Eight genuine ANNKE 3K cameras, an eight-channel PoE recorder and 6TB surveillance storage in one clearly specified kit. This HawkVision Pro bundle pairs eight white ANNKE AC500 I51ES 3K/5MP turret cameras with one ANNKE N98PBK PoE NVR and a Seagate SkyHawk ST6000VX008 hard drive. It suits a home, shop or small business that needs wired coverage across eight camera positions.
Why buy this eight-camera system from HawkVision Pro?
Buy genuine ANNKE products from an ANNKE Authorised Sales Partner, with named components and practical UK buying advice. We put the cameras, recorder and surveillance storage together so you can budget for the main equipment in one place. Tell us about your entrances, lighting, cable routes and required recording period; we can help you check the selection before you order.
This is a HawkVision Pro component bundle, rather than a separate ANNKE factory kit model. The supplied cameras are 3K/5MP. The recorder's higher input-resolution capacity does not make them 12MP cameras.
Exactly what is included?
| Component | Quantity | Role |
|---|---|---|
| ANNKE AC500 I51ES 3K/5MP camera | 8 | White PoE turret cameras with dual-light night imaging, human/vehicle detection and two-way audio |
| ANNKE N98PBK 8-channel PoE NVR | 1 | Eight PoE camera connections and local video recording |
| Seagate SkyHawk ST6000VX008 | 1 | 6TB surveillance hard drive for recorder storage |
Not included: Ethernet camera cables, monitor or TV, extra junction boxes or brackets, and professional installation. Contact us about hard-drive fitting or configuration before ordering if required. Product images illustrate the specified equipment; installation arrangements depend on your property.
Key features and practical benefits
- Eight wired views: plan coverage around entrances, access routes and other important areas instead of relying on a single wide view.
- 3K camera detail: camera placement and lighting remain essential when you need usable evidence at a particular distance.
- PoE connections: Ethernet carries power and network traffic between each camera and the recorder, simplifying cable planning.
- Local storage: footage is recorded to the included 6TB surveillance drive. Set the retention period and overwrite policy to suit your needs.
- Camera smart detection and audio: the I51ES supports human/vehicle detection and two-way audio. Check the required recorder/app workflow before relying on a particular function.
- Eight channels fully allocated: this kit uses the recorder's eight channels. Choose a larger NVR now if you anticipate additional cameras.
Recorder capacity and installation checks
The N98PBK provides eight PoE ports, 80Mbps incoming bandwidth, H.265/H.264-family recording support, HDMI output up to 4K and a single SATA hard-drive bay. A 4K display output describes the recorder's monitor connection, not the resolution of the included cameras. Recorder revisions and firmware can differ; check the exact advanced function you need with us.
Plan the total camera bitrate within the NVR's bandwidth and check the PoE power budget. The ability to record multiple streams does not guarantee simultaneous full-resolution playback of all eight views. Position the NVR indoors, leave ventilation space and secure access to the recordings.
Choose genuine all-copper cable for PoE
For a new PoE CCTV installation, we recommend genuine all-copper Cat6 cable with correctly terminated connectors. Copper-clad aluminium is not the same as all-copper cable. Cable quality, conductor size, distance, terminations and the route affect dependable PoE operation. Properly specified Cat5e can also support these cameras; resolution alone does not require Cat6.
Choose custom-length copper Ethernet cable
Cables are sold separately. Measure each route, allow sensible termination slack and choose outdoor-rated cable where the route requires it. Discuss longer runs and any intermediate network equipment before purchasing.
How much recording can 6TB hold?
Retention depends on the average bitrate across all eight cameras. The following estimates assume continuous recording, a nominal 6TB drive and no extra overhead. They are planning examples, not guaranteed retention times.
| Average per camera | Eight-camera total | Approximate days |
|---|---|---|
| 2Mbps | 16Mbps | 34.7 |
| 4Mbps | 32Mbps | 17.4 |
| 6Mbps | 48Mbps | 11.6 |
Formatting, reserved space, audio and other overheads reduce usable retention. Variable bitrate, compression, motion-triggered schedules and scene activity change the result. Check actual storage use after installation and adjust settings to meet your required retention period.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is included in this 8-camera CCTV kit?
The bundle contains eight genuine ANNKE I51ES white 3K/5MP PoE turret cameras, one ANNKE N98PBK 8-channel PoE NVR and one Seagate SkyHawk ST6000VX008 6TB surveillance hard drive. Network cables, a monitor, installation and extra mounting accessories are separate.
Are the cameras 3K, 4K or 12MP?
The supplied I51ES cameras are 3K/5MP models. The N98PBK recorder's higher input-resolution capability does not change the cameras' native image resolution. This is a 3K camera kit.
Can I add a ninth camera later?
All eight recording channels are allocated when the eight included cameras are connected. An extra PoE switch does not increase the recorder's channel limit. Choose a 16-channel system if you expect to expand beyond eight cameras.
Are these original ANNKE products?
Yes. HawkVision Pro supplies genuine ANNKE recording equipment and cameras as an ANNKE Authorised Sales Partner. The included hard drive is a genuine Seagate SkyHawk surveillance drive. This is a HawkVision Pro component bundle with the exact models listed above.
Do I need separate power supplies for the cameras?
Each camera can receive power and video connectivity through its Ethernet connection to the recorder's PoE ports. The NVR itself needs mains power. Correct cable termination, suitable cable length and the total PoE power budget still matter.
Which cable should I use for PoE CCTV?
We recommend correctly terminated, genuine all-copper Cat6 for a new wired CCTV installation. Avoid copper-clad aluminium (CCA) for PoE. Properly specified Cat5e can also carry these cameras; high image resolution alone does not make Cat6 mandatory. Select cable suitable for the route, including outdoor exposure where relevant.
How long will eight cameras record on the 6TB hard drive?
At an illustrative average of 4Mbps per camera, eight cameras produce 32Mbps in total. A nominal 6TB drive would hold about 17.4 days of continuous footage before formatting, reserved space, audio and other overheads. Actual retention depends on recording settings, scene activity and the recording schedule.
Does recording need the internet or a cloud subscription?
Local recording to the included hard drive can operate without an internet connection or a cloud recording subscription. Remote access needs a configured network and internet connection. App availability and optional services are governed by their current terms.
Do the cameras have two-way audio and smart detection?
The I51ES camera provides two-way audio and human/vehicle detection. The availability of individual alarm, audio and remote-control functions through the recorder or app depends on firmware and configuration. Tell us which functions you need so we can check the complete workflow before you order.
Is colour night vision always active?
The camera's dual-light design combines infrared and white illumination. Colour at night depends on the selected mode and available light; infrared operation produces a monochrome image. Position cameras to limit glare, reflections and disturbance from white lighting.
Can the cameras be installed outside?
The cameras have IP67-rated housings. Protect the Ethernet connections, use suitable cable and weatherproof mounting accessories, and keep the NVR and hard drive indoors in a dry, ventilated location. A camera's ingress rating does not weatherproof an exposed cable joint.
Is the hard drive fitted or the system preconfigured?
A 6TB hard drive is included in the equipment price. Fitting, configuration and professional installation are not promised as part of this listing; contact us if you need these services before ordering.
Do you deliver throughout the UK?
HawkVision Pro serves UK customers and this bundle qualifies for free standard UK tracked delivery under our current shipping policy. Check destination coverage and dispatch details in the shipping policy, or contact us about a time-critical order.
Need more than eight cameras?
Compare our PoE NVR recorders and CCTV bundles, including the 13-camera 4K kit with a 16-channel recorder and 6TB storage. Choose the recorder's channel capacity around your expected future camera count.
