Western Digital Surveillance-Class Storage with Extreme Endurance for AI-Enabled Security

Western Digital Corp. last month unveiled the new Western Digital® WD Purple® SC QD312 Extreme Endurance microSD™ card for designers and manufacturers of AI-enabled security cameras, smart video surveillance and advanced edge devices that capture and store video at higher bit rates than mainstream cameras.

According to IHS Markit, global shipments of professional video surveillance cameras are expected to grow from 127 million to over 200 million between 2017 and 2022, and those with on-board storage are expected to grow by an average of approximately 19 percent per year1.

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.
