Know before you buy
Quick answers about the DS-A80648SI, and how it compares.
Do I need an NVR or recording server with this storage?
No. Cameras stream straight to this storage, so no recording server is needed, and it also records third-party cameras over ONVIF or RTSP. It can back up NVRs and DVRs on a schedule, and you manage everything in HikCentral. Use enterprise drives from its supported list, and choose the RAID level for the protection you need. Ask us to size the storage for your cameras and days of recording.
What happens to my recordings if a hard disk fails or the NVR is stolen?
With a microSD card in the camera, the last days of video stay inside the camera, even if the hard disk fails or thieves take the NVR. If the network drops, the camera records to the card and the NVR copies the gap back later. On the NVR side, RAID models (86xx, 96xx) lose nothing when one disk fails; other NVRs lose only the video on the failed disk.
