Here’s a real eye-opener. When it comes to today’s surveillance applications, ultra high-density edge storage solutions like the microSD cards from Micron are proving to be a real game changer. This new breed of edge solutions is built on the industry-leading 64-layer Micron 3D TLC NAND technology.
Older technologies could only hold a few days of video storage before being overwritten. Now depending on your bit rate and how many hours a day you are recording, you can store up to 30 days of video surveillance in the camera itself.
For some system designers, this means being able to eliminate the local network video recorder completely, dramatically lowering your TCO. These newfound capabilities have also enabled a new use case: primary storage. By packing more capacity into a smaller space and also being more effective with power usage, these next-gen edge storage solutions are definitely a new force to be reckoned with.
