Appendix A HDD Capacity Calculation

Calculate total capacity needed by each DVR according to video recording (video
recording type and video file storage time).
Step 1: According to Formula (1) to calculate storage capacity
each channel needed for each hour, unit Mbyte.
Step 2: After video time requirement is confirmed, according to Formula (2) to calculate
m
the storage capacity
kept
Step 3: According to Formula (3) to calculate total capacity (accumulation)
needed for all channels in the DVR during scheduled video recording.
Step 4: According to Formula (4) to calculate total capacity (accumulation)
needed for all channels in DVR during alarm video recording (including motion
detection).
You can refer to the following sheet for the file size in one hour per channel. (All the data
