dsh-sd-capacity

Planning storage capacity for video surveillance and security deployments is a common headache: rough hand-made estimates can easily lead to under-provisioning or wasted hardware. dsh-sd-capacity turns that calculation into a repeatable tool—supply the relevant parameters and get a precise capacity figure back, without the back-and-forth of spreadsheet math.

The plugin is written in pure Node.js with zero network dependencies, so it runs fast and stays entirely local. Once installed, it registers a tool called sd_capacity that you can invoke directly in your session; every computation happens on your own machine, a natural fit for environments where data privacy and offline reliability matter.

Security system administrators, integrators sizing storage for client projects, and ops engineers iterating on retention specifications can all pull a clean, structured capacity report in seconds and focus their time on the decisions that truly move the needle.
