The data produced by surveillance is increasing rapidly. New ways of recording are gaining prominence in the form of body cameras, drones, dash cams and a huge amount of traditional security cameras. 45Drives is here to help you get the densest, most affordable storage on the market today.
You shouldn’t be spending all your money on infrastructure. Open-source, open-platform, and fully supported – the Storinator won’t just store your data, it will save you money and headaches. Scale one drive at a time, or add servers into your system as needed while still functioning as a single unit. Save your budget, avoid vendor lock-in, and never run out of storage.
The world is changing and many policing organizations are adopting mandatory body-worn cameras (BWC’s). The cameras themselves are not very expensive, but storing and retaining all that data generated by BWCs certainly can be. With this requirement on the rise and the need for storing digital forensics – your IT team can’t afford to run out of storage.
To give you a better understanding of the Storinator's capabilities, below are examples of how many 4K cameras a Storinator can manage using maximum throughput in different resolutions.
