Seagate Technology recently unveiled the SV35, its latest hard disk drive (HDD) specifically for use in video security monitoring systems, with launch scheduled for next month, according to Seagate’s Taiwan office.
Market surveys by IMS Research showed that applications for security monitoring products for transportation and homes will grow the largest in the future, said vice president Ban Seng Teh for Asia Pacific Sales & Marketing of Seagate. The SV35 features better heat sink and lower power consumption than other HDD models for security monitoring purposes, Teh pointed out.
VHS recording tapes, generally used in the Taiwan security monitoring market currently, have average storage capacities of two to four hours, while the 500GB SV35 is able to store 23 days of video, according to sales and marketing director and general manager Daven Chang of Seagate’s Taiwan office.
