Choosing 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, 6TB, 8TB or 10TB CCTV Storage
The right surveillance HDD capacity depends on the number of cameras, recording resolution, frame rate, video compression and required footage retention period.
- 1TB and 2TB: Consider for smaller recording requirements where the calculated retention period is sufficient.
- 4TB: Provides additional capacity for compatible CCTV systems.
- 6TB: Suitable for installations requiring more recording space.
- 8TB: Offers higher capacity for supported multi-camera recording systems.
- 10TB: Provides greater storage capacity for compatible larger recording requirements.
However, storage capacity alone cannot guarantee a specific number of recording days. Calculate the required space using the actual recording settings.
How to Choose the Right Surveillance Hard Drive
First, identify the DVR or NVR model. Next, confirm its supported hard drive specifications.
- Capacity: Calculate storage requirements based on recording settings.
- Interface: Confirm SATA compatibility.
- Form factor: Check the supported drive size, commonly 3.5 inches.
- Workload rating: Review the manufacturer's annual workload specification.
- Camera support: Check the exact drive's supported recording workload.
- Recorder compatibility: Verify maximum capacity and firmware requirements.
- Installation: Confirm mounting, cooling and power requirements.
- Warranty: Review the applicable product terms.
