8.2 CALCULATING THE RECORDING CAPACITY OF A HARD DRIVE
While the physical data capacity of a hard drive is fixed, how much video you can record upon
it depends on your recording configurations. Higher quality recordings will take up more space
on the drive and setting the NVR to record for more frequently will fill it up more rapidly.
The chart below shows how long it would take to fill up a hard drive if the NVR was recording
on all channels 24/7.
