IVS product VCN500 is unable to save 90 days of video recording

Hey there!

The following factors determine how many days a video can be stored on the VCN platform:

1. Hard disk space;

2. Set the camera bit rate.

The method for calculating the camera storage space is as follows:

• If the bit rate of a camera is 1024Kbps, the space required for storing data for one day is about 12GB and that for storing data for 90 days is about 1080GB.

• Therefore, if the customer does not want to change the bit rate, the standby or backup hard disk must be used to store all recordings and reset the VCN.

• Otherwise, if the required space is insufficient, the VCN does not have a hard disk. As a result, the video cannot be recorded for 90 days.

According to the actual situation, the formula is as follows: 

• If the bit rate of a camera is 1024Kbps, the space required for storing data for one day is about 12GB and that for storing data for 90 days is about 1080G.

• The options are as follows:

1. The bit rate is reduced, but the resolution is affected.

2. Balance the cameras added on different VCN platforms.

3. Add sufficient hard disks or storage devices.
