Appendix B 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

channel needed for every hour, unit Mbyte.

that is the capacity of each

÷ 8 × 3600 ÷ 1024

In the formula:

means the bit rate, unit Kbit/s

Step 2: After video time requirement is confirmed, according to Formula (2) to calculate the

storage capacity

, which is storage of each channel needed unit Mbyte.

In the formula:

means the recording time for each day (hour)

means number of days for which the video shall be kept

Step 3: According to Formula (3) to calculate total capacity (accumulation)

that is needed for

all channels in the DVR during scheduled video recording.

In the formula:

c means total number of channels in one DVR
