TECH BRIEF
Rarely has there been a more exciting and dynamic time
to be in the video surveillance industry. Technological
innovations, real-time access, video analytics and
affordability are all driving rapid market growth. Many of
the same technology advances are also enabling
unprecedented possibilities and flexibility in system
design--not only from a single device perspective, but
also in end-to-end topology deployment. Advanced video
storage technology, specifically surveillance-grade edge
storage, will play a critical role as a smart, reliable and
secure choice in video surveillance applications.
Edge Storage is not Just
for Data Backup
Today, most edge storage deployments are for enterprise
projects and function mainly in one of two use cases:
as backup to enhance system reliability (Figure 1), or
caching to optimize network traffic and cost (Figure 2).
One of the reasons edge storage is limited to these two
use cases is a lack of capacity and high-density storage
solutions. If a surveillance device is performing continuous
monitoring and recording, a 32GB or 64GB storage device
can only hold a few days of video storage before being
overwritten. Only when higher density edge storage devices
become available and affordable will it become possible to
retain multiple weeks of high-resolution video storage

· Recording Performance Does your edge storage solution meet your
service level agreement (SLA) for data quality? Continuous video record-
ing into a storage device can cause frame drop issues. Your edge storage
device must optimize its recording performance for surveillance usage to
reduce the risk of data loss.
Micron's Ultra High-Density Surveillance-Grade
edge Storage Solutions
Micron's surveillance-grade edge storage is built on industry-leading
64-layer Micron® 3D TLC NAND technology. Our newly released and
highly dense memory devices enable greater capacity in a smaller space
with more effective power usage enabling up to 30 days of surveillance
video storage in the camera itself, depending on bit rate and hours of
recording per day (Figure 5).
Surveillance-Grade edge Storage
Specifically designed for IP video surveillance workloads, Micron's indus-
trial microSD cards feature:
· Storage densities of 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB, enabling
more video to be stored at the edge and giving system designers increased
flexibility
· Three years of high-quality, continuous, 24x7 video recording in a
wide range of temperatures and environments
· Two million hours mean-time-to-failure (MTTF), or 0.44% annual-
ized failure rate (AFR), which is equal to or better than most surveillance
hard disk drives2
· Special firmware designed for continuous video recording that mini-
mizes frame drops and video capture
· Technology to self-monitor and provide usage information and
expected useful life remaining
How to Select a Suitable microSD Card
Micron has developed a storage calculator tool that enables you to select
the best surveillance-grade microSD card for your project. By entering
four key parameters, we provide you with our recommendation for a
best-fit solution3:
· Average recording bit rate (for example, 4 Mb/s)
· Average recording hours per day (for example, 8 hours)
· Minimum required video storage in days (for example, 14 days)
· Expected project / contract life time in years (for example, 3 years)
