Recorder hard drives

by Mark Rowe

The Inspire range of digital recorders from COP Security uses Western Digital AV hard drives.

Inspire DVRs, designed and made by Oldham-based COP Security, uses Western Digital AV hard drives optimised for audio and video applications, according to the security firm.

Gareth Rhodes, sales and marketing executive at COP Security, said: “Western Digital 24/7 AV-rated, hard drives are designed for continuous use, reduced power consumption and quiet operation. Surveillance applications are extremely demanding for hard drives, as the DVRs record and retrieve video and audio data constantly. We use high-quality, Western Digital AV hard drives because they are engineered for continuous use. Our focus on product reliability means we avoid poorer quality hard drives, which can risk the loss of critical security data.”

COP fits the Inspire DVR’s hard drives in-house and soak-tests each recorder for a minimum of one week before dispatch. The company adds that the DVRs offer energy savings using these hard drives. IntelliPower balances spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms for optimal drive performance and gives power savings of up to 40 percent. The drives also run cooler, which helps to increase longevity.

Western Digital HDDs use Intelliseek and Intellipark, which reduces unnecessary power consumption, noise and vibration. Drives of this type enable the Inspire DVRs to record high resolution video, stream from multiple channels at once and retrieve data for ‘on-demand’ playback.
