As long as the surveillance system uses an SATA interface hard drive, then this should work just fine. Just be carefully choosing drives larger than 2 TB as the operating system used in your machine might not be able to access the entire capacity of the drive. I would check with the system manufacturer to be sure of any size limitations before I purchased a new drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This drive is a blue label ... good for desktops .. western digital makes drives for surveillance they are labelled purple. And made for those systems. They have better drives for what you need. Blue label drives are minimum speed for desktops. It may work for your setup but performance won't be good. Just ask a best buy salesperson for the purple drives.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You could use it, though I'd suggest the BLACK drives at a minimum. That being said the Western Digital Purple drives are specifically intended for this purpose and are strongly recommended.
