simo923 0 Posted March 3, 2008 As i am building 4 PC for the 64 Channel system i need, i find that all the different Hard Drive Space Calculatros throw out completely different figures. Top end, i was speccing in 8 Tb of space in a RAID6 configuration. (7+1) Can anyone give their experiences/recommendations for the space i would need for the following GV-1480 Card 16 Channels Video (8 B&W, 8 Colour) and 16 Channels Audio 20FPS Recording 24/7 - 31 Days Best Res possible with the GV-1480 Thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ezCCTV 0 Posted March 4, 2008 How busy is the site? Will there be lots of motion on the cameras recording around the clock. We have a 16 channel GV1480 here set to GeoMpeg4 ASP, with 3 PTZ cameras (on tour). It records around the clock and uses anywhere between 6 and 8 TB for 30 days. It completely depends on how much movement there is on the cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simo923 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Is that all 16 cameras operational and all colour? I don' think that the movement will be massive. There will be approx 4 PTZs on there actually. (forgot about them). Will a number of them being B&W help? Glad it was you guys answering actually as i am buying my systems from you probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ezCCTV 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Good to hear it That was on a system running at the following: 3 PTZ cameras on a preset tour 13 static cameras (mostly Internal) Resolution 640x480 De Interlace Rec Quality 5 It all really depends on how much of the camera image changes with movement, and how much movement there is.
