Number of Cameras, Audio | Honeywell K14392V1 guide

Enhancing Video for Security

Fig. 7–16. Storage Estimator.

Tip

-Use the Rapid Eye Storage Estimator to forecast the length of a unit's video archive.

-Combinations of very high values be assigned only to Event Recording.

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	Duration of Video Archive	Oldest Available Video
(recording)	(estimated, camera-day)	(rounded to shortest time)

1	1153	3 years, 1 month
4	288	9 months
8	144	4 months
12	95	3 months
16	72	2 months
+ audio	57	1 month

* 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.
