CCTV Hard drives are used to store your footage. It's crucial to have your DVR or NVR that holds your hard drive kept somewhere safe because that’s where your footage is saved.
What could, however, cause your CCTV hard drive to fail?
At any time, a hard drive can fail. Hard drive failure can occur from a variety of causes, but all of them can result in the permanent loss of footage.
