Video Security Camera Installation with 2 Terabyte DVR

When M&J Video starts a video security camera installation one of the first things we have to consider is the amount of video backup the customer needs to have saved on the digital video recorder (DVR). All DVRs come with a built in hard drive and the can range from 1 terabyte to 16 terabytes. When programming the dvr there are many variables to take into account. Setting the DVR to motion detection will save hard drive space and allow for more back up. Raising or lowering the frame rate and resolution also affects the amount of back up to be stored. A DVR with a single terebyte set on motion detection and a high frame rate with the highest  resolution will store about 6 weeks of recorded video. So keep this in mind when starting your video security camera installion.
