The hard disk space of video surveillance equipment is insufficient, which can be solved by modifying the monitoring strategy and increasing the storage capacity.

Modify monitoring strategy

(1) You changed the video recording mode from full video recording to motion detection video recording. Alarm video recording, so that it can only be recorded when moving targets or people break into the monitoring area, effectively reducing the space occupied by complete video recording.

(2) Video recording is set to a lower code stream, for example, from 1.5M code stream to 5 12K code stream, and the video recording time can be increased by 2 times.

(3) Back up to the mobile hard disk or other computers regularly to clean up the space.

Increase storage capacity

(1) Replace a large-capacity hard disk or add a hard disk. Ordinary hard disk video recorder supports 2 hard disks.

(2) If the hard disk video recorder supports the network, network storage devices can be added, and the storage capacity can be expanded to tens of TB.

If the requirements are higher, it can be upgraded to a network monitoring system. The monitoring video collected by each camera is encoded in real time by a video encoder and transmitted to the background storage system for storage.
