VK-64_SysManual_Ev21.book 20 ページ２００９年３月２日月曜日午後１時３分 System Design Concept Required Hard Disk Capacity The size of the images varies depending on the configuration of the Camera Server (the settings for Quality and Resolution) and the complexity of the actual image. Determining Required Hard Disk Capacity Determine the required hard disk capacity as follows. 1. Determine the required number of Camera Servers and required video data size. 2. Select the Image Quality of each Camera Server.
