Chapter 9: Calculator
Five real-time interactive calculators for PoE budget, bandwidth, cable length, storage capacity, and UPS sizing. All results update instantly as you adjust inputs.
⚡ PoE Budget Calculator
Calculate the total PoE power demand for your camera deployment and verify against switch capacity. Supports mixed camera types with different PoE classes.
📡 Network Bandwidth Calculator
Estimate total network bandwidth required for your surveillance system, including video streams, motion overhead, and management traffic. Results help size uplinks and backbone capacity.
📏 Cable Length & Quantity Calculator
Calculate the total cable required for your project, including horizontal runs, patch cords, and backbone fiber. Accounts for slack, routing overhead, and waste factor.
💾 Storage Capacity Calculator
Calculate the total storage required for your NVR/VMS system based on camera count, resolution, frame rate, and retention period. Results include RAID overhead and spare capacity.
🔋 UPS Sizing Calculator
Calculate the required UPS capacity and battery runtime for your surveillance equipment room or zone cabinet. Accounts for power factor, inrush current, and runtime requirements.
