Is 2TB enough for a shop with 8 cameras?

Yes, 2TB is comfortable for 8 cameras at 1080p giving you 25–30 days of footage with H.265+ compression — plenty for most commercial requirements.

Can I use two 1TB drives instead of one 2TB?

You can if your DVR has two HDD bays. A single 2TB drive is simpler and slightly more reliable than two drives in most cases.

Is 2TB or 4TB better for a home with 4 cameras?

For 4 cameras at 1080p, 1TB gives you 25+ days. 2TB gives you 55+ days. Most homeowners find 1TB sufficient. Choose 2TB if you want longer retention.

What is the difference between this and the 1TB model?

The 2TB model has double the storage capacity and a larger 256MB cache vs 64MB in the 1TB model. Cache size helps with multi-channel recording performance.

Product Description

The Seagate SkyHawk 2TB Surveillance HDD is the ideal storage solution for 8-camera CCTV systems or anyone who wants extended footage retention without frequent loop-overs. With 2TB capacity and H.265+ compression, you can store:

- 8 cameras at 1080p: approximately 30 days of footage - 4 cameras at 4MP: approximately 20 days of footage - 4 cameras at 1080p: approximately 55+ days of footage

All the same SkyHawk reliability features apply: ImagePerfect firmware, SkyHawk Health Management, and a 180TB/year workload rating for true 24/7 durability.

The 256MB cache (vs 64MB in the 1TB model) provides faster write speeds during high-bitrate multi-channel recording, reducing any possibility of dropped frames during busy recording periods.

For commercial CCTV installations in Kottayam shops, offices, and businesses where footage retention is important (for insurance purposes, legal evidence, or auditing), the 2TB drive provides comfortable storage without daily monitoring.
