The calculation format is: Total Recording capacity =Used space per hour (MB/h) (coverage rate of hard disk) × recording time
(hour) ×channel numbers
For instance, one customer uses PAL cameras, set resolution to 1080P, video quality to Lowest, frame rate to 6 fps for enabling total 8
channels. He wants the unit to record continuously in a month. Below is the calculation:
Total Recoding capacity =169 (mb/h) X 24(hours/day) X30(days) X8(channels)=
973440
(MB)≈950(GB)
Therefore, customers need to install one SATA HDDs with 1TB for one month record.
