One of the effects of the industry’s move toward higher and higher camera resolutions has been increasing demands on surveillance storage solutions. For starters, even with the advent of H.265 compression technology, the deployment of 4K ultra-HD resolution cameras can increase storage demand by 280 percent, says Jessica Burton, global surveillance product manager, Seagate Technology, Cupertino, Calif.
“This only underscores the importance of video storage and how customers can no longer afford to think of storage technologies as an afterthought. Data storage architecture and solutions need to be on the forefront of the security system design process,” she says.
