Frame drop is one of the key problems in IP surveillance systems. The consequence of dropped frames is recording gaps, which translate into lost images that can consequently mean loss of valuable business intelligence or severe financial damages.

Video surveillance storage
To solve this problem, Rasilient Systems, a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of purpose-built surveillance recording servers and storage systems partners with
Seagate to include Skyhawk drives in all their systems. We are an open platform focusing on mission-critical projects where loss of video is not an option, explained
Bing Wan, Director of Middle East Operations at Rasilient Systems. We offer high availability, high scalability enterprise-level IP surveillance storage solutions. A typical project has hundreds to thousands of cameras and high storage requirements.
A major city in Northern California's Bay Area region turned to Rasilient when potentially important security video recordings were turning up with random missing frames and video. Their first installation was in January 2016, right before the 50th
Super Bowl and related public activities and events. Video surveillance systems played a key role in securing the safety of the Super Bowl. Inside and outside the stadium, video surveillance systems were used to assist in managing traffic and alerting authorities of any abnormal behaviors or movements that could be a potential threat to public safety. The stadium alone hosted 500-plus cameras recording 24×7.
In that single day, it is estimated that Levi's Stadium recorded over 22TB of video surveillance, retaining that video recording for a minimum of 90 days.
Some of the company's other projects include Abu Dhabi's Central Market, which entailed 2200 cameras and 3.2 petabytes of storage, and the Imam Hussein Shrine in
Iraq, which has 1230 cameras and four petabytes worth of storage for monitoring and recording the movement of 30 million visitors annually.
Rasilient sought to design a recording server combined with a storage system that could support up to 1000 cameras and over one petabyte of storage. We wanted an NFD (no frame drop) system to be the basic building block of large projects.
For example, we recently had a project in Qatar with over 2600 cameras and eight petabytes of storage that used several of these systems, explained Wan.
