Episode 58- Define Storage Extension
DevicesππΉ
Introduction:
When it comes to surveillance recording,
the limitations of hard drive capacities and slots can pose challenges. This
article describes storage extension devices, exploring how these solutions
enhance the storage capabilities of both Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and
Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).
Hard
Drive Limitations:
NVRs typically offer a more generous range of hard
drive slots compared to DVRs. While advanced NVRs can boast up to 24 hard drive slots,
DVRs usually cap out at a
maximum of 8 slots. However, in scenarios where these capacities fall
short, innovative storage extension devices come into play.
Network
Video Storage Options:
To address the expanded storage, Network Video Storage (NVS) devices come to
the forefront. These devices encompass a spectrum of solutions, including Edge Video Storage (EVS),
Intelligent Video
Surveillance System (IVSS), Network Attached Storage (NAS), Storage Area Network (SAN), Direct Attached Storage
(DAS), and cloud storage.
Controlling these methods enables users to extend the number of recording days and overall storage capacity.
The arrival of 4K and higher-resolution cameras demands substantial storage resources.
By employing storage extension devices, users can tackle the storage demands posed by these advanced
camera technologies.
