Your CCTV security system is only as good as the hard disk backing it. A CCTV camera is just the beginning of a surveillance system, the seeing eye. WD Purple hard drives are the heart and brain of surveillance, powering the entire dynamic to help keep you safe, without skipping a beat.
The whole purpose of installing CCTV cameras is to be able to clearly record what is happening and to go back and check the footage whenever needed. General desktop hard-drives are typically not tested for high write work-loads compared to surveillance HDDs. The storage device for a security camera system should be able to record, store and re-play videos non-stop from multiple feeds. In case of any technical glitch that can cause hang-ups, the hard drive should have features to help move on to capture the next frame, or risk losing crucial footage.
Surveillance systems can be extremely demanding, requiring uninterrupted capture and streaming, endurance for wide weather fluctuations and adaptability for unforeseen errors. Western Digital, a global leader in digital storage solutions, offers an unmatched portfolio of storage devices for surveillance cameras; for DVRs, standard and AI enabled NVRs, server-based VMSs, and cloud server based CCTV systems.
