Western Digital provides secure, uninterrupted surveillance with its Purple microSD card

This Western Digital surveillance card delivers reliable video capture for network cameras and edge systems.

The card Western Digital Purple microSD joins the company's Edge-to-Core surveillance product portfolio, to offer real-time solutions to capture, transform, preserve and access video surveillance data

Specifically designed for the latest network cameras in surveillance and edge systems, This new card is optimized for video capture 24/7 and high performance, allowing surveillance system companies to support the continuous workload that this work entails.

Purple microSD captures and preserves videos in both high definition and 4K Ultra HD, also providing agile support to central data systems to analyze the contents and obtain information quickly. Besides, offers moisture resistance for use in changing environmental conditions, with reliable video capture.

“From Big Data to Fast Data, passing through data-centric applications such as surveillance; the volume, velocidad, variety and value of data continue to grow and transform exponentially. The Purple microSD card is the ideal solution for edge commercial surveillance data.”, Christopher Bergey has pointed out, vp. of embedded and integrated solutions from Western Digital.

Western Digital Purple microSD can be combined with the company's well-known hard drives, like Purple Surveillance HDD to support high capacity NVR and DVR, and Ultrastar HDD series, for use on back-end servers performing surveillance analysis. Together, provide surveillance system integrators and installers with a complete solution to capture, keep, Access and transform edge-to-core surveillance data.

Besides, Western Digital offers manufacturers SanDisk Industrial grade card storage solutions for use with cameras with built-in analytics capabilities and a variety of connected surveillance applications.

Michael Palma, director of semiconductor research at the consulting firm IDC, points out that “current surveillance systems go beyond simply capturing low-resolution video, evolving into massive networks that capture 4K video and leveraging new analytics software to unlock new business value from recordings. The result is an increase in the volume and velocity of edge surveillance data, which is driving demand for storage solutions that support 4K video performance requirements, operación 24/7 and video motion for smart insights”.

The new microSD card will be available worldwide this April from Western Digital's network of authorized resellers., with capacity 32 y 64 GB, in packages of twenty-five units for installers and integrators of surveillance systems.
