The Silent Threat To Video Surveillance Storage: Unrecoverable Read Errors And How To Mitigate Them

As video surveillance systems expand to cover more cameras, higher resolutions, and longer retention periods, the reliability of storage infrastructure is more critical than ever. One of the most underrated threats is the Unrecoverable Read Error (URE), which can silently corrupt or destroy archived footage. While RAID arrays remain a mainstay for active surveillance data, LTO tape offers a robust solution-not only avoiding UREs entirely but also enabling video storage for much longer periods than disk-based systems.
