Average frame size of 640х480 640x480 resolution is:

Video codec

Average frame size

H.264

from 8 KB to 17 KB

MPEG4

from 8 KB to 35 KB

MJPEG

from 23 KB to 60 KB

Average frame size may vary over a wide range depending on the vendor, the model and the settings of the camera and video image complexity.


Info
titleNote

To calculate the frame size you can use the ratio, that when increasing the vertical or horizontal resolution two times, the average frame size will be increased four times (this rule is a relative and can be applied only to some camera models).

Examples of calculating the capacity of the disk subsystem (without the capacity of the system log and metadata databases) are presented below.
