Advanced Storage Planner

Best for: modeling dense systems, retention cliffs, bitrate spikes, and storage headroom under average versus peak behavior.

What this models

Average versus peak ingest under real-duty recording behavior
Retention pressure against a required target window
How much bitrate headroom exists before the current plan fails

Inputs

Average bitrate is your expected steady-state value. Motion / duty scales the real recorded load, and peak multiplier models spike behavior during more difficult scenes.

Camera count

Average bitrate per camera (Mbps)

Motion / recording duty (%)

Peak multiplier (x)

Usable storage (TB)

Target retention (days)

Back to Video & Storage

Unit note: bitrate is converted using decimal GB/day so planning output matches the way network and storage teams usually discuss ingest.
