Video storage calculator

Estimate storage for one or more video streams using the average bitrate per stream. Change the recording schedule to compare durations.

Average bitrate (Mbps) Megabits per second, per stream Number of streams All streams use the bitrate entered above Recording hours per day Use 24 for continuous recording Number of days Use 30 for a 30-day period

All streams · per day: 54 GB
Total storage · 30 days: 1,620 GB
Total storage · 30 days: 1.62 TB

How it is calculated: Mbps per stream × number of streams × recording hours per day × days × 0.45 = GB. Total storage covers all streams over the selected number of days (30 days by default). This uses decimal units (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes) and assumes the entered bitrate is the average rate throughout recording. Add capacity for audio, metadata, bitrate peaks, and your storage system's overhead. Frame rate does not need a separate input when the bitrate is already known.
