Using Higher Values When Recording Video
Effect of using a combination of higher recording values
For Continuous Recording, heightening Resolution, Quality and Frame Rate in combination,
compounds the effect on storage. Examples are shown for one camera and for nine cameras, on a
unit that has 500 GB of storage.

* A frame rate of 30 ips can be used on 1 to 4 cameras. For 9 cameras, 10 ips (max) can be used.
Honeywell recommends that high values for recording video be used only for event recording.
