Appendix C: Record Duration

User’s Manual

Appendix C: Record Duration

The record duration relates to recording rate, image quality, HDD capacity, and event settings. The following tables give sample calculation of record duration according to different recording rate, image quality, and HDD capacity, excluding consideration of events, for different models with different recording mode. The recording quality refers to the Normal Qlty setting of <Per Camera Config> in <Record Setting>, assuming all channel are set to the same quality at all times.

	Per Camera Config
Cameral Select	Day		CH1
	Day	Night	Weekend
Normal PPS	7.5	7.5	7.5
Normal Qlty	Mid	Mid	Mid
Event Max PPS	30	30	30
Event Qlty	Best	Best	Best
Event Act	Both	Both	Both

NOTE: Record duration times are based on actual tests and represent average file sizes. Performance may vary depending on specific installations and use. Audio recording requires 8 KB per second (or 0.7 GB per day) for data storage.

Please refer to our recording time calculator on the Speco website for other possible calculations. http://www.Specotech.com Æ Support Æ Tools

Refer to the following tables for some samples of estimated recording duration of different record modes in H.264 compression.
