Recording Capacity
The Trooper™ TR4-10 Basic DVR can record for extended periods of time
depending on the image rate (Speed) and Picture Quality. Below are three tables
that show the estimated recording times for different size hard-drives, image rates,
and Picture Qualities, based on a single camera input. With multiple cameras, the
recording rate per camera is equal to the selected Recording Rate divided by the
number of cameras. For example, if the image rate of 60 ips is chosen and there are
three cameras, then each camera will be recorded at 20 ips.
Note that the average image size is dependent on the scene content and the lighting
conditions. Your actual recording times may vary.
