CCTV Camera: How much footage can be stored on the system?

A Proper CCTV camera configuration need experience!

When configuring your CCTV camera it is vital to determine how much footage you are going to need to store at one time and for how long, do you need to keep backups for an extended period of time, etc.

CCTV camera footage is instrumental in countless convictions nowadays…

Fortunately due to modern technology we no longer need to use video tape but with DVR you can now record up to 4 weeks worth of uninterrupted footage on a 500 gig hard drive.

Then there’s a number of settings e.g. movement sensors that can be attached to the CCTV camera system which only gets activated once movement is sensed. it goes without saying that these cameras need to be expertly positioned to prevent random movement like a tree swaying in the wind or cars passing in a road behind the effective area, your professional installer can help with this.
