Frequently Asked Questions
How much storage does a CCTV camera need?
Surveillance storage needs depend on the resolution (e.g., 1080p, 4K), frame rate (FPS), compression standard (H.264, H.265), and the number of active cameras. A single 1080p camera recording continuously at 15 FPS with H.265 compression uses roughly 20-30 GB per day.
How do H.264 and H.265 video compression differ?
H.265 (HEVC) is twice as efficient as H.264. It cuts bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 50% while maintaining the same image quality, allowing longer storage retention periods.
