14.4.2 Setting the HDD Property
The HDD property can be set to <Redundancy>, <Read-only> or <Read/Write(R/W)>. Before setting the
HDD property, please set the storage mode to <Group> (
refer to step1-4 of
Chapter 14.4.1 Setting HDD
Groups
).
A HDD can be set to read-only to prevent important recorded files from being overwritten when the
HDD becomes full in overwrite recording mode.
When the HDD property is set to redundancy, the video can be recorded both onto the redundancy
HDD and the <R/W HDD> simultaneously so as to ensure high security and reliability of video data.

Note:
At least 2 hard disks must be installed on your NVR when you want to set a HDD to <Redundancy>, and there
