Frame Rate for Continuous Recording
shows how higher frame rates can reduce the length of a video archive. For more
cameras, divide the time of the archive by the number of cameras.
Quality
Video Compression (Quality)
A higher Quality setting means less video compression is used for recording, shortening
the length of the video archive (see
). For example, setting Quality to 10 uses up
almost twice as much storage as a setting of 6.
At sites where storage is at a premium, you can lower the recording quality to six
compression units.
shows that this quality setting can give you about 25% more
storage while leaving the other settings unchanged.
Pan, Tilt, and Zoom
Recording a video feed from a camera that is constantly panning requires much more
storage space. If the duration of your video archive is a concern, Honeywell recommends
that you reconsider if constant panning is necessary to your security needs. See
.
