Note on File Sizes and Variability

The file sizes listed in this table are approximate values based on sample exports from a single Evercam setup. These values are intended to serve as general estimates only.

Actual file sizes may vary significantly depending on several factors, including:

  • Camera settings (e.g., resolution, frame rate, compression format)

  • Scene activity: Higher motion or visual complexity on site generally results in larger files due to increased data and reduced compression efficiency.

  • Clip duration and content: Even for a fixed-duration clip (e.g., 30 seconds or 5 minutes), the file size may increase if more motion or image complexity is present.

  • Image capture rate: In our test case, the system averaged ~365 images per hour. Your setup may differ, affecting output file size—especially for time-lapse or cloud-based video generation.

Evercam uses H.265 (HEVC) compression, which helps reduce file sizes, but the final result is still highly dependent on real-world site conditions and camera behavior.

We recommend treating these values as a ballpark estimate. Your actual export sizes may be larger or smaller based on the specifics of your camera and site environment.
