Designing a CCTV system requires more than simply selecting cameras. Accurate storage calculations are essential to ensure your recording solution provides sufficient capacity throughout the required retention period without unnecessary oversizing.
The CCTVDesign Storage Calculator provides a fast and practical way to estimate storage requirements based on camera quantity, resolution, codec, frame rate, recording duration and retention period. It also allows storage redundancy and RAID overhead to be included, helping produce realistic engineering estimates for system design.
Whether you’re preparing a quotation, designing a new installation or validating an existing specification, the calculator provides clear, professional outputs suitable for use during the design process.
