Avoiding Early Overwrite on Surveillance Footage
Kenyan insurance underwriters and security regulations often require commercial premises to retain high-definition CCTV recordings for at least 30 to 60 calendar days. Using modern Smart H.265+ video encoding reduces surveillance bitrates by up to 75% compared to legacy H.264 without compromising facial recognition or license plate clarity.

Storage Sizing Formula
A typical 16-camera 4K (8MP) system running at 15 FPS with H.265+ motion recording requires approximately 16TB to 24TB of dedicated surveillance storage (such as two 10TB or 12TB Western Digital Purple Pro drives) to guarantee a full 30-day retention window.
