Using Higher Values When Recording Video

138
Recording video at higher resolutions than the default value uses up more storage on a
Multi-Media unit. Your organization can decide if it prefers high resolution video images that
are stored for a shorter length of time, or low resolution images that can be stored longer.

PAL images are larger than NTSC and require more storage. This accounts for a
shorter archive.
Note See Rapid Eye Storage Estimator
Honeywell estimating tool.
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.
