With a rise in smart camera devices featuring higher resolutions driving the requirement for high speed, high capacity on-device storage in smart city environments, manufacturers are looking for solutions to optimise storage for video and AI analytics. Western Digital has addressed this by offering new WD Purple storage drives.

According to IHS Markit research, professional video surveillance is expected to grow from 140 million to 224 million worldwide between 2018 and 2023. Onboard storage requirements are due to follow this growth pattern by 17% per year. With 4k video becoming more common in these surveillance cameras, this illustrates a fast-growing demand for more high-performance storage.

Western Digital has launched the WD Purple SC QD101 Ultra Endurance microSD card that is specifically designed to meet the requirements of modern on-camera storage. The WD Purple SC QD101 features Western Digital’s advanced 96-layer 3D NAND technology, delivering a combination of ultra-endurance and high-performance storage with capacities up to 512GB.

The WD Purple microSD is designed for security system integrators and installers and includes a card health monitor that provides the ability to gauge the remaining endurance and pre-emptively service the card if required. The WD Purple SC QD101 microSD card is available in 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 521GB capacities.

In addition, Western Digital has introduced the WD Purple 14TB HDD for a wide range of security systems. Like other devices in the Western Digital locker, WD Purple HDDs are designed for 24/7 always-on, high definition security surveillance systems and feature Western Digital’s AllFrame technology, which improves video capture by reducing errors, pixilation and video interruptions.

The 14TB WD Purple HDD is available now. The WD Purple SC QD101 microSD card is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2020.

KitGuru says: Even though the Western Digital Purple microSD cards are designed for professional security system cameras, they could also be used by mainstream consumers for video recording, which should provide excellent performance.

Net Dream Systems, an IT and audio-visual consultant, has created a technology management system that monitors all active technologies on board super yachts in real time and then predicts possible IT problems. Obviously right now, this technology is only relevant to rich super yacht owning individuals but that could change with the rise in automated in-home devices such as smart thermo-stats, phones and pretty much anything else that can connect to a network. Maybe one day our homes will come pre-installed with monitoring technologies, letting us know how all of our every day devices are performing as explained
in this article
about home security systems.

The monitoring system  has only been installed on five yachts so far and is built to monitor anything connected to the network including: cameras, telephones, network switches, servers, storage devices, touch panels, WiFi access points, entry systems, satellite receivers and more from one single interface.

Superyacht

Nishan de Silva, CEO of Net Dream Systems, said to Yachting Pages: “The management systems provide a graphical representation in real time of your entire infrastructure; green lights indicate that everything is working as it should and yellow lights signify a potential issue. For example we can track the disk space on your servers or the ambient temperature, setting the alerts around agreed parameters. If the server reaches 70% disk usage the graphical representation on the monitoring system will flash yellow, when it reaches 90% it will flash red to indicate a lack of disk space going forward. We audit the IT infrastructure and configure the system to individual needs.  It’s great for engineers and captains, giving crews a cost effective way of sorting out potential problems before the owner returns in two weeks’ time for example.”

Technology is a huge part of the superyacht sector and alongside IT and internet services and entertainment and AV, security is becoming a worldwide concern, investment in alarm systems, cameras, hidden chambers and tracking devices have soared.

KitGuru Says: While right now this technology isn't that relevant to the average consumer, one day systems like this might become the norm as our homes become more connected.
