Format Hard Disks
Any newly-installed hard disk has to be formatted into NVR file system format. Click “
Format
”
to start formatting a new disk. After formatting, this disk will become ready for recording.
During normal operation,
DO NOT REMOVE ANY DISK FROM THIS UNIT
, or it might cause
damage to the disks. You can only remove or install a disk when the device is shut down.
Please note that the system will stop recording during the disk formation.
Disk Deletion
When the total recordable disk space is full,
NVR will automatically delete the oldest files. A
n
amount of disk space equivalent with a ten-minute long recording will be cleared to save new
recordings.
Check Disk Status
Hard disk failure often comes after detectable signs and thus can be predicable, thus it is
important to detect these signs long before they really cause disk failures.
NVR performs
S.M.A.R.T
. Disk check on 24-hour basis since last check. This technology
enables a system to monitor the disk status and anticipate disk failures, helping the system
administrator to prevent from
unexpected outage and data loss.
You may manually perform an instant
S.M.A.R.T
check by clicking “
Refresh
”.
Once the
disk a appears in “
WARNING
”, “
FAILED
”, or “
UNKNOWN
” status, it is not reliable
for recording, and may fail when the number of bad sectors on the disk has grown high
enough.
