Understanding SD Card Storage for Continuous Video Recording

In the realm of video surveillance, a frequently asked question is, "How long can a microSD card store continuous video recording?" The answer to this question isn't as simple as it might seem, as it largely hinges on the video quality settings of your recording device.

 

The quality of the video directly influences the amount of storage space needed. Higher-resolution videos, such as 4K or 2K, use more storage space than lower-resolution videos like 1080p or 720p. This is because higher-resolution videos contain more pixels, and therefore, more data.

While these estimates serve as a general guideline, it's important to remember that actual storage duration can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the scene being recorded and the specific settings of your recording device.

 

In conclusion, understanding the correlation between video quality and storage capacity can help you make an informed decision about the best microSD card size for your surveillance needs.
