If you had chosen the option to overwrite then the Used portion will be equal to the Total
portion after reaching maximum recording capacity. The overwrite option will start
erasing earliest recorded data and replace it with current recording data. If you have
multiple hard disk drives installed, then first drive will be written and when data is full then
the DVR will start recording to the next available drive until they are all full. When all
drives all completely full, then earliest recorded data will be replaced with current recorded data. It is the
user’s responsibility to backup critical evidence information. If the evidence worth video is overwritten,
there is no option recover such data.
On the DVR system health status is represented in % sign, and in () it indicates the temperature of the
hard disk drive represented by Celsius.
Normal operating temperature of any hard disk drive should be in range of 0~60°C.
Recommended optimum temperature range is between 36°C and 47˚C (about 97°
Fahrenheit to 117° Fahrenheit). Every hard disk manufacturer may have different range
and tolerance, please consult with your hard disk manufacturer for operating temperature
range. If hard disk drive is running hotter than recommended temperature provided by
the hard disk manufacture, then please check to see if the DVR unit’s ventilation is not blocked and
check your room temperature immediately. Failure to do so will damage the DVR and the hard disk
drive.
