The WD My Passport 4TB External HDD is a portable storage device designed for exporting, transferring, backing up, and archiving CCTV video recordings, security incident footage, photographs, and other digital evidence. It connects to compatible computers through USB and provides 4TB of storage capacity.
The WD 4TB external hard drive provides portable storage for security departments and CCTV control rooms that need to retain and transfer video evidence from their video management systems (VMS).
In a GEUTEBRÜCK or Axis CCTV installation, authorized operators can export selected video recordings to the external drive for incident investigation, secure transfer, backup, and authorized review.
The WD My Passport series supports USB connectivity and offers password protection and 256-bit AES hardware encryption on supported models. These features can help protect sensitive evidence during storage and transfer.
For evidence handling, the exported files should be verified, properly labelled, and managed according to the organization's evidence-retention and chain-of-custody procedures.
