To extend the recording time on the Swann 16CH DVR, you can:
1. Lower the Recording Quality – Selecting a lower quality setting (e.g., Basic or Normal instead of Best) increases recording time. 2. Reduce the Frame Rate – Lowering the frames per second (IPS) setting extends storage capacity. 3. Use CIF Resolution – CIF resolution requires less storage compared to higher resolutions. 4. Adjust Motion Detection Settings – Enabling motion-activated recording instead of continuous recording saves storage. 5. Increase Hard Drive Capacity – Adding a larger or additional hard drive allows for longer recording durations. 6. Optimize Recording Schedule – Set specific recording times instead of 24/7 recording.
These adjustments help maximize storage and extend recording time.
