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).

Version 5.1 of CCTV Design Tool
Possibility to modify Focal Length and immediately calculate new field of view.

Implemented completely different algorithm of MPEG4 bandwidth and storage space estimation, based on our recent MPEG4 research. Added 8 new MPEG-4 and H.264 resolutions.

Implemented new way of H.264 calculation.

Added new options for bandwidth calculation: “Image Complexity” and “Motion %” in Expert Mode (Menu/Settings/Expert Mode).

Added new buttons for fast modification of Focal Length, Width, and Object Width.

Supported several new camera PAL and NTSC resolutions, including 704×288, 1280×960, 1280×1024 and 2600×1950.

Results of bandwidth calculations were tested with several AXIS, Panasonic network cameras and compared with data from AXIS corporation.

Added internal localization tool (Menu/Settings/Language/Localization Tool).

JVSG happy to announce the new software for video surveillance designers - CCTV Design Tool.
