Hello @Wanjiru, pls find my comments below. :-) The main problem you have is that your recording system has locked you down with vendor specific limitations. A temporary change on the system like " Motion Detection" and also reduce the frame capture size will help. This will have immediate savings on data storage. If the recorded volumes are quite high then complete hardware changes are necessary. And if the data volumes are similar to a small data centre, then it may become necessary to link all the different locations and have a centralised system. Therefore, each evening etc, the recorders/machines run a backup script to offload the contents to the central storage data centre server. There are many solutions possible and each carries a cost impact. It all depends on how much data needs to be captured and saved. I hope The Queen Bee will have its data centre ready soon. They should be able to takeup such business very easily, saving you from spending thousands of USD on large centres. You may also contact KDN. HTHs.

Ladies & Gentlemen, A company has CCTV systems with a recorder capacity of 1.5 Tbyte installed at it's 15 outlets which are located in different parts of beautiful Kenya. Being an international organization, they are bound by home country requirements on records retention and would like reliable yet affordable backup solutions that will be implemented for each of the 15 locations independently. Any ideas? FYI, my IT is rusty so for the hardcore techies, please don't get offended :)
Thanks Kind Regards, Wanjiru --
