We have run recording tests and determined estimated maximum recording times for each streaming quality in addition to recording to the microSD card only.
Please note that if you are livestreaming, your event will continue broadcasting even if you run out of recording space on your microSD card.
When you select Record, and then choose your quality, the Mevo app provides an estimate of available capacity for the selected quality in the bottom left corner of the screen. As a general reference, the recording bitrates for each resolution are:
4K - 40Mbps
1080p - 20Mbps
720p - 10Mbps
In addition, streaming bitrates range as follows:
1080p - 1.2-4Mbps
720p - 0.9-3.6Mbps
480p - 0.6-1.6Mbps
360p - 0.4-1.1Mbps
Important: The numbers reflected here are estimated maximum recording times based on our testing. Times can vary depending on the content being recorded due to bitrate fluctuation when processing the video data.
- Lots of movement in video (e.g. sports) = more video data recorded = less recording space
- Little of movement in video (e.g. panel discussion) less video data recorded = more recording space
