Why Seagate Surveillance HDD’S?
Our customers often ask what type of HDD’s are you installing into my Surveillance System? We only use Seagate’s Surveillance edition HDD’S. The reason is easy, they work, they are reliable, and we only want to offer our customers the most complete Surveillance System possible! Below is information directly from Seagate’s website which helps explain why.
Video surveillance systems must deliver full-motion video, captured continuously in real time and often employing high-definition frame resolutions. Now the industry is moving toward integrated security products that consolidate operator consoles, digital imaging and video storage into one comprehensive security solution. Such integrated systems will give rise to entirely new usage models in video surveillance, heavily reliant on hard drives to meet the massive storage requirements imposed by network-ready systems that house 24×7 full-motion and high-definition video.
Seagate categorizes integrated digital video surveillance systems as indoor, enterprise, and ruggedized.
Indoor Video Surveillance
The need to safeguard organizational information and property has prompted more effective indoor video surveillance measures.
Enterprise Video Surveillance
Massive amounts of captured video data demand reliable, secure and multi-drive RAID-based storage solutions; here the hard drive’s high-capacity capabilities shine most prominently.
Ruggedized Video Surveillance
Mobile surveillance is rapidly gaining favor with law enforcement and the military, while outdoor surveillance has become increasingly important in safeguarding public and organizational interests. Both utilize ruggedized drives.
