Localization already available

As of today, following localizations are available for version 5.4:

Spanish ES.ini

Portuguese (Brazilian) BR.ini

Italian IT.ini

Swedish SW.ini

You can right-click the link, select “Save As …” then save the localization file into software folder, launch the software and select your language from Menu/Settings/Language.

Your language is not listed?

If you’re interested in getting a new language, you can do it very easily without any particular knowledge.
Just do the following:

• Menu/Settings/Language Tool
• Modify the “value” entries in your language
• Save it as your language  and send it to us.
• We will then be very happy to integrate your new language in the immediate next version

IP Camera Bandwidth and Disk Space Calculator is a special software tool made for calculation of required network bandwidth and storage space for network IP camera based video surveillance system of any size from small to big.

Just select your network camera resolution, compression level from drop-down lists, enter required FPS (frame per second) and total number of CCTV cameras and get the result.

In compare with online calculators you can calculate network bandwidth and storage space for many network cameras simultaneously. Software does not need an Internet connection and it has a really fast and friendly user interface.

Starting from version 5 it supports following camera resolutions:
320×240 (QVGA), 352×240 (CIF NTSC), 352×288 (CIF PAL), 480×360, 640×480 (VGA), 704×240, 704×288, 704×576, 1280×960, 1280×1024, 1600×1200, 2048×1536 and 2600×1950.

Following compression are supported: MJPEG (Motion JPEG), MPEG-4, H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC).

Important: at the moment we offer  more comprehensive IP Video/CCTV tool called IP Video System Design Tool and we highly recommend to purchase this new design software instead of the calculator.
