CCTV Storage Calculator

Estimate how much recording storage a CCTV system needs from camera count, bitrate, recording hours and retention.

Results

Storage per camera per day: 0.00 GB

Total storage needed: 0.00 TB

Estimate only. Real bitrates vary with scene activity, frame rate and camera settings -- check the camera's own bitrate figure. RAID and file-system overhead are not included.

How it works

Storage per camera per day is the bitrate x the recording time (hours x the share of time actually recording). Multiply by the number of cameras and the retention period in days to get the total capacity the recorder needs.
