The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is the heart of your recording system. Because surveillance drives write data continuously 24/7, they significantly prone to failure after 3-4 years. CamHarbor offers on-site hard disk replacement and upgrade services with genuine surveillance-grade drives.
We don't just swap the drive; we analyze your storage needs. If you need more recording days, we upgrade you to a higher capacity (e.g., 1TB to 4TB). We use specialized Surveillance HDDs (like WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk) which are designed to handle multiple camera streams and prevent frame loss, unlike standard desktop drives.
Our service includes opening the DVR/NVR, cleaning out internal dust, installing the new drive, formatting it, and configuring the recording parameters. we also assist in backing up any critical data from the old drive if it is still partially readable.
