Number of Cameras, Audio

Doubling the number of cameras roughly halves the length of a unit's video archive.
Table 7–2 Number of Cameras: Effect on the Video Archive*
Camera
(recording)
+ audio
* Resolution = 320 × 240; Frame Rate = 1; Quality = 8; Storage = 500GB.
Audio
At default recording values, adding audio has roughly the same effect as adding 4 cameras. If
enabled, use table 7–2, find the number of cameras connected to the unit and go the next line.
At higher recording values, audio takes a smaller percentage of the archive.

Scheduling Cameras

Scheduling can lengthen a video archive. One key application is for the recording of transactions
that do not occur 24/7, as shown in table 7–3. See

** Business hours, five days a week.
