The required hard disk space will depend on the video settings, the number of network cameras and recording
group settings. Please add more hard disks if you want to extend the system.

imaging parameters, e.g., a complex retail environment that involves many moving objects requires more pixel
data to be transmitted over network than a simple environment such as a parking lot.
