Advantageously digital CCTV systems provide more features and remarkable benefits like higher resolutions and frams per second, immediate access to a specific time and specified camera- no quality loss when copying the video material; greater digital memory capacity in the same size of appliance; and improved service life and reduced maintenance.Former analog CCTV systems recorded events onto Video tapes. If an incident occured, a singlevideo cassette would be handed over to the police as evidence. The Police faced the time consuming task of searching back and forth on the recording tape in order to find the needed events. VCR recorders have many sophisticated parts, making them prone to wear and tear.The tapes themselves deterioate in quality over the years and with repeated use.
As digital surveillance increases in popularity, data storage becomes an importantkey factor
especially when monitoring large installations. There is a range of options available to store CCTV footage depending on the data capacity requirements.
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) systems are used to protect computer data against hard drive failure, while increasing system performance and enabling easy expansion for larger storage. This technology is designed for any organization that requires high capacity storage, 24x7 data protection, shared access, and simplified capacity expansion.
