Features
- 2TB capacity, 3.5" SATA
- Internal drive for DVR and NVR
- Replaces an existing recorder drive
- Recording time depends on cameras and resolution
- Check your recorder's drive interface and size
A 2TB internal hard drive in the 3.5-inch SATA format, for storing recorded footage once it is fitted inside a compatible DVR or NVR. Use it to replace a drive in an existing recorder or to give a recorder supplied without storage its first drive.
At 2TB it holds more footage than a 1TB drive, which suits a recorder with several cameras or a longer retention period. Make sure the recorder accepts a drive of this size.
It is a 3.5-inch SATA drive for 24/7 continuous recording, which is what a DVR or NVR asks of its drive.
How long the footage lasts is not a fixed figure. It depends on how many cameras feed the recorder, their resolution and frame rate, the compression setting and the recording schedule. Recording on motion only cuts unneeded footage and helps keep older clips for longer.
Before ordering, check your recorder's manual for the supported drive interface, the physical size and any limit on drive capacity. Ask us before ordering if you are unsure. After fitting, initialise the drive from the recorder's menu.
Back up anything you need to keep before you swap a drive, because replacing the drive in a recorder starts the recording history again. A new drive also needs to be formatted by the recorder before it records.
