NOTE
The ips (images per second) of the above table is not the configured recording speed per camera, but
the total number of recorded images per second. The values of the table represent the average case,
therefore it is not guaranteed, and it might be decreased while recording audio. Minimum 500 MB of
hard disk drive space a day for one channel is required for audio recording.
The SISTORE AX has a maximum recording speed of 200 images for PAL (240 images for NTSC) per
second (ips) with standard resolution and 100 images for PAL (120 images for NTSC) per second (ips)
with high resolution that will be applied globally depending on the number of cameras recorded.
