The operational question
Hard-drive capacity does not automatically equal a fixed number of days. Resolution, frame rate, compression, bitrate and scene activity change consumption.
Design implications
Continuous recording is predictable; event recording conserves space but depends on well-tuned detection. Evidence requirements should define the strategy.
A better next step
SecureView specifies storage around camera count, quality, schedule and required retention, with allowance for real conditions and expansion.
Information to prepare
- A floor plan or clear property sketch
- Priority areas and required evidence
- Existing equipment, network and power
- Timeline and realistic project budget
