System Image Recovery
In the event your system has become corrupted or unusable in any way, or you simply wish to reload
your system to its factory default operating system image, the appliance offers an image recovery
mechanism. This mechanism will restore your unit to the original factory deployed state.
Doing so will delete all data on the boot drive of the system; any applications or data files which were
not part of the original factory image will be lost. No information on the internal or external video
recording hard drive(s) will be affected by the recovery of the factory image.
This procedure must be performed locally with a mouse, keyboard and monitor connected to the
appliance being restored.
