Seagate and Dahua Teamed up for Smart and Safer Cities

Smart cities, as a concept, are safer cities.

Urban planners dream of “Smart Cities” that use new technologies to gather comprehensive data and algorithms. The data is helpful to achieve increased efficiency, sustainability, and safety. Many of these technologies involve cameras and data storage that can be tasked with jobs that range from keeping track of traffic to monitoring peace and order in the city.

Seagate Technology, a world leader in storage solutions and Dahua Technology, a world-leading video-centric IoT solution and service provider, teamed up to deliver the next wave of highly intelligent video surveillance servers with DAHUA IVSS and Skyhawk AI.

Smart City, Safe Living

Dahua’s safe city solution provides an integrated platform and intelligent technologies to ensure cities are well guarded and efficiently run by providing end-to-end solution through the use of surveillance technology. The promoted surveillance camera technology provides and end-to-end solution.

Enhanced features like cutting-edge face recognition which boasts of 99.8% accuracy, Abnormal Behavior Detection, License Plate Recognition, and Traffic Violation Detection.  The safe city platform is tasked with unified command and centralized data storage to provide rapid emergency response or cross-department information sharing among authorities.

Dahua Technology also provides Mobile Enforcement that enables location detection and video footage sharing to security centers via 3G or 4G for faster and more accurate actions.

Dahua solution provides good quality video images and smart detection in any weather conditions. After being widely used by many cities, the Dahua safe city solution has been proven to be both efficient and effective in protecting the safety within a city.

AI -Enabled Surveillance

Because Seagate understands the unique data storage challenges of providing safe and highly intelligent video surveillance servers, it teamed up with Dahua Technology with its Skyhawk and Skyhawk AI, the first drive created specifically for AI-enabled video surveillance solutions.

SkyHawk AI provides bandwidth and processing power to manage always-on, data-intensive workloads, while simultaneously analyzing and recording footage from 64 HD cameras. It also supports 16 AI cameras with minimized dropped frames and reduced downtime, and can withstand 24/7 operations. Equipped with Seagate ImagePerfect AI firmware, it can record high quality, sharp video footage while simultaneously facilitating AI-enabled NVR analytics that ensures files gathered through video surveillance are properly stored and easily accessible.

The SkyHawk storage capacity ranges from 1 TB up to 14 TB and with a workload capacity of 180 TB per year for the normal Skyhawk, while the Skyhawk AI can withstand up to 550 TB workload per year.

Dahua Technology made an early start in AI applications and has since made several achievements in the industry with the launch of their IVSS series. Through this partnership, Seagate’s advanced technology complements Dahua’s data storage challenges with their facial recognition, ANPR, PFA and other advanced video analytics features.  In addition, this strategic partnership between Dahua Technology and Seagate can boost the AI application across the surveillance industry
