Estimating your security storage is the first step toward a reliable surveillance system. While this calculator provides a professional-grade estimate, factors like motion-sensing, frame rates, and lighting conditions can impact your actual hard drive needs.
At Longnecker DataCom, we don't just guess, we engineer. Whether you are looking to upgrade an existing system or install brand new Uniview/Titanium equipment, we ensure your retention policy meets your industry's compliance standards.

While there is no "one-size-fits-all" law, the industry standard for small businesses is 30 days. This ensures that if an incident (like an insurance claim or employee issue) isn't reported immediately, the footage is still there when you need it.
Yes. H.265 (High-Efficiency Video Coding) is the modern standard we use at Longnecker DataCom. It can reduce your storage needs by up to 40% compared to older systems, allowing you to keep more footage without buying extra drives.
Higher resolution means more data. A 4K (8MP) camera requires significantly more storage than a standard 1080p camera to maintain the same level of history. We help you balance "crystal clear" detail with a storage plan that fits your budget.
Standard computer drives are designed to run 8 hours a day; surveillance drives are built for 24/7 continuous writing & overwriting. Using the wrong drive is the #1 cause of system failure, which is why we only install enterprise-grade hardware.
It is a professional-grade estimator. Real-world factors like motion-detection settings and lighting conditions will cause small variations in your actual storage. For a precision build, we always recommend a professional site survey.
