With the advancement of technology, the application of artificial intelligence to surveillance devices such as cameras has become more popular. Not only contributing to maintaining security, order and monitoring operations, today's smart camera systems also replace human labor in performing analysis, notification and warning tasks in many different fields from healthcare, business operations, traffic coordination and the environment.

The above trend has opened up new opportunities for technology units to start producing and developing AI camera services to keep up with this current demand.

When it comes to AI camera development, the system needs to have a synchronous development in which the storage system plays a significant role in the development of products and services for monitoring and operating through cameras.

The goal of surveillance systems is to collect data for monitoring, operation and analysis purposes. Therefore, data is an important part of the camera system. Especially for AI camera systems, the amount of data is not simply images and sounds, but the quality must be good enough, detailed enough and informative enough to be analyzed before taking further actions.

With such a large amount of data, the storage system not only needs to have large capacity but also must ensure that the information is fully and consistently saved, requiring components that meet the needs of AI cameras, especially drives, the official data storage part of a camera system.

As one of the big and long-standing brands that manufacture storage products. Western Digital's WD Purple and Purple Pro product lines are specialized products designed to meet the most essential needs of a camera system. Especially with the current AI camera trend, the new products of this brand are also improved to meet the needs of integrating artificial intelligence in surveillance systems.

In terms of reputation, Western Digital has proven its ability by having more than 40% of the world's stored data on its products. With a 10-year history of development in the storage industry dedicated to surveillance cameras, WD Purple and Purple Pro products are constantly improved and optimized for all needs in the industry from simple to modern.

WD Purple and WD Purple Pro are a suitable choice for storage systems for AI cameras. Manufactured to meet 24/7 continuous recording operations, WD Purple and Purple Pro hard drives use components with a longer life than conventional products, along with the hard drive's operating mechanism that allows for reduced power consumption to maintain the operation of DVR/NVR recorders.

Exclusive AllFrame technology on WD Purple and Purple Pro helps to efficiently manage stored content, avoiding errors that interrupt or distort the monitoring or data analysis process on AI servers.

Especially with the WD Purple Pro series, the manufacturer also added 32 data transmission channels for AI in addition to the ability to record on 64 cameras at the same time. The data recording performance allows large systems to operate efficiently and smoothly with diverse analytical data, meeting all needs of using AI cameras.
