Number of Cameras and Audio

134
Doubling the number of cameras roughly halves the length of a video archive.

Resolution = 320 x 240. Frame Rate = 1. Quality = 8. Storage = 500 GB.
Audio
At default recording values, adding audio has roughly the same effect as adding 4 cameras.
If enabled, use and find the number of cameras connected to your unit. Then go
Table 7-4
to the next line to find out what the estimated duration is for those cameras with audio
enabled. At higher recording values, audio takes a smaller percentage of the archive.
Scheduling Cameras
Scheduling can lengthen a video archive. One example of effective scheduling is for the
recording of transactions that do not occur 24/7, as shown in
on page 115.
