So in other words soundy all we can do are predictions on how long would it take till the hard disk fills? In summary the size of the recording in each second will depend on the settings such as Frame rate, resolution, compression method the DVR is using, record type if it's continuous or motion detect, the complexity of the scene, and many more. Do you have a computation table soundy? By experience is it ok if you share some stories ?

Thank you for correcting me buddy... I am new to this field and I'm glad to find this forum I can learn a lot. Our DVR's uses MPEG4, H.264, and MJPEG. So that means that we cannot really tell how big the size of an image is? Because we have lot of factors to consider. In other words what we can only tell are predections? Can you give me an example with the same variables I mentioned earlier adding my codec is MPEG4 without an audio and I have 2TB of HDD space how long will it take until the DVR fills the hard disk? I'm assuming that it will take 15 to 20 days.

for example I have a CIF resolution of 352x240 and 15fraps at a quality of Very High and I have continuous record. I understand as well that the images per frame varies depending on the background and light that the camera processes and transfer.
