 Recording capacity can be calculated by MPEG-4 Bit Rate (Kbps) ÷ 8 Bit x 
time (second).
Example: 
640 x 480 resolution, MPEG-4 Bit Rate 768 Kbps for one hour: 
768 (Kbps) ÷ 8 (Bit) x 3,600 (s) = 345,600 KB (337.5 MB) 
If the audio is attached, add 4 KB per second. 
345,600 (KB) + 4 (KB) x 3,600 (s) = 360,000 KB (About 352 MB)
* The MPEG-4 Bit Rate is dependent on the value of MPEG-4 Bit Rate in  Video Streaming in the camera settings.
