Hi everyone.
I think I am facing an issue which is unusual but I hope someone can shed some light or clarify few things on that. Maybe this will help others too.
First of all the cameras DS-2CD2185FWD-I are genuine ones bought from an approved seller in the UK. I have 2 of them.
The issue I am facing is the amount of space it is taking on my Micro SD memory card. Apart from that I do not face any problem at all.
I am using an Original SanDisk Ultra 128 GB microSDXC128GB (SDSQUAR-128G-GN6MA) . When in use, it tells me I get 119.08GB. My camera is set to record 24/7
Both cameras have exactly identical settings , video resolution with same firmware, same sd cards. There is nothing different. Except where they are both situated around my yard
With the first camera, I get about 20 days.
With the second camera, I get barely 13 or less days
I am using the latest firmware on both DOWNLOAD EU PORTAL
Both sd cards are brand new. I even replace the one that I was getting less again with a new one.
1) I cannot understand why one gives me 20 days or more, the other one will give me 13 days or less ? Does the place where you put the camera affect the recording data ? That is the only difference there is. I even tried to reduce the frame rate/bit rate/ max average bit rate. I still cannot understand why I will not get the similar 20 days. ( I reset the camera few times, that did not help either)
2) Also a card of 128gb giving me only 119.98gb, I am losing 8.92gb. I know the reasoning behind this etc. But for me that is nearly a day of 24/7 recording. Does anyone know another memory card suitable for ip cctv camera that will take less internal system memory and offer more available memory ?
Cheers
