Recording and retrieval
Recording mode / schedule / time zone:
Recorded resolution / codec / frame rate / average video Mbps:
Average bitrate measured or assumed? Measurement dates:
Number of recorded cameras in each bitrate group:
Daily recorded hours (include pre/post-event clips):
Net capacity available for video (decimal TB):
Planned days / estimated video payload (TB):
Audio / overhead / reserved space / allowance assumptions:
Oldest playable recording timestamp at inspection:
Newest playable recording timestamp at inspection:
Inspection date / overwrite status / known recording gaps:
Live view result:
New recording interval / local playback result:
Export result / reference retained privately:
Stationary and moving subject recording at intended distance:
Remaining faults / next check / review date:

Video TB = sum(cameras x average video Mbps) x hours/day x 3600 x days / 8,000,000.
All groups in this formula share a schedule. Calculate different schedules separately.
Video payload excludes audio, filesystem overhead and reserved space.
Observed history is limited by time since commissioning, schedules, overwrite and gaps;
it does not establish future retention or certify a camera or recorder.
Use an agreed service window. Keep credentials and identifiable footage private.
