Seagate

Seagate: hard drives for video surveillance

This Seagate selection brings together hard drives from the SkyHawk, SkyHawk AI and SkyHawk T ranges, individually or in packs, intended for video recording on DVRs and NVRs. The SkyHawk AI models are announced by the manufacturer for recorders with image analysis, while the SkyHawk and SkyHawk T are aimed at more conventional video surveillance installations. The interface is SATA, with several capacities available.

The choice depends first of all on the number of cameras, the recording quality and the retention period required: these three elements determine the usable capacity. Then check what your recorder accepts, as the number of bays and the models supported vary from one device to another. See also storage systems and Hikvision, or contact us.

• The usable capacity in relation to your retention period.
• The number of free bays in the recorder and the SATA interface.
• The compatibility list published by the recorder's manufacturer.
• Whether an AI version is worthwhile if the recorder uses image analysis.
