Quickly Estimate the Right Storage for Your Surveillance System
When planning or scaling a video surveillance solution, guessing your storage needs can lead to costly overprovisioning — or worse, critical data loss. Our CCTV storage calculator takes the guesswork out of planning.
Whether you're deploying a few 1080p cameras or dozens of 4K and AI-enabled devices, this tool helps you determine exactly how much storage you’ll need based on:
- Retention period (days, weeks, or compliance-driven needs)
- Recording schedule (continuous vs. motion-based)
- Camera resolution (HD, 4K, 8MP, and more)
- Video quality and bitrate
