DIGITAL SURVEILLANCE

Modern digital surveillance systems generate massive volumes of high-definition video footage that must be stored securely and retained for extended periods of time, often to meet compliance, legal, or safety requirements. Attempting to store this footage directly on individual PCs is both risky and impractical—most desktop systems lack the disk capacity required for long-term storage, and they expose valuable data to potential loss from hardware failure, accidental deletion, or theft.

A centralized storage solution such as Network Attached Storage (NAS), an iSCSI storage system, or a dedicated disc media server provides the ideal infrastructure to manage these growing surveillance archives. By consolidating video data in a secure and scalable environment, businesses, institutions, and security teams can ensure reliable access, simplify file management, and protect critical evidence against data loss.

These storage systems offer enormous capacity for long-term retention, making them perfectly suited to handle the demands of continuous video recording from multiple camera feeds. Additionally, for backup and redundancy, surveillance data can be archived on optical media such as CD, DVD, or Blu-ray discs, offering an additional layer of data security and compliance-ready storage.

By leveraging centralized storage technology for digital surveillance, organizations can achieve a balance of performance, security, and scalability. This ensures that surveillance data remains protected, accessible, and manageable—both today and as storage requirements grow in the future.
