To calculate the storage required to record one hour of video from two cameras streaming at 6 Mbit/s each, we use the following steps:

Total bitrate for both cameras: 6 Mbit/s×2=12 Mbit/s6 \text{ Mbit/s} \times 2 = 12 \text{ Mbit/s}6 Mbit/s×2=12 Mbit/s

Convert Mbit/s to Mbyte/s: 12 Mbit/s÷8=1.5 Mbyte/s12 \text{ Mbit/s} \div 8 = 1.5 \text{ Mbyte/s}12 Mbit/s÷8=1.5 Mbyte/s

Calculate the total data for one hour: 1.5 Mbyte/s×3600 seconds=5400 Mbytes1.5 \text{ Mbyte/s} \times 3600 \text{ seconds} = 5400 \text{ Mbytes}1.5 Mbyte/s×3600 seconds=5400 Mbytes

Convert Mbytes to Gbytes: 5400 Mbytes÷1024=5.27 Gbytes5400 \text{ Mbytes} \div 1024 = 5.27 \text{ Gbytes}5400 Mbytes÷1024=5.27 Gbytes

Approximately, the storage required is 5.4 GB.

For covert surveillance, modular cameras are the best choice. These cameras consist of a small sensor unit connected to a main unit by a cable, allowing the sensor unit to be discreetly placed in tight spaces while the main unit is hidden elsewhere. This makes modular cameras ideal for situations where discretion is paramount. Axis Communications offers a range of modular cameras specifically designed for covert applications, as detailed in their product documentation and solutions guides.

Axis helps prevent attackers from deceiving system owners into installing altered firmware by using signed firmware. Signed firmware ensures that only authentic and unaltered firmware can be installed on the device. This process involves cryptographic signatures that verify the integrity and authenticity of the firmware, thus preventing malicious code from being introduced into the system.

For outdoor cameras, not using the proper connectors, such as weatherproof or waterproof connectors, can lead to water ingress. This can damage the camera’s internal components, leading to malfunctions or complete failure of the device. Axis outdoor cameras are designed with specific connectors to ensure they are sealed against environmental factors like moisture, dust, and temperature extremes. According to Axis installation guides, ensuring the correct connectors are used is crucial for maintaining the camera's IP rating and long-term reliability.
