Surely the manual will tell you?

I paid someone to supply and install them.
no manual given to me

Lots of variables are required to calculate.

Here is a tool that will do it for you if you know the parameters.

Do google search for the manual?

goto settings , erase and reformat the drive , set to record and look how much is left in 24hrs/48hrs/72hrs/96hrs etc , and work it out yourself

It will provide around 8-9 days of footage depending on your frame rate. Its pretty inefficient and you're better going with motion recording instead.

I had around 6 different companies round to give me their opinions and advice, everyone advised ne against having motion activated , it was actually what I had originally thought would be the best way to record.
When I originally started looking for quote some installers and shops that sell cameras/equipment told me 2TB would record approx 60 days
