CCTV site planner

Three calculators for planning a security camera system: NVR storage and bandwidth, PoE switch budget, and lens pixel density. Each one produces a summary you can paste into a quote or proposal.

01

Storage & bandwidth

Work out how many terabytes an NVR needs for your retention period, how many drives that means with RAID, and how much bandwidth the cameras put on the network.

Open calculator →02

PoE budget

Check whether a PoE switch can power every camera, PTZ and access point on the job, with headroom, enough ports and the right PoE standard on each port.

Open calculator →03

Lens & DORI

Check whether a camera and lens can actually identify a face, recognize a person or just detect movement at the distance you need, using the IEC 62676-4 DORI levels.
