The recording time from a CCTV camera depends on the
following
- Camera resolution
- Encoding method (h.264, h.265)
- Frame rate (FPS)
- Scene complexity
- Bitrate (kbps)
- Continuous or motion recording
Some examples based on 128GB of storage taken from the
Hikvision storage and network calculator tool are in the table
below

If you are using motion detection and expect for example 12 hours
total movement you will be able to store footage for double the
time.
