A sophisticated storage calculator for video surveillance professionals.
A sophisticated storage calculator for video surveillance professionals.
IPVS Calc calculates data rates, storage requirements and recording duration for an unlimited number of network video cameras, providing immediate feedback as system parameters are changed. It automatically takes into account a large number of factors and adjustments, such as RAID overhead and unit conversions.
The design of IPVS Calc ensures consistent answers. It's immune to typos and decimal point errors and prevents the user from accidently omitting part of the calculation. It's very useful for answering "what-if" questions and for figuring out how to best to meet customers' video storage and retention goals. You can use it right there with the customer and show them the results in plain English.
