Do you have any recommendation for tape storage device?
Thanks.

What is the desire for 3 years of online viewing?
Cold storage of some kind would be best for most people.
Also When moved to cold storage, things could be compressed to H265 or some other highly efficient codec that the NVR is not likely using.

Government directive. Put a non IT person in charge of an IT department and this is what happens.

Something like this, probably. My guess is LTO7 will be the right fit for you. But LTO6 might be, too.

There ARE robots for that. That's what big companies typically do.

That is what he linked, a self contained loader. At least that is what it looks like.

What he linked was just a single drive, at least what I saw at Newegg.

He quoted you. You linked a library.

I started with a cheap single drive. There was no requirement stated to have it online and rarely is there. A human to load the odd tape now and again is typically not an issue.

Frankly, asking for that much storage and showing it as live NAS storage - I merely assumed he needed it online and live, otherwise why even look at that?

I'm pretty sure "online" was mentioned in the original question.
@JaredBusch ask "why the need for 3yr online" -

@JaredBusch ask "why the need for 3yr online"Jared asked what, not why and missed a comma.

@JaredBusch ask "why the need for 3yr online"It was not. I wondered why Jared mentioned that.

Who is going to be tasked with changing the tapes if using a single drive? Is that something they are going to keep up with in house??

I didn't say it - but I assume live data because the OP specifically posted about a live data solution. Though I think you mentioning tape was likely the best option.

I think, but I'm just guessing, that that was just a solution that he looked at. Most people don't even consider archival systems for something like this.

Would be weird to farm that out. It's normally like a once a week task if you don't want a robot. It only takes a second. Not a hard thing to do at all, changing a tape once a week. if the company can't organize that simple task, they aren't going to be around for three years to worry about it.

@scottalanmiller Yeah I just wonder if this is only surveillance related, do they even have an IT dept that can do it?
That autoloader that was linked above is only double the price of a single deck. Unreal how much decks cost.
