Storage and Recording
Your SOVMIKU system comes with a pre-installed 1TB HDD, utilizing H.265+ video compression technology. This advanced compression reduces file sizes by approximately 50% compared to H.264, without compromising image quality.
- The 1TB HDD can store approximately 40 days of continuous 24/7 video recording for a 4-camera setup before overwriting the oldest footage.
- Cloud Storage: An optional cloud storage service is available for extended or off-site backup. (Subscription may be required).
- SD Card Storage: Each camera also supports local storage via an SD card (up to 256GB per camera, sold separately) when used independently of the NVR.

Maintenance
- Lens Cleaning: Regularly clean camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to ensure clear image quality. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Firmware Updates: Check for and install firmware updates for the NVR and cameras through the EseeCloud app or NVR interface to ensure optimal performance and security.
- Power Supply: Ensure all power adapters are securely connected and free from damage.
- Storage Management: Periodically review recorded footage and manage storage space if necessary. The system automatically overwrites old footage when the HDD is full.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
