CCTV Storage calculator
H.265 (recommended) is the latest video compression standard to be supported by newer NVRs, especially for 4K video support. All current CCTV Empire products support this standard.
H.265+ is an enhancement of H.265 that slightly improves the compression. Some systems offer a separate H.265+ setting. Before selecting H.265+, make sure that your DVR/NVR system supports this setting.
H.264 is an older standard but is supported by almost all cameras it is an efficient video compression standard commonly used for HD video (720p and 1080p).
The frame rate is how many images per second your camera captures - for standard realtime choose 25fps, for the best compromise between storage and frame rate choose 12fps.
