RECORD TIME CALCULATION
 
Please confirm the HDD has been installed when install the GVR3550 for the first time. 
 
HDD Capacity formula is: 
Total Space (M ) = The amount of cameras * Required Time(Hour)* The HDD space occupied per 
hour(M/H) 
 
From the formula above we could conclude the Record Time formula: 
Record Time (hour )= Total Space (M)/The HDD space occupied per hour(M/H)*the amount of 
cameras 
 
The GVR3550 is equipped with MPEG4/H.264 compression technique, its dynamic range is quite large 
thus the HDD capacity calculation requires assessing the file size recorded per hour in each camera 
according to stream. 
e.g.: 
The record in one single camera takes up 2 MB/H per hour; use the GVR3550 to record with synchronous 
12 cameras. 
Record Time (hour)=2*4*1024*1024/200(M/H)*12=3495.25(Hour)
145.6(Day)
