YouTube’s 1080p is 5 megabits per second, not 130 megabytes per second.

So 2TB lasts 37 days, meaning blowski is right.

Of course powering that bodycam will be a different matter.

Of course this is all academic: the file size depends on the codec, ie how much you want to trade power for space. YT/Netflix/etc obviously trade for file size very well. But a body-worn device isn't as capable.

Take the Axon Body 2 as an example, the gold standard for police bodycams. According to its specs [0] it'll record 12 hours of 1080p video on its 64GB internal storage.

So using H.264 it produces 64gb/12hr == 5.333 (repeating of course) GB/hr, making 2TB / 5.333GB == 375 hours, or about 15.625 days
