IK10 System Design Calculators
Chapter 9 — Five interactive real-time calculators for storage capacity, network bandwidth, PoE power budget, pixel density (PPF), and UPS runtime sizing
Storage Capacity Calculator
Calculate the total storage required for your IK10 surveillance system based on camera count, resolution, frame rate, codec efficiency, and retention period. Results update in real time as you adjust the sliders.
Network Bandwidth Calculator
Calculate the total network bandwidth required for your surveillance system, including video streams, management traffic overhead, and event-triggered burst traffic. The gauge shows the utilization level against your available uplink capacity.
PoE Power Budget Calculator
Calculate the total PoE power budget required for your edge switch, including cameras, strobes, intercoms, and other PoE devices. Verify that your switch's total PoE budget is sufficient with the recommended 30% headroom.
Pixel Density (PPF) Calculator
Calculate the Pixels Per Foot (PPF) or Pixels Per Meter (PPM) at a given distance to verify that your camera can meet the identification, recognition, or detection requirements for the zone. IK10 deployments typically require ≥40 PPF for face identification.
UPS Runtime Calculator
Calculate the required UPS capacity and battery runtime for your IK10 surveillance system. Includes cameras, switches, NVR/VMS server, and other loads. Results show the minimum UPS VA rating and battery Wh required for your target runtime.
