Determining the Capacity of the Storage Server
You must determine the size and configuration of your Storage Server based on the recording and playback data volume 
per second and the required hard disk capacity.
„Recording / playback data volume per second and the audio data volume
If the volume of recording or playback data handled by one server is 80 Mbps or greater, to ensure system stability you 
should review your recording requirements.
Audio data requires 64 Kbps of disk space,...

 Image recording from 4 cameras (VB-M40).
 Image size is 320 x 240 and image quality is 3 (data size per frame: 15.3 KB).
 Recording frame rate is 2 fps.
 Data size per second is approximately 30.6 KB (= 15.3 KB x 2 fps).
Although the actual recording file size depends on the objects recorded by each camera, this calculation assumes the 
typical sizes given above.
If JPEG images from 4 cameras are recorded at 2 frames per second in continuous recording mode, the required hard disk 
space is...
