Resolution

Using higher resolution
Recording video at higher resolutions than default uses up more storage on a Multi-Media unit.
Your organization can decide if it prefers (a) high-resolution video images that remain stored for a
shorter length of time, or (b) low-resolution images that can be stored longer.

Using Higher Values When Recording Video

Effect of using a combination of higher recording values
For Continuous Recording, heightening Resolution, Quality and Frame Rate in combination,
compounds the effect on storage. Examples are shown for one camera and for nine cameras, on a
unit that has 500 GB of storage.
