Enhancing Video
Calculating the Length of the Video Archive
Storing Video, Audio, Data
Recordings of video, audio and data are not permanent. When a unit’s storage fills, the
oldest recorded video, audio and data are replaced with more recent recordings. The
amount of time that recordings are available is known as the length of video storage.
What to Watch Out For
Adding cameras and using high recording rates (such as high resolution and quality
settings for continuous recording) contribute to shorten the storage on a unit. Combining
high settings and many cameras, can shorten a unit’s storage capacity from many weeks
to a few days (see
). If a Rapid Eye unit’s video storage capacity is too short for
your needs, try lowering the resolution and frame rates for continuous recording (see
Recording Video with Continuous Recording Settings
for more information).
Scheduling Cameras can also lengthen the video storage capacity.
Estimates
To make storage length estimates, use Honeywell’s Rapid Eye Storage Estimator that is
installed with the Rapid Eye software. To compare and understand the effect of different
factors on storage, see the tables for Number of Cameras, Audio, Scheduling Cameras,
Frame Rate for Continuous Recording, Quality, and Resolution, in the following sections.
Estimate from a Unit’s Statistics
If a Multi System Administrator (Multi SA) only needs to know roughly how far back in time
video can be obtained, that data is available when running a

Rapid Eye Storage Estimator
The Storage Estimator is installed along with Rapid Eye Admin and View software. To
launch the Estimator:
1.
Select the Start menu
