IP Camera Bandwidth Calculator

IP CCTV format network cameras and NVRs utilize a decentralized Ethernet IP backbone architecture. To ensure your network is capable of supporting the bandwidth required for HD video, input the stream info below to determine the bandwidth required.

We recommend using only pure copper cabling, premium quality Urban Security Group products and efficient networking configurations to achieve maximum throughput and system stability.

   Typically H.265

  Best Balance of Video Quality & Bandwidth Usage = 1080P 2MP

  Typically Medium

  Best Balance of Video Quality & Hard Drive Space Usage = 10-15FPS

 

Approximate Bandwidth Required:

 

Our multipliers for “Video Quality”:
1PM … low = 27 / medium = 61 / high = 105
2MP … low = 76 / medium = 133 / high = 198
3MP … low = 132 / medium = 265 / high = 422
5M … low = 230 / medium = 452 / high = 637
8MP … low = 522 / medium = 954 / high = 1456
