Description

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The Seagate SkyHawk AI 12TB is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for network video recorder (NVR) systems, including AI-enabled NVR setups. It uses a helium-sealed design with CMR recording technology and connects via SATA. The drive is rated for a 550TB per year workload and supports up to 64 HD video streams alongside 32 AI streams, making it suited to multi-camera surveillance installations that also run AI video analysis. Built-in rotational vibration sensors help maintain consistent performance across multi-bay NVR enclosures. It is intended for surveillance operators and installers who need continuous, always-on recording capacity rather than everyday desktop storage.

KEY FEATURES

AI Firmware: ImagePerfect AI firmware is built to avoid dropped frames while supporting heavier AI recording workloads.
Multi-Stream Support: Handles up to 64 HD video streams and 32 AI streams for large-scale NVR deployments.
High Workload Rating: Rated for 550TB per year, more than 3 times the rating of a standard surveillance hard drive.
Helium-Sealed Build: Uses a helium-sealed 3.5 inch design for consistent, low-vibration operation.
Vibration Sensors: Built-in rotational vibration sensors help sustain performance in multi-bay NVR systems.
