Smart cities are cities of the future. It deploys AI technology and automated controls for traffic management, utility distribution, peace and order, payment collections, transportation services, among others. Smart cities, as a concept, are safer cities.
Urban planners envisioned Smart Cities as communities that utilizes new technologies to gather comprehensive data and algorithms to achieve increased efficiency, sustainability and safety. One of the technologies needed to make these smart cities possible are advanced and smart cameras. These cameras can help in city-wide monitoring for immediate action to traffic, emergency response, crisis and disaster management, crime prevention, and other human services. Dahua is a go-to provider.
However, the use of these smart cameras requires a fast, responsive, and scalable storage solutions with extensive data recovery capabilities. That’s where Seagate comes in. Seagate Technology, a world leader in storage solutions and Dahua Technology, a world-leading video centric IoT services, teamed up to deliver the next wave of highly intelligent video surveillance servers. The Dahua IVSS and Seagate Skyhawk AI partnership is an unbeatable tandem that makes cities better, safer, and smarter.
Seagate and Dahua’s answer to Smart City, Safe Living
Dahua’s safe city solution provides an integrated platform and intelligent technologies to ensure cities are well guarded and efficiently run. The company provided and end-to-end solution through the use their cutting-edge surveillance technologies, such as face recognition that boasts 99.8% accuracy, abnormal behavior detection (ABD), license plate recognition (LPR), and traffic violation detection (TVD).
Dahua provides a safe city platform that features a unified command and centralized data storage. The platform enables rapid emergency response or cross-department information sharing among authorities.
Dahua Technology also provides mobile enforcement solution that enables location detection and video footage sharing to security centers via 3G or 4G for faster and more accurate action.
Included in Dahua’s promise are good quality videos and images and smart detection in any weather conditions. After being widely used by many cities, the Dahua Safe City solution has been proven to be both efficient and effective.

AI-enabled surveillance and data processing
Seagate understands the unique data storage challenges of smart cities, so it teamed up with Dahua Technology using its Skyhawk and SKyhawk AI, the first drive created specifically for artificial intelligence-enabled video surveillance solutions.
SkyHawk AI provides bandwidth and processing power to manage always-on, data-intensive workloads, while simultaneously analyzing and recording footage from 64 HD cameras. It also supports 16 AI cameras with minimized dropped frames, reduced downtime and can withstand 24/7 operations. The drive is equipped with Seagate ImagePerfect AI firmware, which means it can record high quality, sharp video footages while simultaneously facilitating AI-enabled NVR analytics. The technology used ensures that the files gathered through video surveillance are properly stored and easily accessible.
The SkyHawk storage capacity ranges from 1 TB up to 14 TB and with a workload capacity of 180 TB per year for the normal Skyhawk, while the Skyhawk AI can withstand up to 550 TB workload per year.
Dahua Technology made an early start in AI applications and has since made several achievements in the industry with the launch of their IVSS series. Through this partnership, Seagate’s advanced technology complements Dahua’s data storage challenges with their facial recognition, automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR), predictive focus algorithm (PFA), and other advanced video analytics features. In addition, this strategic partnership between Dahua Technology and Seagate can boost the AI application across the surveillance industry.
