Western Digital Highlights the Importance of CCTV-Optimized Storage Solutions


As CCTV cameras become increasingly prevalent across India in various settings—ranging from traffic signals and shopping centers to schools and residences—the importance of selecting the right storage solution cannot be overstated. Not all storage drives are created equal, and choosing a drive designed specifically for surveillance can significantly enhance the performance and reliability of a CCTV system.


The WD Purple® Pro drives, available in capacities up to 22TB, are engineered for 24/7 video streaming, supporting up to 550 TB/year. These drives offer the endurance and reliability needed to consistently record and store large volumes of video data, even in extreme environmental conditions. Their low-power profiles reduce power consumption and heat generation, ensuring smooth operation and minimizing the risk of data loss or system failure. With AllFrame™ AI technology, these drives enhance ATA streaming, reduce frame loss, and support up to 32 AI streams for deep learning analytics.

 

Complementing these hard drives, the WD Purple SC QD101 Ultra Endurance microSD cards provide on-camera storage with capacities of up to 1TB. Designed for the challenges of surveillance systems, these microSD cards offer the robustness, performance, and reliability required for always-on environments, ensuring reliable operation even in difficult-to-reach camera placements.

 

“Western Digital’s WD Purple portfolio is specifically designed to cater to the evolving needs of CCTV setups,” said Khalid Wani, Senior Director, Sales, India, Western Digital. “The WD Purple Pro Smart Video HDDs, with capacities up to 22TB, are built for 24/7 reliability, while our WD Purple microSD cards offer robust endurance. These solutions ensure seamless video playback and support advanced analytics, making them ideal for modern surveillance systems.”

 

In summary, Western Digital’s surveillance-grade storage solutions, including the WD Purple Pro HDDs and WD Purple SC QD101 microSD cards, are essential for ensuring that CCTV systems operate smoothly and effectively, safeguarding crucial video data in any environment.
