Flash Drive Surveillance Cameras

My surveillance NVR came with a 2TB hard drive, with 8 cameras it needed more storage. This WD Purple 8TB provided that extra storage capacity.

Cameras easy to use and take great pictures. I use them for hunting and for surveillance around my property. I have several cameras.

use it for surveillance system to add a new hard drive. works fine.

If you're looking for a reliable and affordable hard drive for your surveillance DVR, this is a great choice.

surveillance camera can record non stop for one month including night vision and thermal power for measure a criminals height,weight and x-ray for face recognition and sound recognition with 6 terabytes on a form factor called the laptop. One terabyte micro sd card, sd card, internal disc, flash drive,ssd card and finally a compact flash..., all of them ....1 terabyte...awesome, no more crime ...erase previous recorded data and film for another one month.

The UNVR is surprisingly fast at loading up videos, scrolling through video, etc. Even with 8 G4 cameras (5 G4 Pros, 3 G4 Bullets). Setup was a breeze. The thing I don't like about this is the Protect mobile app can't discover it if it's on its own VLAN. I don't think a camera network -- particularly exterior cameras -- should be on a native network. I have it set so that only certain MAC addresses are authenticated on my camera VLAN (the cameras, UNVR, some Android tablets that I use as mobile camera viewers, and my Viewports). Our iPhones/iPads have to connect remotely since you can't specify an IP address (it relies 100% on discovery). Since UI doesn't implement mDNS reflection on all VLAN's correctly, it won't be discoverable. I'm thinking of using the RJ45 connection to my main LAN while the SFP+ is on my camera VLAN. There has been some discussion about failures due to a generic USB flash drive that was utilized for OS storage. The UNVR-Pro has eMMC flash memory instead of a USB flash drive. I can confirm that with newer versions (board revision 38 for me), the generic USB flash drive is gone. I'm guessing it's an eMMC memory module that's in its place.

I use Sandisk almost exclusively for compact flash and SD cards in my cameras and they've always been very reliable. This USB flash drive works just as well. But I will mention that I purchased this same one from Amazon and it failed on me after about 6 months and I also had a Lexar CF card from Amazon fail on me after one shoot, which leads me to believe the problems more to Amazon's quality control than the manufacturers. I now never buy memory from Amazon. I still trust Sandisk and this flash drive is still going strong for me.

It is a GOOD Flash Drive.

The best flash drive I have ever owned.
