Storage

Hard drives and memory cards built to record continuously, 24 hours a day.

What you'll find in this collection

• 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 TB SATA hard drives with a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, to fit inside the recorder.
• microSD cards with high endurance, including the 32, 64 and 256 GB Hikvision Class 10 U1 models, for IP and WiFi cameras that record locally.
• USB flash drives for exporting and handing over footage.

How much space do you need? As a rough guide, four 4 MP cameras recording on motion detection fill around 1 TB a month. If you record continuously, reckon on three times that. And always use drives designed for video surveillance: an ordinary desktop drive isn't built to write non-stop and fails far sooner.

Still without a recorder? They're in Recorders.
