Yes, this is one of the most critical components of a reliable system. Standard computer hard drives are built to work for a few hours a day. In contrast, a CCTV system in Glasgow is writing high-definition data 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We exclusively use Surveillance-Grade hard drives, such as the Western Digital Purple series, for all our Renfrewshire installations.
These drives are engineered to handle the constant heat and vibrations of continuous recording. Using a standard drive in a high-def system in East Renfrewshire is a recipe for failure, often leading to data corruption just when you need to retrieve footage of an incident. At Safe AR Solutions, we calculate the storage needed to give you at least 30 days of backup, ensuring that your digital evidence is stored on hardware that is as tough as the cameras themselves.
