How long does this 1 TB Hard Drive if I am recording the 16 channels?

Depending on the video quality you select, a long time. Even at the highest quality it should go for over a year before it needs to recycle over the old content. Hope this helps!

if you recording on all 16 channels 10-14 days tops.. We install these for customer and anything over 8 we recommend 2 TB or 3 if applicable. Also you can increase this by setting you cameras to sensitivity recording and times like during business hours.. We try to get the most out of every system so we set schedules , camera sensitivity ( motion recording ) etc so every customer get different lengths. Also the quality of picture will also dictate the recording time ( good , better best ). if out of the box doing nothing I would say 3 weeks or less. By setting parameters same hard drive you can increase by atleast a week or more. if you recording on all 16 channels 10-14 days tops..

Depends on chosen audio quality, music or talk, number of tracks. However, one user statement claims: Sep 6, 2010 - 9 posts - &#8206;6 authors "Hey guys, Just wondering how long would i be able to record with a 16Gb ... A: 5 megs per minute per channel at 44.1/16. it's just about the same at 48 and 1/2 again more for 24 bit. At 48/24 stereo I get just under an hour a gig." www.dvxuser .com

One TB hard drive will record 7 days or so and recycles, so on day 8, day one will be overwritten. This happens automatically unles you change the setting.

I cannot definitively say. The bit rate and obviously the length of recording will greatly affect the size. Typically, I record at a 128bit rate. Example, I have a 7min recording, @128bit, and it is 6300kb.

Actually, I'm not entirely sure, but I dropped a 750gb drive in it and it records a LOT!

The Majority brands of Computer 3.5'' SATA Hard Drives are compatible with this 16 chan DVR, Im using a Seagate SATA 1.5Tb Hard drive in Mine. (Works good). The DVR instructions state the maximum Hard Drive to use is 2TB.But you Can also use smaller hard drive with it (like 500 Gb etc).

I'm having the same problem with the 1TB my dvr expander. Let me know if you found a fix. I've had a 500gb on my other sa 8300 hd and never had an issue.

Maybe this can help you. Don't know the size for one hour but for 4 hours it was 219 MB. The recorder creates a .WAV file with a bitrate of 128 kbps, 4 bit, 16 hz.

It is about 6 inches square and an inch thick. Do not let its size fool you. It is not a recorder so it doesn't need the space for a hard drive. I questioned it when I took it out of the box. Once you turn it on and tune it in, the questions are all answered.

Hi Craig, this system comes with a 500GB Hard Drive installed. And it can support at least 14 days real-time recording. Do you have any other questions? Thank you: )

I have a similar outdoor antennae connected to my Windows 7 computer. Using Windows Media Center I can record shows or even entire series on my hard drive. One hour recording takes about 5 million bytes. It also normally records the first 15 minutes of whatever you are watching then records over it, so you can pause or back it up and continue watching a show at any time.

It has 16 gig on it. I have watched quite a few videos on it, with no problems.

1 TB with continuous non-stop recording will hold about 3 weeks. You'll need a 3.5 SATA hard drive with a maximum of 3TB. So lets say you want a 3TB HDD, well you'll have about 9 week of non-stop recordings. However, you can set your DVR to motion detection, that way it'll record when it is triggered by motion in order to have optimum storage. Also, the DVR has automatic override, so when your HD is full, you'll system will override itself and keep recording. Hope this helped!

I do not know.. But, I can tell you that I have the 4 cam system on motion sensor (event) recording. With a busy store it can often record continous all day, until we close the store and then it doesn't record much other than a security guard walking by the entrance a few times overnight.. Typically, I am experiencing 17-19 days of recording with the 1TB drive.

This unit has a 1TB HDD. The 1GB listed is an error. A request has been made to have it corrected.

It will record over once the card is full. 16 gigs is plenty. Don't worry about the card running out of room.
