 Audio recording affects video storage capacity: Audio is recorded to the associated camera’s
database. Therefore, it is important to bear in mind that the database is likely to become full
earlier if you record audio and video than if you only record video. The fact that the database
becomes full is not in itself a problem since your system automatically archives (see "About

archiving space if you record audio.
o Example: If you use MPEG4, each one-second video GOP (Group Of Pictures) are stored
in one record in the database. Each second of audio will also be stored in one record in the
database. This reduces the database’s video storage capacity to half its capacity, because
