Every CCTV camera systems captures and records videos where such videos or images do not just vanishes into thin air but rather they are preserved and stored for purposes of review later on especially in reviewing previously captured images or videos that could lead to the solving of a crime. Indeed, the storage media is an essential part of the whole CCTV camera system for without it there will be no use for the passive security system or device. It is a known fact that an image or a video recorded have large file sizes because of the fact that several data are encoded or embedded in the video or image. This is the reason why the need for a storage media with a large capacity is needed especially for CCTV camera systems that functions for twenty-four hours.
To solve such problems in storage capacity several companies have developed storage media that have a large file storage capacity. One of such companies is Seagate, one of the leading companies in developing and manufacturing Hard Disk Drives, which currently released the Savvio 10K.4 Hard Disk Drive. The Savvio 10k.4 hard disk drive is considered to be the world’s highest capacity small form factor (SFF) drive which is capable of storage of up to six hundred gigabytes (600GB). The Hard Disk Drive runs on a 10K-RPM and enables 3.5 inch to 2.5 inch form factor transition.
Other features that comes with the Savvio 10K.4 Hard Disk drive is that it is the first 2M-hour MTBF that will give the Hard Disk Drive a higher reliability index as compared with other hard disk drives available. It also contributes to the reduction of energy consumption because of its SFF nature and its end-user cooling features. Finally, because of it’s design it enables OEM’s and system designers to develop external storage solution that will conform to any green IT strategies.
