Continuous Recording and Event Recording

Estimating Storage Capacity

82
To use event recording, set different values for the Resolution, Frame Rate and Quality from
those for continuous recording. See
Authority
The settings for recording video are made by your organization's Multi-Media System
Administrator (Multi SA) or by a user with the Modify Configuration right in their account.
A Multi SA can consult View operators, security personnel and IT managers to find out if:
• The recorded video is satisfactory for the needs of your organization.
• The settings do not shorten the video archive to the point of making it unusable.
Report
The values selected on the Recording tab are also shown on the Video tab.
As higher values for Frame Rate, Resolution and Quality are set, the amount of time that
video, audio and data can be stored in a unit (the video archive) shortens. The Estimated
Storage Capacity reports a useful forecast (in days) of the capacity of the video archive.
See
Figure 5-4.
Unit Video Archive Length
The Event Recording Duty Cycle can add more precision to the estimate of the unit's
video archive. Base the duty cycle on how often events and operators will be using the
Event Recording settings (% of recording time). The estimated length of the video archive
is shown (in days) next to the Event Recording Duty Cycle.
