Can ZM work for me?
I would want it to record 24/7, 365 but only store a week of video. (deleting the oldest videos)
On pretty low settings, using a small res (320x480 or something), about how many gb's would a week of video take up?
Thanks,
Kyle

Re: Automatic space management.
Assuming 85 KB per frame at 15 frames per second, my math is probably off.. but I would guess:
(((( 85 * 15 ) * 60 ) * 60 ) * 24 ) / 1024 / 1024 =~ 105 GB or so per camera per day...
(((( 85 * 15 ) * 60 ) * 60 ) * 24 ) / 1024 / 1024 =~ 105 GB or so per camera per day...
Re: Automatic space management.
FYI you can also turn on mocord which will record continuously but mark events inside the recording where there was motion. Then setup 2 filters. One that deletes recordings older than a week and another that deletes recordings in which there were zero alarm frames. This is what I do to help regain space from useless recordings on my 24/7 recording camera.
