I have 4TB and I had 4 cameras, just added 2 more and will ultimately have 8 cameras. Until recently I just left it at the default setting but have realized that was way to low. I am now playing around with my FPS on some of the cameras. It almost seems that lowering the FPS to the 8-10 range and raising the max bit rate is better then having 15fps and a low to moderate bit rate cap
My pc only has room for 1 3.5” drive. I looking at maybe getting a 10TB to replace the 4TB

Since I bumped up the max bit rate it’s like I got new cameras with better resolution. It almost doesn’t make since to have a certain resolution just to hold it way back with a cap on the bit rate. I guess I’m basically trying to figure out what my needs and wants and limitations are. More storage would make that a lot easier. How much storage do you have and how long does it last?
Oh damn you need more storage also lol. Any reason you use 30fps over 15fps? I haven’t tried 30fps but I’m really digging 6144/15fps on my 2mp starlights. And several of them are staying right at that 6144 cap a lot of the time.
Yeah your right. I’m all freaking out if I don’t have a months worth. I check it almost daily anyway and I really would be good with around a couple of weeks.
fwfw, I like 2 weeks of captures. I figure if something happens then I'd know about it by then. I run 10-15fps but the bitrate I left at whatever the cam (or BI) set it as. I think most of them are on VBR instead of constant. I'll bump them all up and see what happens. thanks for the tip!
