How much storage do you need?

Unless it's proof to the negative, which in most jurisdictions isn't something you'd ever need to prove, as the burden is on something occurring, after some amount of time most recordings are useless?

I store 48 hours worth unless I'm going to be gone for a long period of time, then I store everything for the duration that I'm gone.

My thinking is that if something happens that I need the footage for, I'll know that I need it within 48 hours.

A 32Gb flash card is able to store about 2 week's worth of video in my system.

How much storage do you need? is a classic question as old as time.

the classic response is "how much you got?"
