ucnon to Network Video Security The video security industry has been in the process of transitioning from a mechanical, analog system of video recorded on VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) tapes to a dynamic, digitized system of video stored on a network. The first stage of this evolution was the replacement of the VCR by the DVR (Digital Video Recorder). The cameras were still analog but the storage device was digital. The DVR introduced video stored to hard disk rather than individual VCR tapes or magnetic tape libraries. This reduced the footprint of the video storage system in many large...

The video security industry has been in the process of transitioning from a mechanical, analog system of video recorded on VCR (Video Cartridge Recorder) tapes to a dynamic, digitized system of video stored on a network. The first stage of this evolution was the replacement of the VCR by the DVR (Digital Video Recorder). Real-Time Storage and Archive Storage Systems comprise of more than just the hard drives. NAS (Network Attached Storage) uses the flexibility of the network to make high capacity storage available directly from the network. An alternative technology of SAN (Storage Area...

This last option gives the benefits of high speed and reliable access to rcent video while taking advantage of the cost savings by using a storage farm for the video that is not needed for instant access. The issues surrounding video storage technologies and storage capacity are the fragility of the drive system. Hard drives are very susceptible to environmental influence. Heat, dust, and vibration are all factors that can cause a hard drive to fail. NAS (Network Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network) technologies can address some of these issues but at a much higher cost. NAS is...
