How much continuous recording can you get from an 128GB sdcard?

Post by GOSSS »

I have an IPM-721 and I cant seem to playback anything further than a week ago.

Am I doing something wrong?

How far back should an 128GB sdcard be to go?

any help with this will be greatly appreciated,
Gosss

Hello Gosss,

At 720P resolution, it can only last one week. If you lower the bitrate and framerates, it will last much longer.

Hi,

For that, an NVR would be the best option. Having a dedicated computer with Amcrest Surveillance Pro is another option but the NVR would be the better option.
