This is an estimate. It’s designed to help you understand how different hardware approaches affect upfront cost, not to replace a formal quote. The numbers are based on simple, transparent assumptions so you can sanity-check them easily.

It’s built for teams planning multi-camera deployments, whether you already use smart cameras, already have standard IP cameras, or are starting from scratch.

If you already have standard IP cameras, the estimator assumes those cameras can be reused. It focuses only on the additional hardware needed to run analytics, not replacing equipment you already own.

If you’re starting fresh, the estimator shows what a Compute Node–based deployment would cost for your camera count. Since there’s no existing setup, it doesn’t show “savings vs today,” just the estimated hardware cost.

No. This estimator focuses on hardware only. Software and recurring costs are shown separately so you can evaluate hardware decisions without mixing in licensing or operational expenses.

Use the results as a conversation starter. If the numbers look interesting, the next step is to talk through your deployment details and confirm what applies to your setup.
