CCTV network and NVR link planner
Calculate aggregate camera bitrate, then continue detailed storage sizing in Home Storage Lab.
2. Theoretical estimates
Warning: RAID is not a backup. Filesystem, metadata and vendor-reserved space can reduce actual capacity.
Calculation basis
Mbps × 1,000,000 ÷ 8 × seconds → bytes
1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes · 1 TB = 1,000 GB

Next: finalize storage and RAID
This page calculates aggregate camera bitrate only. Recheck retention, operating headroom, RAID and drive purchase capacity in the storage-focused calculator.

Clicking this link sends only camera count, bitrate, recording hours, retention days and headroom in the destination URL; they may be visible in browser history and server logs.
