Western Digital Introduces Surveillance-Class Storage Solution

Western Digital® WD Purple® SC QD312 Extreme Endurance microSD™ card was developed for AI-enabled security cameras, smart video surveillance and advanced edge devices that capture and store video at higher bit rates than mainstream cameras.

With the migration to 4K and higher video resolutions, and the introduction of more smart cameras with built-in AI and improved local processing capabilities, surveillance cameras need to be able to store both video and raw data to facilitate these AI capabilities. As a result, storage with higher capacity, more intelligence and greater durability is increasingly required.

Expanding upon four generations of world-class industrial storage products, the Western Digital WD Purple SC QD312 Extreme Endurance microSD card addresses the tremendous growth of high-resolution security video with its rich feature set. The small form factor storage solution was created to meet the demands of extreme endurance, high capacity and challenging environments for the edge storage to confidently store high-quality video while reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Surveillance customers look to durable and reliable devices with intelligent monitoring to save time. The microSD card is equipped with the power of 3D NAND which ensures no-compromise, primary, on-camera storage for high bit-rate video and advanced functionality for some of the latest AI-enabled smart cameras.
