How It Works

This calculator helps you determine the storage capacity needed for your CCTV system based on several factors:

  • Number of Cameras: Total cameras in your system
  • Resolution: Higher resolution requires more storage
  • Frame Rate: Frames per second (fps) affects storage
  • Recording Hours: Daily recording duration
  • Retention Days: How long you want to store footage
  • Compression: H.265 reduces storage by ~50% vs H.264

Important Note: These calculations are estimates based on average bitrates. Actual storage requirements may vary based on scene complexity, motion levels, and specific camera models. We recommend adding 20-30% buffer to the calculated storage for optimal performance. For professional consultation, contact our team.
