Appendix B Calculate Recording Capacity
Users can calculate the required size of hard disk according to the total recording duration and DVR recording settings. The
DVR uses fixed video bit rate. The below are the details at different settings for CBR.

Medium 7M

Lowest 1.5M

The calculation format is: Total Recording capacity =Used space per hour (MB/h) (coverage rate of hard disk) ×
recording time (hour) ×channel numbers
For instance, one customer uses PAL cameras, set resolution to 1080P, video quality to Lowest, frame rate to 25 fps for
enabling total 4 channels. He wants the unit to record continuously in a month. Below is the calculation:
Total Recoding capacity =675 (mb/h) X 24(hours/day) X30(days) X4(channels)= 1944000 (MB)≈1898(GB)
Therefore, customers need to install two SATA HDDs with 1000GB for one month record.
