We have calculated the approximate size of the disk required for Hikvision CCTV systems. You can also use the Hikvision calculator to get a better idea of storage space at this link. 

This chart shows the approximate hard drive size required for 4x 2MP cameras, using the H264 video compression with continuous 24/7 recording. FPS stands for frames per second which is like pictures per second.

For H265 compression systems, the space required is halved. All NVR except DS-76xxNI-Ex and DS-71xxx now support H265 recording.
