How Much Space Do I Need to Store the Footage?

Enter cameras and days. Get the disk size.

Talk to ARX
The short answer

The space depends on four things: how many cameras, the resolution of each one, how many days you want to keep the footage and whether recording is continuous or only when there is motion.

Estimated space

…

This is an estimate, with current compression (H.265). The design confirms the number with the chosen equipment.

Questions and answers

How many days should I keep the footage?

It depends on your risk and your routine. Keeping 15 to 30 days is common. If you usually notice a problem only weeks later, such as during an inventory count, it is worth keeping more.

How much does recording only on motion save?

It varies a lot with the location. In low-traffic areas, such as a storeroom at night, the savings are large. In a busy reception area, they are small. The calculator uses an average.

Why is the calculator's result an estimate?

Because the actual space depends on the scene, the lighting, the camera model and the compression settings. The final calculation is done in the design phase, with the chosen equipment.
