The volume of data generated by modern security systems, especially high-resolution network cameras, requires storage solutions built for scale and resilience. Managing extensive network camera storage efficiently and reliably is paramount. Hikvision addresses this critical need head-on with its powerful Hybrid-SAN architecture, exemplified by the robust 24-slot Double Controller Storage system.
High-Capacity Infrastructure: The 24-Slot Double Controller Advantage
Hikvision’s 24-slot chassis provides exceptional storage density, crucial for large-scale video retention. The dual-controller design ensures continuous operation; if one controller fails, the other seamlessly takes over, guaranteeing uninterrupted recording and access to vital network camera storage. This hardware foundation is engineered for mission-critical environments.
Performance Powerhouse: IPSAN Mode Capabilities
In traditional IPSAN mode, Hikvision Hybrid-SAN delivers impressive performance, essential for aggregating feeds from numerous cameras. The system supports recording for up to 300 channels simultaneously under specific configurations. More significantly, it achieves:
512-ch video recording performance (at 2 Mbps)
200-ch picture recording performance
This capacity ensures smooth operation even in complex, camera-dense installations.
Optimizing Network Camera Storage Workflows
The true versatility of Hikvision Hybrid-SAN lies beyond raw IPSAN numbers. Its integrated direct streaming capability allows storage devices to ingest video feeds directly from IP cameras, bypassing recording servers. This not only streamlines the data path but also enhances resilience and simplifies the overall network camera storage architecture, reducing potential points of failure.
Conclusion
Hikvision‘s Hybrid-SAN, particularly the 24-slot Double Controller platform, offers a compelling solution. It combines massive storage density, high availability through redundant controllers, robust IPSAN performance, and efficient direct streaming technology. This integrated approach provides the scalable, reliable, and high-performance network camera storage infrastructure required for modern, large-scale security operations.
