Average Video Surveillance Storage Duration Statistics 2021
With advances in smart codecs and falling storage cost has the average storage duration changed since our 2017 statistics? And if so, how much?
More than 200 integrators answered:
For your new video systems, what is the average storage duration / time (e.g., days, weeks, months, years)?
In this report, we examine statistics based on responses from integrators and examine the trends they reveal.
Note: This report is the successor to studies done in 2017 and 2012.
