Purpose Built Video Storage
The major component of a surveillance system is the storage, which acts as the engine of the entire solution. These devices manage one or more cameras and the storage subsystem. The storage component may be internal, fixed, captive DAS storage or may employ some type of external storage.
The DVR/NVR receives video frames from connected cameras, converts the frames into digital IO (input/output), and then writes the IOs to the storage subsystem.
The storage system must be able to scale to satisfy the retention/capacity requirement. It should also satisfy performance requirements of the overall video surveillance system.
There are several types of storage systems common in IT and in physical security systems. However, a well- designed IP-SAN (IP-based Storage Area Network) is typically superior for video surveillance deployments. It is a better choice when it comes to cost, performance, reliability and scalability.
