Customers want to invest in technology that enables them to expand their capabilities to support future needs. This is especially true in the security industry, where the development of technology, such as high megapixel cameras, have placed greater demands on bandwidth consumption, and in turn, storage devices. It’s critical to build in storage growth, even if that exact amount of storage is not required today. The last thing one wants is for a customer to consume all of their storage sp...

Calculating video storage can be a challenge, especially with the widespread use of higher megapixel cameras, which can quickly consume storage space while bandwidth constraints can impact video clarity. Because of this, it’s important to consider a few factors when determining video storage needs. First, the number of cameras that will be part of the system and the resolution of each camera. Second, the amount of archived video the customer will store and the duration. Some end-users nee...
