IQeye MJPEG and H.264 IP Video Storage and Bandwidth Calculator

The Storage and Bandwidth Calculator provides general estimates of consumption for budgeting purposes based on average conditions. ACTUAL CONSUMPTION CAN VARY DRAMATICALLY DEPENDING ON THE APPLICATION AND COMPRESSION USED. For the best results we strongly recommend capturing test video clips at the desired location and using actual results prior to deploying a system.
