6.3. How long can videos be stored on my SD card?
The storage space occupied by a video file is calculated as follows Blurams Security Camera:
Video footprint = (video bit rate / 8) x time length.
For example, if a device takes videos at Full HD resolution (1920×1080 pixels), the highest bit rate of the video will be 1.5Mbps, and the space occupied by a continuously uninterrupted video recorded in one day will be Blurams Security Camera:
Video occupied space = (1.5Mbps / 8) x 24 x 60 x 60 = 16200MB ≈ 15.8GB.
If you are using a 128GB SD card, the number of days of video data that can be stored will be: 128 / 15.8 ≈ 8.1 days.
This means that after 8.1 days, the earlier videos will start to be overwritten Blurams Security Camera.
The same 128GB SD card can continuously record high-definition (bit rate of about 1Mbps) video for about 12.2 days, and can continuously record standard-definition (bit rate of about 512Kbps) video for about 24.3 days.
Please refer to the table below for more information on how long videos can be stored on the SD card
Please not that if the recording method of the SD card is set to event recording, the SD card will not be filled as fast as the table shows.
Finally, please keep in mind that regardless of the resolution chosen, when the SD card storage space is used up, the newly recorded video will automatically overwrite the oldest video.
Time Needed (in days) to Fill SD cards of Different Sizes at Different Resolutions.
8Gb | 16Gb | 32Gb | 64Gb | 128Gb | |
FHD | 0.5 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8.1 |
SD | 0.75 | 1.5 | 3 | 6.1 | 12.2 |
720p | 1.5 | 3 | 6.1 | 12.2 | 24.3 |
