Storage (HDD/Memory Cards) — Description

Storage solutions are essential for a surveillance system to keep recording reliably over a long period without stopping because a drive fills up. This category includes hard drives (HDDs) built for continuous video recording in NVRs and DVRs, as well as memory cards for compact Wi-Fi cameras. When choosing a storage medium, capacity and resistance to constant overwrite cycles both matter — a regular drive isn't built for this workload. The right storage keeps footage available exactly when you need it.
