What decides it
A surveillance drive is built for sustained sequential writes from many streams at once, which is the opposite of what a desktop drive is tuned for. SkyHawk and WD Purple, in the capacities recorders are actually specified with.
Which surveillance HDD should a 16-camera recorder use?
A surveillance-rated drive sized from retention days and total camera bitrate, never a desktop drive. Seagate SkyHawk and WD Purple suit standard recorders, while SkyHawk AI and WD Purple Pro handle analytics and heavier channel counts. Data Systems supplies both Seagate and Western Digital surveillance HDD families for DVR and NVR builds.
Asked at the counter
Who supplies surveillance hard drives in Hyderabad?
Data Systems in Secunderabad supplies surveillance drives as material across Hyderabad and ships across India. The counter carries the Seagate SkyHawk and Western Digital Purple ranges in the capacities recorders actually take, and quotes them beside the recorder so the drive matches the bays and the workload.
Why not use an ordinary desktop drive in a recorder?
A surveillance drive is built for a write that never stops, from several cameras at once, in a box that runs every hour of the year. Desktop drives are specified for a fraction of that duty and for occasional reads, and their error recovery behaviour is wrong for a recorder, which wants the drive to move on rather than pause. The drive is the cheapest part of the system and the one whose failure loses the footage.
