HDDs FOR SURVEILLANCE Increasing security concerns have caused governments, businesses and organisations of all sizes to invest significantly in digital video surveillance systems. Drive-based surveillance systems are now the norm, enabling users to store higher resolution content 24x7 and back them up. Standard desktop-class hard drives are designed for 8x5 operation, whereas a DVR or high-end surveillance system typically runs all day, every day, recording simultaneous video streams; therefore requiring a drive that meets the 24x7 workload and performance requirements. Hammer has a range of drives suited specifically for surveillance market solutions and also offers our SecuriStore range of servers designed for IPCCTV and security.
