USB Flash Drives
The system is compatible with most major brands of USB flash drives, with capacities from 256 MB to 4 GB. If
you need to reformat your flash drive then click on the U DISK FORMAT button while the USB drive is connected
to the USB port on the front of the DVR. Be aware that this button is not for use with any external USB hard drive
you may connect to the DVR for backup. External hard drives will need to be formatted using the FAT32 format
and this can be done by connecting the drive to the USB port on a PC and reformatting it from there.
