I have a friend who’s a singer. He showed me how much storage 1 4 min music video took. 40 min per camera, 3 cameras, 4K. Unedited raw footage came out at ~2.5TB. It’s just insane to me. My PC has 1TB of storage.

    And people wonder why CCTV footage is always low res and grainy. I worked at a site with something north of 100 cameras and a requirement for 30 days storage. Their server room was mostly just racks and racks of hard drive chassis all wired up to the DVR system.
