Surveillance Card Capacity and Life Estimator Tool
Do you know your camera’s recording parameters and want to know what size micro secure digital (microSD) card to install? Do you want to know how long your card may last if it has a certain endurance level? Use this tool to help estimate the minimum card size you will need, as well as help estimate the life of the card given its endurance level. This tool can help you capture the footage you need, and continuously record as long as you need it.
In compatible cameras, card health monitoring capability allows you to get notified about the health status of your WD Purple microSD card. This capability can help you perform preemptive storage management. By using the WD Purple microSD with card monitor system, you can help reduce downtime, save time and money, and optimize system maintenance.
Western Digital Device Analytics™
Western Digital Device Analytics (WDDA) provides a wealth of storage device parametric operational and diagnostic data to the system. Its algorithms interpret the data and direct the system to alert system administrators of specific recommended actions to address potential issues. WDDA is intended to empower original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators, and information technology (IT) professionals to better monitor and proactively manage supported storage devices to maintain optimal operation. With WDDA, customers are provided with a trusted storage platform that truly creates environments for surveillance and smart video data to thrive.
Choose the right WD Purple HDDs by using this Surveillance Storage Capacity Estimator tool. Enter the details of your surveillance solution – such as number of cameras, camera resolution, frame rate, and video retention requirements – and this tool will help estimate the total amount of storage needed for your system. With this estimate, you can then choose the quantity and capacity points of WD Purple hard disk drives (HDDs) to meet the storage capacity requirements of your system.

Video format
MJPEG is an older standard for video compression. First used in the mid 1990s, it is less efficient and is likely the more common standard for lower resolution video.
H.264, also known as Advanced Video Coding (AVC), was introduced in 2003 and is an efficient video compression standard commonly used for HD video (720p and 1080p) and Blu-Ray discs.
H.265, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), was introduced in 2013 and is the latest video compression standard to be supported by newer NVRs, especially for 4K video support. Before selecting H.265, make sure that your DVR/NVR system supports this standard.
H.265+ is an enhancement of H.265 that slightly improves the compression effectiveness. Some systems offer a separate H.265+ setting. Before selecting H.265+, make sure that your DVR/NVR system supports this setting.
Video quality
Video quality describes the level of visual detail (low, medium, high) for the video format selected. This setting can be configured on some cameras. If the setting is not available in your camera, select Medium.
Scene activity
Scene activity describes the expected level of scene activity/movement in the video being captured (high/medium/low); higher activity will result in higher capacity needed. For example, low scene activity could include a street alley or hallway, and high scene activity could include a casino floor or busy highway.

* This Surveillance Card Capacity and Life Estimator tool is provided for illustrative purposes only. Total expected life of a card and minimum card size needed are calculated based on parameters selected in the tool, typical compression ratios determined solely by Western Digital for MJPEG, H.264, H.265, and H.265+ , video formats and color depth based on 30 bits for 4K resolution and higher and 16 bits for all other resolutions. Storage capacity needs may vary depending on video format, compression ratio, camera resolution, frames per second, color depth, system capabilities, components, hardware, configurations, settings, and software, and other factors. Any reliance on this tool and its output is at the third party’s own risk. As used for storage capacity, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes. Total accessible capacity on storage devices and total life of storage devices may vary depending on operating environment.
