Basically title of this thread - can I use a WD Gold drive (instead of a WD Purple) in any NVR that records 24/7 surveillance video?
 
I don't see why not. I have a mix of WD Red, WD Red white label, WD Purple, Seagate Exos in various 8TB, 12TB, 10TB, 14TB in my Dahua and Hikvision NVRs

There was a time when the interface was/might be different on an Enterprise drive. But a quick google search shows a SATA interface. Server/enterprise were not concerned about noise, that might be your only condsideration.
Their UltraStar Data Center drives appear to be in available in SAS and SATA interfaces.
