The Digital Witness system saves video images directly onto the hard drive of the Digital
Witness Viewpoint DVR server. By digitizing the surveillance images, the system is able to
provide video playback efficiently and on demand, as well as provide the images over a network
via our Digital Witness - Remote software.
The amount of video images that can be saved onto the Viewpoint server is limited by the
size of the DVRs built-in hard drive. Digital Witness builds all of its Viewpoint servers to
provide an average of one-months recording time, under average conditions. However, the
configuration of each Digital Witness system and its intended use will effect the storage
capacity, making the precise determination of hard drive capacity much more complex. This
document describes the components that effect hard drive capacity, and details the options for
extending the storage capacity of the Digital Witness System.

in a 24 period
as cars or other motorized vehicles. Typical Digital Witness users will employ our other models
of DVRs, which record at between 7.5 FPS (Viewpoint Model No. 1600) and 15 FPS per
camera (Viewpoint Model Nos 400 and 800.
With these numbers in hand, we can quickly calculate the maximum amount of hard
drive space necessary to record video during a 24 hour period, for an individual camera.

In order to build out the appropriate system for the intended application, each user will
need to estimate their own percentage of utilization, as well as determining the appropriate
balance of black & white v. color cameras and the necessity for audio recording. There are
several charts attached to the back of this packet to help aid in this process.
DVD-ROM Drives
Each Viewpoint DVR server comes standard with a CD-ROM writeable drive, which will
allow users to transfer small amounts of data (typically 1-2 hours) to a CD. Digital Witness can
also add a DVD-ROM writeable drive to the system. DVDs can hold up to 4.7 GB of memory,
which will allow users to transfer one or more days worth of video to DVD. This option creates
a convenient and permanent storage system for all recorded activity.
