Solution
Firstly, be sure the current camera recording settings and bitrates match those used in your system’s configuration calculations prior to purchasing the system.
Second, compare the maximum bitrate and the current bitrate. If the current bitrate is well below the max bitrate then the issue doesn’t lie with the bitrate/quality settings. If however the current bitrate is constantly hitting the maximum bitrate limit then it is related to this issue.
To resolve this high bitrate issue you can try dropping the bitrate to a lower amount, adjusting the framerate so less images are captured per second. Consider dropping the quality of the footage if applicable and reducing the resolution of the captured footage. This will allow the server to store the required quota of footage.
