This calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers. This script creates calculations to estimate approximate disk space needed for your remote monitoring, safety or surveillance system.
The frame rate is set for 30 frames/sec. To determine the space requirement, select the number of cameras from 1 to 20, and select a data rate for compression. Select the amount of free disk space available for the video recording. The disk space here is for video files only and does not include the necessary space for the storage computer's operating system or other files. Click the Calculate button. In our calculation, 1 byte is 8 bits, 1 kb is 1024 bits, 1 MB 024 KB, 1 GB is assumed as 1024 MB; 1 TB is 1024 GB, 1 day is 24 hours. The time of recordings that can be made in the free disk space are shown in days or hours individually. Each is a value that is the equivalent of the other. Each is "the result", not a total of both of them.
