Appendix 3. Hard Disk capability calculation

Make sure the hard disk installed to install the DVR for the first time. Pay attention to the IDE hard

disk lines connection.

1、 Hard disk capability

There is no limit for recording machine. We recommend 120G~2000G size to keep better

stability.

2、 Overall capability option

The hard disk capability formula is:

Overall capability(M)=channel number*time(hour)*capability in an hour(M/hour)

The recording time formula is:

Recording time(hour)=

The video files in each channel need 200M capability in an hour. For 4 channels and one month

(24hours a day) the needed hard disk capability is: 4channel*30days*24hours*200M/hour=576G. So it

will need one 500G hard disks.

overall capability(M)

Capability in an hour(M/hour)*channel number

The DVR introduces the MPEG4/H.264 compression technology. Its dynamic range is very

large so the hard disk capability calculation is based on the estimation values of each channel

creating files in an hour.
