Storage media
- Surveillance hard drives – Seagate SkyHawk and Toshiba drives are built for continuous 24/7 writing, unlike an ordinary desktop drive.
- Capacities – 1 TB to 20 TB; a larger drive means a longer recording archive.
- MicroSD cards – Western Digital Purple and Kingston cards for recording inside the camera.
- Why a dedicated drive – surveillance drives tolerate constant write load and vibration, and last considerably longer in the system.
