24 Channel DVR Expansion

These 24 channel DVR units have been optimized so that you can modify the amount of hard drive space to store the surveillance video recorded by your CCTV system. Also, you can always upgrade any of these PC based 24 channel DVRs to accommodate more space. Secondly, because PC-Based DVRs use DVR Cards to record the surveillance video, you can upgrade from a 24 channel DVR to as many as 64 security cameras by simply getting additional DVR Card(s).

 

Often it is hard to find standalone security DVR with 24 or more channels, as almost all security camera systems of that size need the flexibility of a PC-based solution. For practicability reasons, most people do not want a standalone past 16 channels as standalone DVRs do not have the ability to expand to more cameras. 

You Need At Least 3 Tera-Bytes To Achieve A Months Record Time

If you are looking to keep a month's record-time on hand with a 24 channel DVR setup, you will need plenty of hard drives. We listed our options in this range from the very basic amount of hard drive space up to 1 Tera-byte. 3 Tera-bytes of hard drive space will put you at around four weeks of record time at real-time-recording.

You can manipulate your settings to gain more record time for your 24 channel DVR, but we recommend making sure you can record at 30 frames per second at a minimum. With the large CCTV systems that need a 24 channel DVR rig, you should plan to either grow into having three Tera-bytes or purchase 3 Tera-byte systems from us at the start!

Leaving Room to Expanding a 24 Camera System

 

Twenty-Four Channel DVRs can support up to 24 cameras, so it is best to use them if you have 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 or 24 security cameras. Although there is some wisdom to saving money and buying a 16 channel DVR if you have less than 17 cameras, you will want to consider you future needs and if you will want to upgrade in future as you will save considerable money by only buying the DVR once.
