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.
What is the difference between an SD card and a hard drive for surveillance?
An SD card is a compact storage device typically used for smaller video recordings, while a hard drive provides larger storage capacities suitable for extensive surveillance footage. Hard drives are ideal for systems requiring significant data retention, whereas SD cards are often used in portable or less demanding setups.

Not all hard drives are compatible with surveillance systems. It is essential to use drives designed for surveillance applications, as they are built to handle continuous writing and have features like enhanced workload ratings, ensuring reliability and performance.
What should I consider when buying storage solutions for my security cameras?
When purchasing storage solutions, consider factors like storage capacity, read/write speeds, reliability, and compatibility with your existing surveillance system. Additionally, evaluate the expected recording duration and the number of cameras to determine the appropriate storage size.
