Recording Accessories
Recording accessories extend capacity, improve reliability, and simplify service for DVRs and NVRs. Select surveillance-grade hard drives for 24/7 workloads, SD cards for edge recording, expansion bays and hot-swap cases for scalable storage and fast replacement, hard drive readers for off-line evidence export, and expansion cards when additional interfaces are required. Verify interface and form factor (SATA/SAS, 3.5"/2.5"), bay count and RAID options, workload/MTBF ratings, and environmental specifications to match retention and uptime targets. For a balanced system, pair accessories with the right NVRs, capture cards, and recording software.

Recording Accessories Frequently Asked Questions
What are recording accessories for surveillance systems?
Recording accessories are components used to enhance the functionality and storage capacity of surveillance systems. These include hard drives, SD cards, and RAID storage solutions that enable the recording and retention of video footage from security cameras.
How do I choose the right hard drive for my surveillance system?
Selecting the right hard drive involves considering the storage capacity, speed, and compatibility with your surveillance system. Look for drives specifically designed for surveillance, as they offer enhanced performance and reliability for continuous recording and playback.
