Frequently asked questions
Seagate SkyHawk CCTV storage questions
Clear answers to common planning and selection questions.
How much CCTV storage capacity do I need?
Capacity depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, recording schedule, codec and required retention days. Zerolink calculates usable capacity before recommending a drive.
Can a normal desktop hard drive be used in an NVR?
A compatible surveillance drive is preferred for continuous multi-camera recording. Recorder compatibility, workload, heat and bay configuration must still be checked.
What is the difference between SkyHawk and SkyHawk AI?
The families target different recorder, analytics and workload requirements. The exact model is selected only after confirming the NVR and recording design.
