The increased number of video streams and workload capability offered with the WD Purple NV hard drive enables scaling beyond the limitations of DVR systems.
Designed for higher temperatures and always-on surveillance environments, WD Purple NV hard drives are suited to higher hard drive bay configurations, systems utilising up to 64 HD cameras, feature hardware vibration sensors and greater workloads per year.
Inherited from WD Purple, WD’s exclusive AllFrame technology boosts write performance for WD Purple NV hard drives by working with ATA streaming commands to reduce frame loss and improve streaming playback.
WD Purple NV hard drives are optimised to support systems utilising high-definition surveillance cameras, giving the flexibility to upgrade and expand security systems in future.
Low power consumption is crucial in high-temperature always-on surveillance environments. With exclusive IntelliSeek technology, WD Purple NV hard drives calculate the optimum seek speeds which lowers power consumption, noise and vibration that can damage and cause drives to wear out more quickly, increasing reliability.
