IP Camera CCTV Calculator (formerly CCTVCAD Calculator)2.0.0.0

IP Camera CCTV Calculator is an advanced network bandwidth and storage space calculator for IP CCTV design. The tool is able to calculate network traffic streamed by IP cameras and video encoders and disk space needed for storing video archives during a custom time.

User interface

The layout may seem a bit overwhelming at a first glance but this is only because the utility comes packed with many dedicated parameters. If you want to find out more about the program’s features, you can check out the built-in help manual.The app lets you create multiple projects and manually input camera data or import camera list from VideoCAD project file or from VideoCAD app installed on the same computer.

Exporting options and other handy features

The generated table can be printed or exported to TXT, CSV, HTML, RTF, or XLS file format. Additionally, you can copy, paste, import cells and rows within the table and in/to MS Excel, perform search operations, filter cameras by different criteria, show and hide columns, change table’s width and height, and freeze columns.What’s more, you can duplicate or delete cameras, reveal or conceal the camera detailed panel, as well as take into account characteristics of used equipment and compression features using special calculation patterns.

An overall efficient calculator

To sum things up, IP Camera CCTV Calculator proves to be a reliable application that comprises several handy features for calculating video bandwidth and storage space, and is suitable especially for advanced users.
