We have eight cameras and all of them are either 4MP or 5MP. They are recording continuously 24/7 and we enabled Uniview H.265+ advanced codec on most of them.
@@Schumaher7305 Yes, the image quality is slightly better with H.264. Based on my testing it's about 5-10% better and uses 30-50% more bandwidth. I would recommend H.265 unless you require the highest image quality for license plate recognition or face detection.
3:53 - We used the Crucial MX500 2TB drive as our example, which has a 700 TBW rating. We did not mention NVMe drives since they are not compatible with video recorders.
@@xlrsecurity we use Western Digital 4TB Red SN700 NVMe's. 5100 TBW. We have tested Silicon Power 4TB UD90s and they work just fine, though the TBW is lower at 2500. What ever NVMe you use, make sure it has DRAM and is TLC, not QLC.
4:20 looking how long the recording gets into the past was such a good idea to calculate the life reliability. Thanks! Will switch to SSDs.
Great info, and thank you for sharing all your tenacious hard work.
Thank you for your expertise and research!!
You're welcome, thanks for the cheerful comment! I hope you enjoyed the video.
thank you
if the 10 TB is written every 38 days, just wondering how many cameras you have and what is their resolution?

@@xlrsecurityCu codecul clasic 264 nu este mai buna calitatea imaginii decat cu 265 sau 265+ ?

great video thanks!
Yea i was also wondering about ssd. Now i know. Congrats on a great video
The flaw in this video is you stated 700TBW for a 10TB drive. That is NOT an NVMe.

@@xlrsecurity Actually, NVMe's are compatible. We've installed dozens of the Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max which use an NVMe and have had zero issues.
@@yourpcmd I'm not very familiar with the Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max. What type of NVMe drive does it take? How much storage capacity do you have?

if your NVR take 10TB per month so your SN700 NVMe gonna take 20 years? 🌚💔 theres no way
Yes ssd drives are much faster. Thanks for a great video
