With IP CCTV, as you aren\u2019t limited to coax, the compatibility of a system enables you to integrate into any network, for both storage and monitoring.<\/p><p>Storage. As the footage recorded from an IP CCTV system is digital, storage is easily expandable. Whether this be via HDD expansion on your NVR, or utilising a NAS server on your local \/ external network.<\/p><p>Remote accessibility. Remote monitoring and cloud access of an IP CCTV surveillance system is made possible as the system is IP based.

In order to determine what size hard disk drive (HDD) you will need for your NVR, you will need to consider four key factors:<\/p><ul><li>Resolution \u2013 The higher the resolution of your IP camera, the more space the recording will take up.<\/li><li>Number of IP cameras \u2013 The more cameras you have deployed = The more recording space taken up, and quicker too.<\/li><li>Period of time recording \u2013 If you are recording your premises 24\/7, you will need an NVR with a large HDD. However, if your IP camera only records when motion is detected, for instance, you will only require a fraction of the space that a full-time camera demands.<\/li><li>How long your NVR will store the recordings for \u2013 Most NVRs will have a date-based auto purge which will automatically delete recordings after a certain number of days. It is important that you bear this in mind as the longer you keep the recording, the more space it takes up on the HDD.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ec42dc2\" data-id=\"7ec42dc2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d026361 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7d026361\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ux.co.uk\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/UNVR-Pro_005_a34d7078-3916-498c-bb6a-b8524f346e98_grande.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3720\" alt=\"Network Video Recorder Pro\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ux.co.uk\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/UNVR-Pro_005_a34d7078-3916-498c-bb6a-b8524f346e98_grande.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.ux.co.uk\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/UNVR-Pro_005_a34d7078-3916-498c-bb6a-b8524f346e98_grande-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.ux.co.uk\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/UNVR-Pro_005_a34d7078-3916-498c-bb6a-b8524f346e98_grande-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6c2d0a68 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6c2d0a68\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3e1c21d8\" data-id=\"3e1c21d8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d51a58d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5d51a58d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ux.co.uk\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/day-night-cams.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3721\" alt=\"Day \/ Night IP Cameras\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ux.co.uk\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/day-night-cams.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.ux.co.uk\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/day-night-cams-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-63600ad4\" data-id=\"63600ad4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-345f8feb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"345f8feb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day \/ Night IP Cameras<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b59a30d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b59a30d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Needless to say that one of the key reasons for installing an IP camera is for effective surveillance at all times.
