data flow and storage calculation for body camera

The smart helmet/law enforcement recorder supports H.265, with an average consumption of 1GB per hour (video resolution not higher than H.265@720P). Assuming an 8-hour workday, a single device consumes 8GB of video recording data per day.

The bureau requires the preservation of videos for 6 months, which amounts to 8*180=1.5TB,

Videos and recordings from devices such as law enforcement recorders and smart helmets can be stored on servers, namely cloud recording, through download plans and other methods. The requirements for hard drives are roughly as follows:

Based on the calculation of 40 devices and the storage of video files for 6 months, the space requirement for centralized storage of videos on the server is:

1.5TB*40=60TB

The current server computer can support up to 6 disk bays, with a mainstream maximum of 15TB per individual hard drive. Such a server host can meet the requirements.
