High disk usage by camera
Hello,
I have two of Vigi C440 camera (first 2.8mm V2 and second 4mm V1 probably). The second one using like 10x more disk space than the V2 model and I don't know why. Both are on the same stream settings but I don't know that the difference should be that huge. 2.8mm version runs on 1.0.1 firmware and 4mm runs on 2.0.6. And the 2.8mm picture looks worse than 4mm version. Both cameras have the same scenary, but different viewing angles, there is no difference in the dynamics of the scenery. Thanks for any help.
Hi @kapik
It's plain and easy to tell the differences. Case's closed. I will not respond to this thread any further as I have iterated my point and explained it to you.
You really should take a second and browse through the files. Find the differences between them. After so many replies, you really should see my point if you try to understand the number of files and the size. I cannot help you understand it if I've put them so clearly.
#1. It is a consecutive recording with hours in a single clip.
#3 you sent. That many files but they are not consecutive. It's a short clip and you might have set some triggers.
@Clive_A yea its 10 times gap, when cameras started recording at the same time, they both record 24/7 and interesting what i saw right now, my C340 that is recording outside have 2048~ files and only uses ~30GB of disk space. It has most dynamic scenery, because it have view on road so I don't know why one camera uses like 10x more space with almost static scenery.

1. Is this VIGI C340?
2. This picture you gave. What's the duration of each file? Minute and single file size. Do you examine them?
3. Have you ruled out that there were some files generated while you were testing the recording feature? It is actually not the proper recording like what you sent earlier?
So, I would appreciate it if you could give me the same information you have. I cannot continue this as everything is scattered and consider it as a potential bug if I have to ask each time to sync what I understand and your understanding.
You can go straight for a support ticket if yourself is convinced by your understanding. I have to squeeze you and get the information that I did not know.
I am not convinced by what was said previously. Because it did not make sense to me when I did the calculation. I now start to feel it might not be right. I ask two questions in this reply.
When I present this to the test or dev team, it should be very clear about the facts you reported.
@Clive_A
1. Yes it is C340 2.8mm
2. I will send u full screenshots from VIGI SM, like I said beforly, the gap shouldn't be that huge, firstly I connected and configured all cameras then I connected NVR and it is started saving all footage from cameras in the same time.
3. I don't think so, I was not changing anything since I turned on recording of all cameras on NVR - I was only using auto-update feature.
