How Much CCTV Storage Do I Need?

CCTV storage depends on camera count, resolution, compression, frame rate and whether you record continuously or on motion.\n\nAs a rough guide, a single 1080p camera recording continuously at H.265 uses about 20-40GB per day. 4K cameras can use 4-6x more.\n\nUse our built-in CCTV Storage Calculator to get an instant estimate and recommended surveillance-rated drives.
