.
1
Connect everything
2
Set each camera's IP address
Install Kestrel's free Device Manager on a Windows PC connected to the same network. Use it to give each camera an IP address that matches your router's network, with the gateway set to your router's address.
Download Device Manager (Windows, ZIP)
3
Add them to the recorder
On the recorder, edit a channel for each camera, enter the IP address you gave it and add it using ONVIF.
