A 2TB hard drive is a commonly used storage capacity for surveillance systems. It can provide ample space to store recorded video footage from surveillance cameras, depending on factors such as the resolution, frame rate, compression, and retention period.

Higher resolution cameras and higher frame rates will result in larger file sizes. Compression techniques, such as H.264 or H.265, can help reduce the storage requirements by compressing the video files.
To estimate the storage needs, you need to consider the following factors:
