    What is a CCTV Storage Calculator?

    A CCTV Storage Calculator is a tool that helps determine how much storage is required to store your CCTV footage for a set number of days. The storage estimate is calculated based on the following fields:

    • Number of Cameras: The total number of cameras in your CCTV system.
    • Frames per Second (FPS): The frame rate at which each camera records video. Higher FPS provides smoother footage but requires more storage.
    • Hours per Day: The number of hours each camera records per day. Continuous recording increases storage usage compared to motion-based or scheduled recording.
    • Number of Days Stored: How many days of footage you want to store before it gets overwritten.
    • Resolution: The video resolution (e.g., 720p, 1080p, or 4K). Higher resolutions capture more detail but require more storage.

    How to Use the CCTV Storage Calculator

    1. Input Number of Cameras: Enter the total number of CCTV cameras in your system.
    2. Select Frames per Second (FPS): Choose the frame rate (e.g., 15 FPS, 30 FPS) for each camera.
    3. Enter Hours per Day: Specify how many hours each camera records daily (e.g., 24 hours for continuous recording or fewer for scheduled recording).
    4. Input Number of Days Stored: Decide how many days of footage you need to store.
    5. Choose the Resolution: Select the video quality (e.g., 720p, 1080p, or 4K) based on your camera’s capabilities and storage capacity.

    Once all fields are entered, instantly get an estimate of how much storage you’ll need for your system.
