Adding Storage by installing new hard drives into NVR

[IpCamEnthusiast]

Hi,

I have a situation where I need 90 days of storage for 25 cameras at 720p and 10 fps. My best idea right now is to use two 16 channel NVRs and open them up and install two 8 TB hard drives into each NVR.

I already have the Lorex equipment so for better or worse I need to use Lorex. As far as swapping the hard drives I have done it once with success so I am comfortable with the risk level.

Any pitfalls to this approach that you can see?

Have a great day everybody

No, assuming that 16TB is enough storage and that might be at 720P and 10fps. I just upgraded my Hikvision system to a 16 channel NVR that can handle 4 12TB hard drives. I am only using 8 cameras but most are 4MB with one at 8MB with 2 at 2MB with upgrades to come. My cameras are running at 15fps with the 8MB running at 25fps. The price for the NVR was $449 on Ebay without the hard drives. It also has ONVIF capability which may handle Lorex.
