Geovision 391-HD18TB-000 18TB Surveillance Hdd

Product Description

The GEOVISION 391-HD18TB-000 is an 18TB surveillance-grade hard drive designed for continuous-duty video recording applications. Unlike standard desktop drives, surveillance-grade HDDs are engineered to handle the sustained read/write workloads generated by multi-channel IP camera systems running around the clock. This drive is suited for installation into network video recorders (NVRs), digital video recorders (DVRs), and surveillance server builds where high-capacity, reliable storage is a core requirement. Installation is typically performed by security system integrators, IT technicians, or experienced surveillance professionals.

This drive is intended for use in professional video surveillance environments where large storage pools are needed to support extended retention periods across multiple camera channels. At 18TB, it provides substantial on-device capacity, reducing the frequency of drive swaps or storage expansion in high-channel-count systems. It is sold as a single unit and categorized under storage components for surveillance infrastructure deployments in both commercial and large-scale residential security applications.

Key Features

• 18TB capacity designed for high-channel, long-retention surveillance deployments
• Surveillance-grade engineering supports continuous 24/7 read/write workloads
• Single-unit packaging suitable for NVR, DVR, or server integration
• Positioned within the GEOVISION storage product line for system-matched deployments

Compatibility

Designed as a surveillance-grade hard drive replacement or expansion unit for NVR and DVR systems that accept standard 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. Verify enclosure bay size, interface type, and maximum supported drive capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Hard drive installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with surveillance storage systems. Always power down the NVR or DVR completely and discharge any static electricity before handling the drive. Avoid physical shock or dropping the drive during installation, as internal platters are sensitive to impact. Follow the recorder manufacturer's formatting and RAID configuration procedures after seating the drive.
