• The figures in the Recording Time Table were estimated under ideal recording conditions and may vary
from your actual recording situation.
• In the Recording Time Table, multiply by 2 for recording hours with an 80 GB HDD and 3 for recording
hours with a 120 GB HDD.
• The complexity of the image and the amount of motion recorded greatly influences the recording
capacity of your hard drive (HDD). The higher the frames per second and the higher the video quality
setting, the lower
your HDD recording capacity will be. In the same manner, the lower the frames per second setting and
the lower the video quality setting, the higher your HDD recording capacity will be.
• Note that the lower frame rate does not mean a lower video quality. The video quality remains the same
whether the frames per second setting is set high or low. One frame per second is the same as taking
a photo every second.
• There are several factors that influence the recording capacity of your hard drive.
(a) The number of cameras used
(b) The recording mode – Quad vs. Each
(c) The number of frame recorded per second
(d) The video quality setting – High, Normal or Low
