In recent days, the 17th China International Exhibition on Public Safety and Security was held in Beijing, where a myriad of renowned enterprises engaging in security domain gathered to discuss the “new future of intelligent security”. To help build a reliable data foundation for the intelligent security industry, BIWIN Storage showcased its comprehensive industrial-grade storage solutions for security monitoring applications with a focus on “Storage Full Coverage, Security No Blind Spots”, along with multiple core industrial and automotive-grade products.
Starting from “Stability”, Evolving with Intelligent Surveillance
Peng Peng, General Manager of BIWIN Spec, interviewed by gongkong.com
With the accelerated penetration of intelligent technology in the security monitoring industry, storage products’ appetite for high capacity, performance and reliability is increasing at an incredible rate. The significant increase of individual video file sizes steered by the wide applications of 8K ultra-high definition technology and panoramic monitoring demands, coupled with policy requirements for long-term data retention, has enhanced the need for large-capacity storage. Meanwhile, analysis efficiency and real-time response capabilities required by video surveillance systems set high-performance standards for storage devices, particularly fast read and write of large amounts of data, and low latency to ensure real-time feedback of data analysis results. Furthermore, security monitoring is crucial to public safety, which means that its data recording must be highly stable and reliable. Any fluctuation in storage performance could lead to frame drops, imposing rigid requirements on the continuous stability of storage device operation.
Given the aforementioned characteristics of security monitoring industry, BIWIN Storage has expanded its efforts to cover every key metric of storage, namely capacity, performance, cost and power consumption, to offer industrial-grade SSDs and SD Cards & microSD Cards for customers involved in intelligent surveillance field through substantial research and development endeavors in large-capacity storage, video surveillance storage models, and industrial-grade storage applications. All series products are equipped with BIWIN’s self-developed firmware and capable of achieving data distribution based on video surveillance application scenarios, effectively reducing data write amplification caused by garbage collection (GC) due to scattered small data, thus ensuring stable data write bandwidth and extending storage product lifespan. BIWIN Spec has channeled significant resources into algorithm optimization and enhancement of hardware reliability and long-term stability, enabling its products to operate stably in harsh environments.
The BIWIN TDS Series SATA SSD adopts a high-performance SATA controller (DL), achieving sequential read and write speeds of up to 560MB/s and 510MB/s respectively. It supports standard temperature operation from -20℃ to 70℃ and features capabilities of data patrol, end-to-end data protection, data soft erasure, and S.M.A.R.T monitoring. The series also integrates 4K LDPC, SRAM ECC, and RAID functionalities to ensure data accuracy and integrity, enabling 24/7 uninterrupted operation to safeguard stable and sustained security monitoring operations.
The BIWIN TGP Series PCIe SSDs utilize industrial-grade controllers and industrial-grade TLC NAND, delivering sequential read and write speeds of up to 3400MB/s and 2800MB/s respectively, significantly improving data processing efficiency. These products support wide temperature operation from -40℃ to 85℃, to ensure stable operation in extreme environments. In terms of reliability, the series follows BIWIN’s industrial-grade testing specifications and demonstrates exceptional reliability. This SSD series also offers various customized value-added services including conformal coating, side/bottom filling, and anti-sulfuration design to comprehensively meet customer requirements.
BIWIN’s industrial-grade wide-temperature TGC 207 SD Card/TGC 209 microSD Card achieves transfer speeds of up to 160MB/s, covers capacity specifications from 32GB to 256GB, and operates in temperatures from -40℃ to 85℃. It supports stable continuous recording of 4K HD multi-channel video, unfazed by outdoor shooting, high-intensity work, complex road conditions, and various changing scenarios and thermal shock environments.
