COP Security, the trade only CCTV products distributor report their continual partnership with Western Digital, with the use of WD’s latest Purple hard drives in all the distributor’s DVRs.
For over five years COP’s technical partnership with WD, one of the world’s largest computer hard disk drive manufacturers, has supported COP to produce a raft of digital recorders. This latest development sees COP choose WD’s Purple hard drive for use in their Inspire Black, Blue, Red and HD-SDI models.
Typically, the Lancashire-based firm says, most other DVRs employ desk-top hard drives that are designed for IT data storage and built to run only for short intervals, and not for the demand of the ‘always-on’, high definition video storage. However, WD Purple hard drives are purpose-built for mainstream video-surveillance applications, being designed for the video-surveillance where the drive can spend more than 95 percent of its time in ‘write’ mode. With AllFrame technology and ATA streaming to reduce frame loss and error pixilation, the WD Purple surveillance-class hard drives now fitted to all COP DVRs offer the distributor says low power consumption and improved high definition playback.
Gareth Rhodes, COP Security’s Sales and Marketing Executive, says: “We are very proud of our long-standing partnership with Western Digital and the technical advantages we gain by employing their world-class drives within the COP DVR range.
“WD Purple hard drives are specifically engineered to provide optimal results when used in image storage applications, delivering improved HD video playback within the demands of 24×7 surveillance applications. COP is committed to offering its customers cutting-edge CCTV technology, and the constant evolution of our DVR products and use of WD hard drives underlines that commitment.” Visit www.cop-eu.com.
