Determining the memory requirement of a recording
The amount of memory recorded video sequences will take up depends on the following factors:
●
Picture quality
number of images per second
●
duration
●
The memory requirement for 1 camera is calculated by this formula:
Memory requirement = picture size x duration of recording x images per second
Calculation example: CIF resolution (PAL):
Picture
quality
Low 2.4 kB 24 hours 1.04 GB 2.07 GB 5.18 GB
Standard 4.8 kB 24 hours 2.07 GB 4.15 GB 10.37 GB
High 9.6 kB 24 hours 4.15 GB 8.29 GB 20.74 GB
