RAID 5 provides basic fault tolerance with good performance, but it cannot protect against multiple drive failures. RAID 5 with a hot spare improves fault tolerance by automatically replacing failed drives, but it still has the same limitation regarding multiple drive failures. RAID 6 offers a higher level of fault tolerance by using double parity, allowing for the simultaneous failure of up to two drives without data loss. However, it has higher write overhead and requires more drives for implementation compared to RAID 5.

The purpose of this article is to provide step by step instructions on how to successfully import video and storage devices from a DIVAR IP Recording Appliance to a BVMS standalone installation while retaining all existing recorded video.

This article describes how to configure a generic Microsoft Windows Server (2012 R2, 2016 or 2019) based server to serve as an iSCSI target for a Bosch video surveillance environment. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is most commonly used for the communication between computers and peripheral devices, such as hard drives. iSCSI enables devices to use SCSI over a network interface, therefore it makes a lot of sense for cameras to use iSCSI to record video. The camera is a small computer that needs a (network) connection to a "hard drive" to store video footage. In other systems this job is performed by the network video recorder (NVR).
