harish74 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Hi, I am in the process of setting up the security camera system at my business. I am researching and learning. I have learned that Network camera can offer better quality over Analog CCTV cameras. Originally I was going to go with Samsung SCV 2080R Dome cameras but now after research I have chnaged my mind to go with Network cameras. I will need recording. I need 6 Cameras total. 4 Indoor and 2 Outdoor. What frame rate I will be able to record at 720P? If I am recording 6 Cameras at 720P with 1 TB Hard Disk Drive, Can I get recording of Minimum 15 Days? Also suggest some Q see Outdoor cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxIcon 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Most modern 720p cams will run a full 30fps, though most people agree you don't need that for security recordings. I prefer 15 fps if I can get it without bogging down the system, but most of my cams run at 10 fps. This is pretty important if you want longer record times. The record time will depend on your resolution, your fps, the recording format and quality, and whether you record full time or motion detect (how much motion gets detected and for how long). Recording full time on 6 720p cams at 10 fps would probably give you a few days max at 720p. Using motion recording, I get well over a month on 6 1MP cams recording at 10 fps to a 2TB drive. Some of them see a lot of motion, others don't see much. It totally depends. The Dahua HFW2100 cams are good budget IP outdoor bullet cams. I don't have any experience with their dome cams, but they're presumably also good starter cams. With these, you could run their 8 channel recorder, after making sure it supports your resolution and frame rates. Others with more experience can chime in on this.
