The invention discloses a helicopter photoelectric pod storage system and an implementation method thereof. The helicopter photoelectric pod storage system is arranged in a pod support and is connected with a main control unit of a pod; the helicopter photoelectric pod storage system further comprises a hard disk video storage device based on H.264 compression processing. By transforming and innovatively applying the storage system and improving the traditional tape-type data storage mode, the invention provides a novel polling pod video storage method, so that the time for changing a tape during flight hovering is not required, the operation continuity is guaranteed, the patrolling operation efficiency is largely improved, and the economic efficiency is very remarkable.
