Megapixel video provides clearer pictures and the promise of advanced surveillance management, however the difficulty of selecting a reliable storage solution and the complex integration and maintenance loads associated with storage prevent many system integrators from developing this market. Surveon is well placed to meet this trend, with industry-leading expertise in the field of enterprise-storage and optimized video storage technologies, which we have leveraged to provide reliable, highly integrated, performance oriented storage solutions, featuring industrial-grade hardware designs and enterprise-grade hardware RAID platforms. This unique advantage gives Surveon the ability to provide full solutions for high retention period, mission critical IP video surveillance.

Challenges for Megapixel Video Recording

• High data rates caused by high resolution video streams.
• Large capacity requirements complicate equipment integration.
• Sustained data rates cause undue equipment wear and increase failure rates

According to reports storage and associated maintenance accounts for 40% of total surveillance project costs
