Formula (LaTeX) + variables + units

This section shows the formulas used by the calculator engine, plus variable definitions and units.

Formula (extracted LaTeX)

\[\text{Total Bandwidth (Mbps)} = \text{Bitrate per Camera (Mbps)} \times \text{Number of Cameras}\]

\text{Total Bandwidth (Mbps)} = \text{Bitrate per Camera (Mbps)} \times \text{Number of Cameras}

Formula (extracted LaTeX)

\[\text{Storage (TB)} = \frac{\text{Bitrate (Mbps)} \times 125,000 \times 86400 \times \text{Days} \times \text{Cameras}}{1,000,000,000,000}\]

\text{Storage (TB)} = \frac{\text{Bitrate (Mbps)} \times 125,000 \times 86400 \times \text{Days} \times \text{Cameras}}{1,000,000,000,000}
