One cable per camera, and nothing depends on the Wi-Fi holding up · review
An eight-channel 4K kit with the recorder and the drive in the box. Loocam states 8 MP cameras, H.265+ compression and a 2 TB drive already fitted, with person detection and push alerts.
The conclusion The cheapest complete wired system here, and complete is the operative word. Buy it for the drive in the box and the spare channels.
A wired kit is what people buy after a battery camera has already disappointed them. There is no charging, no Wi-Fi contention, and — the part that matters most — the recorder keeps working when the internet does not.
Four 8 MP cameras, an eight-channel recorder, a 2 TB drive already fitted. The listing does not say whether network cables are supplied: count them. Matching parts are the reason kits exist: a system assembled from parts needs a recorder, a drive, cameras that match it and cable of the right specification, and getting one of those wrong is a weekend.
2 TB sounds enormous and is not, at 4K. Loocam states H.265+ compression, which it puts at twice the efficiency of H.264, and that genuinely extends retention — but continuous recording from four 4K cameras is measured in days rather than weeks. If you need a month of history, record on events rather than continuously, or plan a larger drive.
Cable. One run per camera, from wherever the recorder lives to wherever each camera goes, through walls or under eaves. It is the whole difficulty of a wired system and no kit removes it. What it buys is a system that does not drop off the network in February.
A first wired installation on a normal house, where having everything in one box is worth more than the last increment of image processing.

Fewer than most buyers expect. Continuous 4K recording consumes storage quickly, and the honest answer depends on how many cameras run continuously and how much movement they see. Loocam states H.265+ roughly doubles efficiency against H.264, which helps — but plan retention in days, and lower the frame rate or record on events if you need weeks.
No, and the spare channels are the point. Adding a camera to a four-channel recorder means replacing the recorder; adding one here means running a cable. The extra channels cost very little at purchase and a great deal later.
Yes. That is the structural advantage of a wired system: the recorder and the cameras are on your own cable, and they keep recording when the broadband is down. Remote viewing needs the internet; recording does not.
