India's CCTV market projected to reach $8.43 billion by 2028
This growth is driven by the expanding use of smart video applications, requiring specialized storage solutions
The evolving landscape of CCTV applications, extending beyond traditional security use cases, emphasizes the significance of smart video in diverse sectors such as retail management and transportation. With an array of cameras, ranging from user-friendly options to advanced artificial intelligence (AI) integrated devices, the CCTV market in India is projected to grow significantly, from $3.30 billion to $8.43 billion by 2028.
Among the crucial components for a smart video setup, specialized storage plays a pivotal role. Efficient CCTV operations require high-capacity storage solutions to accommodate 24/7 video capture. Whether utilizing on-camera microSDTM cards or hard disk drives (HDDs), investing in substantial storage is imperative. The WD Purple Pro Smart Video HDD by Western Digital, offering up to 22TB storage capacities, stands out as an ideal companion for CCTV setups. Similarly, the on-camera storage option, WD Purple SC QD101 Ultra Endurance microSD Card, provides storage capacities up to 1TB.

CCTV storage solutions demand higher endurance to endure challenging weather conditions and minimize downtime. Given the often inaccessible placement of cameras, selecting storage solutions with robust endurance becomes essential. WD Purple microSD cards, purpose-built for CCTV setups, provide the necessary robustness, performance, and reliability required for an always-on environment. Not all storage solutions can sustain elevated performance levels in an always-on environment. Choosing storage designed to handle 24/7 smart video workloads is crucial.
