Number of Cameras and Audio

136
Doubling the number of cameras roughly halves the length of a video archive.

Resolution = 320 x 240. Frame Rate = 1. Quality = 8. Storage = 500 GB.
Audio
At default recording values, adding audio has roughly the same effect as adding 4 cameras.
If enabled, use Table 7-4 and find the number of cameras connected to your unit. Then go
to the next line to find out what the estimated duration is for those cameras with audio
enabled. At higher recording values, audio takes a smaller percentage of the archive.
Scheduling Cameras
Scheduling can lengthen a video archive. One example of effective scheduling is for the
recording of transactions that do not occur 24/7, as shown in
Configuration on page 117.
