Hard Drives

Surveillance hard drives store security video. Collsam Security carries Seagate SkyHawk and Western Digital WD Purple drives. These CCTV hard drives work with supported recorders. DVR hard drives serve supported digital video recorders. NVR hard drives serve supported network video recorders. Video surveillance storage starts with the drive and recorder.

Surveillance hard drives are made for video use. They can write camera footage for long periods. They keep clips for review. Yet every recorder has limits. Check the recorder model before you buy. Next, review its supported drive list. Check the drive bay size and its data link. Also check the highest drive size the unit can use. Therefore, these steps help avoid a poor match.

For example, CCTV hard drives can serve homes, shops, offices, schools, and warehouses. DVR hard drives fit systems that record coax camera video. NVR hard drives fit systems that record network camera streams. Therefore, the right drive helps video surveillance storage work as planned. It does not add tools that the recorder cannot use.

Collsam Security sells surveillance hard drives from only two groups. Those groups are Seagate SkyHawk and WD Purple. However, models vary by size and stock. So, read each product page before you buy. Check the model, drive size, warranty, and facts. Also, do not choose a drive by size alone. Think about camera count, record time, image quality, frame rate, and how long to keep video.

First, back up any video you must keep. Then follow the recorder maker’s setup steps. New surveillance hard drives may need recorder setup. Therefore, check support before replacement or expansion. Choose surveillance hard drives that fit your recorder and recording plan. Contact Collsam Security if you need help with the right choice.
