Choose to upgrade your storage from 1TB to 2, 4 or 10 when you desire longer archive times. Archive total time is dependent on many complicated factors but as a guide note the following scenario examples:
Increasing your camera count will reduce the above record archival times and increasing your storage size will increase your archival times.
The increasing Megapixel capacities of modern IP cameras is leading to a dramatic rise in storage requirements despite the use of the latest H.265 compression codec. For this reason all the latest generation Q-See NVRs support the latest generation Seagate Skyhawk 4 and 10TB surveillance grade storage drives. Store up to 32TB with 8x drives in the QT8716/32/64 recorders, 16TB with 4x drives in the brand new QT816 or simply replace the standard 1TB drive in the smaller QT874 and QT878 with a single 4TB for maximum storage archival times.
Seagate has been making drives specifically designed for CCTV surveillance for over ten years and the new Skyhawk range is designed for a workload rating of over 180TB per year with 1M hours MTBF and a 3 year limited manufacturers warranty.
This Seagate Skyhawk 4TB Surveillance drive is a great match for Perisale 8 and 16 Channel TVRs, the Q-See 8 channel NVRs such as the QT878 and the larger multiple drive recorders from Q-See such as the QT816, QT8732 and the QT8764 and this product code will allow you to upgrade the installed standard 1TB drive to the higher storage and high sustained write capacity 4TB Skyhawk Surveillance drive.
Choose a Seagate surveillance drive where high rates of write are required. As a guide these are some of the situation that we would recommend choosing Surveillance grade drives:
The Seagate Barracuda range of Desktop Personal Hard Drives are ideally suited to single SATA disk DVR, TVR and NVRs only. They provide highly reliable storage with write speeds suitable for one to four cameras in permanent write (24hour recording) 25fps 2MP mode or up to eight cameras in motion detect record mode or 16 cameras with high compression and low frame rates.
For situations of high bandwidth, heavy sustained write requirements typically with larger megapixel and number of cameras we recommend the Seagate Surveillance range. The higher sustained write speed and additional support for the extended SATA commands for additional write modes will ensure all camera frames are recorded and no "image jumping" occurs at playback.
