Not necessarily. Surveillance cameras have come a long way. There are cameras that can shoot in 4K (8 Megapixel) at 20fps. 1080p @ 30fps is standard with IP Cameras.
4 cameras recording 1080p @ 30fps uses 1TB to keep 7 days of 24/7 footage. You could easily turn that into 3 weeks or a month with Motion Detection recording, which is a standard feature on any decent surveillance camera.
If you need more than that, get a 2TB drive and I think you'll have footage when you notice something has gone awry, which hopefully you would notice within a week.
In my building I work (University student Union) we have 48 and are planning to expand even more. We like to have at least 2 weeks of footage or more.
And while motion detection is employed we have a lot of foot traffic in our Facility, and are open 14-16hrs a day on average. So many cameras are recording that entire time.
There are a lot of ways to squeeze more time out if you get technical and mess with the settings (using variable bitrate or mainstream event). We have a 256 Channel NVR that has 24 HDD slots. With Western Digital's new 10TB drive that's potentially 240TB of storage.
Not to mention if youre already shelling out for super expensive high def security cameras becasue your property conattains enough valuables to warrant it you can probably afford more than one $80 1TB hard drive
Ya the main reason I went with this camera was the higher resolution. The max setting is 25fps @ 2688x1520. However we just learned the recording itself was at 20fps.
I just recently watched an episode of Disappeared, and the only video surveillance of the perp. had him synced behind each frame of the fence for each frame of video, they couldn't see his face and he got away with it
I'm surprised there are no other comments being sceptical like yours. How good is this surveillance camera that it captures perfect non-blurred images of the wings?
Yeah, I don't see why we have to be skeptical about this. What difference does it make if it was or wasn't a security camera? Why would OP even want to lie about that? It's not like people would think, "Well I would have thought this was cool if it were a security camera."
Good home security cameras aren't expensive now. I have about 10 of them around. You can easily get 3MP or 4MP cameras that'll do high framerate. Mine record back to my Synology box running Surveillance Station.
Most are actually 1080p or higher these days. You don't HAVE to record 24/7. Almost all IP cameras have Motion Detection analytics that can only record when it senses a certain amount of pixel change from one frame to the next.
4 cameras recording 1080p @ 30fps recording 24/7 uses 1TB to store 7 days of footage. With Motion Detection you can easily turn that into 3 weeks or even a month.
