Bandwidth Calculator

This Bandwidth Calculator will estimate total bandwidth usage on your network base on the type, number and configuration of your IP or Wi-fi cameras.

CAMERAS

For each Type provide the Quantity, Compression used, Frames per second and how you will be connecting the camera. If your camera supports dual streams (Mainstream and Substreams) then enter your Substream settings as well otherwise leave them blank. If only one type of camera will be used then complete Camera Type 1 only. You can add up to 4 different camera types.
