Select OK to save and exit menu. 

 

Note:

 

Once set to read-only, the HDD cannot be written to until it is set back to read/write (R/W). If the HDD that is 

currently  being  written  to  is  set  to  read-only,  the  data  will  be  recorded  to  the  next  HDD.  If  there  is  only  one  HDD 
present, setting it to read-only will cause the DVR to not record. 

Setting HDD to Redundancy

 

In order to use HDD redundancy on your DVR, you will need to have at least two disk installed. Setting up HDD 
redundancy will allow your DVR to redundantly record a copy of the videos onto multiple drives as a safeguard against 
losing all your files in case of disk failures. 
 
To setup HDD redundancy: 
 

1.

 

Enter the HDD Management menu by clicking Menu > HDD. 

2.

 

Select HDD to setup redundancy on. 

3.

 

Select the Property button to enter the Property Settings menu, as shown in Figure 3. 

4.

 

Set 

HDD Status 

to 

Redundancy

. 

5.

 

Select OK to save and exit menu. 

 

Note:

 

The  HDD  that  is  set  to  redundancy  is  used  to  store  an  extra  copy  of  the  recording.  If  a  HDD  is  set  to 

redundancy, at least one HDD should be set to the R/W status. 

Checking HDD Status

 

You may check the status of any of the installed HDDs on your DVR at anytime. 
 
To check the status of a HDD: 
 

1. 

Enter the HDD Management menu by clicking Menu > HDD. 

2. 

The status of your HDD is listed under the 

Status 

column. If the status is listed as 

Normal 

or 

Hibernate

, 

the HDD is in working order. If it is listed as 

Abnormal 

and has already been initialized, the HDD 

needs to be replaced. If the HDD is 

Uninitialized

, you will need to initialize it before it can be use in 

your DVR. Please refer to 

Initializing HDDs

 for further instructions. 

 
You may also view the SMART information of installed HDDs. SMART, short for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and 
Reporting Technology is a monitoring system for hard disk drives to detect and report on various indicators of 
reliability in the hopes of anticipating failures. 
 
To view SMART information of a HDD: 
 

1.

 

Enter the Log Search menu, shown in Figure 4 by clicking Menu > Maintenance > Log.
