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

Very High 14.4 kB 24 hours 6.22 GB 12.44 GB 31.10 GB
