LTS PLATINUM NVR SERIES
For Installers & Integrators
STORAGE.CALC
Build your camera line-up, set your retention window, and get a straight answer on how many drives — and what capacity — your NVR needs. Includes RAID overhead and network throughput for switch & PoE sizing.
!
Planning estimate only. Bitrate figures are typical values per resolution and codec at standard quality settings — actual storage consumption depends on scene complexity, motion levels, lighting, and the camera's configured bitrate (CBR/VBR). Always confirm against the specific camera's datasheet and, where possible, a short on-site recording test before finalising an order. LTS Security Australia accepts no liability for storage shortfalls based on these estimates.
01 Camera Line-up
Add one row per camera type on the job. Bitrates are typical LTS Platinum / Ajax IP camera figures — override manually if you're working from a spec sheet.
02 Retention & Redundancy
Affects usable capacity and minimum drive count.
