STORAGE Relying on traditional desktop drives for video recording surveillance is not good enough as they are not built to withstand constant data writing 52 (continued from previous page) currently deployed in digital systems worldwide. Let’s assume each of these cameras operates at industry-standard resolution, quality and framerate settings, recording 14 days’ worth of data. Even at these typical settings, over 18.4 billion gigabytes (GB) of storage is needed to support the world’s surveillance cameras for a mere twoweek recording period. The number of hard drives needed to provide such storage capacity would stretch across China twice if laid end-toend.” So it certainly looks like we need more space! Looking at the data It is critical the system makes it possible to understand and translate data once it is created and stored securely. Data analysis will not only help in the shorter term with business efficiency and operations, it will help companies stay ahead of their competitors and make better business decisions for the future. Due to this reliability on the data the storage medium chosen must be one that will not struggle to cope with the processes involved. The latest Seagate drives, Skyhawk, boast that it can handle three times the workload of a desktop drive, essential when recording up to 64 cameras while WD Purple units feature AllFrame technology which reduces video interruptions, especially in higher video stream count environments where additional data is being captured at an exponential rate. As previously mentioned, the correct type of drives store video data and allows that information to be accessed for a variety of purposes not only security. These tasks can include understanding people’s movements around a shop - where they look first, where they spend the most time browsing, and the busiest times of the day and week. As a result better business decisions can be made - like the best place to position strategically important stock or items on promotion, or where security team members should be placed to monitor any vulnerable or theft-prone areas of the shop floor. This all sounds great, however, to ensure companies have the right kit and tools in place for video surveillance, it is essential they think about the challenges it will bring in terms of storage. Storage should be one of the first things that businesses consider - especially as more and more companies will want to analyse data over longer periods of time. Relying on traditional desktop drives for video recording surveillance is not good enough as they are not built to withstand the constant data writing involved with capturing multiple streams of high definition video. The rigours of today’s video surveillance require true 24x7 operations, 365 days a year, and therefore surveillance systems need drives that can handle that level of workload effectively. It has also become increasingly common for data to be held in the Cloud and for these remote servers to be used to allow customers to access their CCTV footage via the platform while on their travels. Some NVR solutions now offer remote monitoring solutions via the use of dedicated apps in addition to Cloud storage for back-up. However the data from cameras is stored and accessed, the value of data is increasing as quickly as the need to store it for longer, so choosing the correct drive for the job is vital. Relying on a standard PC drive in a surveillance system might be cheaper option at install but could be an expensive mistake. Furthermore, given that the leading surveillance drives consume less power and are backed by threeyear warranties and in the case of Skyhawk units, a data recovery service plan, it’s a no-brainer. A company’s data ranks alongside its brand and personnel as the most important factors of business success, so why would anyone cut corners when it comes to securing that vital information? www.psimagazine.co.uk
