Product Features
NVR vs. DVR
WD offers the Power of Choice when
it comes to equipping a surveillance
system for your home or business
with the addition of WD Purple™ NV.
Designed specically for scalable
network video recorder (NVR)
surveillance systems,
WD Purple NV adds support for
systems with higher drive bay
congurations and up to
64 high-denition cameras.
The expanded workload capability
of WD Purple NV hard drives enables
the ability to handle increased video
streams, allows scalability beyond
the limitations of DVR systems where
only WD Purple
is applicable.
Increased Capabilities
Designed for higher temperatures
and always-on surveillance
environments, WD Purple NV hard
drives expand support for higher hard
drive bay congurations, systems
utilizing up to 64 high-denition
cameras, hardware vibration sensors
and greater workloads per year when
compared to WD Purple hard drives.
Included with the increased support,
WD Purple NV is also backwards
compatible with DVR systems.
Optimized performance
with AllFrame™
Inherited from WD Purple, WD’s
exclusive AllFrame technology boosts
write performance for WD Purple
NV hard drives by working with ATA
streaming commands to reduce
frame loss and improve streaming
playback. AllFrame also reduces
video interruptions that commonly
occur when desktop hard drives are
incorrectly used as storage in security
systems, especially in higher video
stream count environments where
additional data is being captured at
an exponential rate. WD Purple NV
with AllFrame provides the condence
you should expect when it’s time
to play back and review critical
surveillance footage in larger
surveillance congurations.
Premium Protection
Designed with tarnish resistant
components, WD Purple NV hard
drives offer premium protection
in harsh environments where
surveillance systems are commonly
installed including outdoor cabinets
where moisture and other natural
elements may be present.
This increased protection adds
reliability to the hard drive over time,
especially compared to desktop drives.
Support for High Camera
count Systems
WD Purple NV hard drives are
optimized to support systems
utilizing high-denition surveillance
cameras, giving you the exibility to
upgrade and expand your security
system in the future. Higher storage
capacities also allow you to store
the surveillance footage for a longer
period of time, especially in situations
when every second counts.
The specic number of cameras that
can be supported will be dependent
on a number of criteria including but
not limited to; types and capability
of cameras installed (resolution,
frames per second, additional
features) and the system’s hardware
and software capability.
Lower power consumption
Low power consumption is crucial
in high-temperature always-on
surveillance environments. With
exclusive IntelliSeek™ technology,
WD Purple NV hard drives calculate
the optimum seek speeds which
lowers power consumption, noise
and vibration that can damage
and cause drives to wear out more
quickly, increasing reliability.
3-year limited warranty
WD Purple NV hard drives are
backed by an impressive 3-year
limited warranty (worldwide) giving
you peace of mind that your precious
surveillance footage is secure no
matter where you are in the world.
