We created a free web based calculator to estimate video archive storage space for your video surveillance system or simply for 1 camera you installed. The calculator also estimates required network bandwidth for IP cameras.

It is a web app (Javascript+React) that runs in a browser or on a tablet or a smartphone.

Presently, the most common compression codecs are H.264 and H.265 . Their advantage is a high level of video compression, which saves space in the video archive. Motion JPEG compression is also supported. And here is a manual for the calculator https://www.jvsg.com/cctv-storage-calculator/

Today we launched the CCTV Storage Calculator on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/cctv-storage-calculator
