Engineered specifically for surveillance and video analytics applications, the Surveillance HDD is a world-class drive that employs data recovery services designed to restore data from malice or accidental failure, keeping systems in the field longer and reducing post deployment expenses.



Over 413 petabytes of data are produced in just one day by video surveillance cameras installed worldwide in 20131 that s 150,000 petabytes of data every year, most of which are stored on high-capacity surveillance systems for archive or video analytics purposes, said Scott Horn, Seagate vice president of marketing. That data is invaluable to the user to either meet industry regulations or leverage for content analysis or security so when data loss occurs it s an expense to the customer. Seagate s Surveillance HDD with Rescue services addresses this issue head on and alleviates these concerns.

Over 50 percent of users who had an accident with their drive have experienced data loss, said Balaji Thangaraj, vice president for research at Boston Analytics. The Seagate Surveillance HDD with Seagate Rescue Services provides consumers and system integrators alike with the critical reliability they expect in an easy, affordable solution, enabling them to gain peace of mind that their content is protected.

Seagate s expansion not only into a new capacity but into a new business with their Rescue services is an exciting endeavor for both Seagate and Dahua, said Lu Yacong, CTO of sales center, Dahua Technology. Systems reliability has always been a primary focus for us both, but Rescue services goes a step beyond allowing our customers the unique opportunity to protect their data from the unpredictable.
