Bytes measure digital information size. One byte equals eight bits and represents a single character, such as a letter or number.
For example, video files often use megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB) to show size. Knowing bytes helps users estimate storage needs for surveillance footage.
While bits measure data transfer speeds, bytes indicate how much data a file holds. Understanding this difference helps optimize network and storage management.
By managing bytes well, organizations balance storage capacity and video quality in security systems.
