5.1 Usage in Surveillance Systems

The Seagate Skyhawk drive is optimized for 24/7 surveillance workloads. Once installed and formatted in a compatible NVR or DVR, it will automatically begin storing video footage according to your system's configuration. Key operational aspects include:

• Gravació contínua: Designed for constant read/write operations typical of surveillance applications.
• ImagePerfect Firmware: Helps minimize dropped frames and downtime with a workload rating 3x that of desktop drives.

5.2 Gestió de dades

Managing data on your surveillance drive typically involves:

• Viewing Footage: Access recorded video through your NVR/DVR's interface or connected client software.
• Exporting Data: Most systems allow exporting specific video clips to external storage (e.g., USB drive).
• Storage Overwrite: Surveillance systems often automatically overwrite the oldest footage when the drive is full. Configure this setting within your NVR/DVR.

6. Manteniment
