Why choose a surveillance hard drive instead of a desktop hard drive?
Surveillance drives are designed for continuous recording workloads and are optimised for DVR and NVR systems operating 24 hours a day, unlike standard desktop drives which are intended for intermittent use.
Is this compatible with Dahua NVRs?
Yes. The Seagate SkyHawk 4TB is compatible with most Dahua NVRs and DVRs that support standard 3.5-inch SATA surveillance hard drives.
How many cameras can this drive support?
The SkyHawk 4TB range is designed to support systems with up to 64 HD cameras, depending on your recorder and recording settings.
How long will 4TB record for?
Recording time depends on factors including the number of cameras, resolution, frame rate, compression settings and whether recording is continuous or motion activated. A 4TB drive generally provides significantly longer retention than a 2TB drive.
Can this drive be installed in a desktop PC?
Yes, it uses a standard 3.5-inch SATA interface. However, it is specifically optimised for surveillance recording rather than everyday desktop computing.
