Recording Time
Recording time depends on the traffic/movement the camera receives per day. It is hard to give an exact time for recording because different user receives different traffic. Our DVR is equipped with option of Motion Sensor or straight recording. Because of difference traffic received, Digital Video Recording could be up to months.
 
Recording Type
Recording type comes in Real Time and Non-Real Time. Real Time Display or Recording usually cost more than Non-Real Time. Recording type is basically a preference by the user. Selection of DVR comes in Real Time or Non-Real Time Display and Real Time or Non-Real Time Recording. Places such as casinos only use Real Time both in display and recording. Places such as an office or home, might need Real Time Display but not need Real Time Recording. Again, it comes down to preference. Below is a basic understanding of what is consider Real Time and what is Not.
 
Real Time
DVR comes in non-real time and real time. Real Time records in 30 frame per second per camera (fps).
Example 1. (Non-Real Time)
4 cameras dvr system running at total 60fps. Divide 60fps/4cam = 15fps > Not Real Time. To be consider real time the equation sum must equal to 30fps.
 
Example 2. (Real Time)
4 cameras dvr system running at total 120fps. Divide 120pfs/4cam = 30fps > Real Time
