Hard disc drives manufacturer Seagate Technology has announced that the company’s Barracuda ES Series hard drives will be used exclusively in Avigilon’s High Definition Surveillance Systems.

“Our goal is to provide our customers and partners with state of the art storage solutions to enable best-in-class Surveillance systems,” said Marc Jourlait, vice president Global Marketing at Seagate.

The Barracuda ES hard drive has the capacity, reliability and enterprise features demanded by capacity-intensive 24x7 applications like enterprise IP video surveillance.

With the Barracuda ES hard drive, a single 16-megapixel Avigilon camera can take the place of 50 conventional surveillance cameras. The Avigilon High Definition Surveillance System delivers the image quality necessary to effectively protect the public and ensure the security of airports, seaports, borders and train stations.

Additionally, the combination of Avigilon’s multi-megapixel IP cameras, their high definition network video recorders and Barracuda ES Series hard drives decreases the amount of equipment required for a surveillance project, reducing installation and maintenance costs.

To date, every Avigilon High Definition Surveillance System has shipped with Seagate drives. To ensure sufficient recording time is possible, the drives are configured in fail-safe, industry-standard arrays, which ensure large volumes of data can be recorded and that the recordings are safe in the event of a hard drive failure.
