1.3. Recording Capacity for DVR Drive Storage
The Trooper TL uses H.264 video compression to maximize the recording time on the
drive. The amount of recorded video varies, depending on the settings for frames per
second (speed), resolution (pixel count), picture quality, and number of cameras being
recorded. The picture quality setting determines the amount a picture is compressed
versus the amount of memory the picture takes up on the drive.
• A lower picture quality of setting 1, for example, means higher compression and a
lower memory requirement.
• A higher picture quality of setting 4, for example, means lower compression and a
higher memory requirement.
