How long will my DVR/NVR record for?
Calculating hard drive sizes is no longer as straight forward as 1TB per camera per month – with the inclusion of 8MP cameras in the range it is no longer that simple.
NVRs and DVRs are available with different size hard drives. The length of recording time can be affected by many factors especially the number of cameras, (more cameras require more storage) the resolution of the cameras (higher resolution requires more storage), the recording frame rate, quality of recording video and whether the recording is continuous, or motion based. Our technical team can advise you on the right size hard drive to suit your requirements.

What happens when the Hard Drive is full of recorded data?
By default, DVRs are set to 'Overwrite' meaning once full the hard drive overwrites the old data with new data.

ESP offer a range of High Definition NVRs and DVRs from 1080p to 8MP.
