HDD (Hard disk drive)
●
Mega-pixel camera compatibility/
Large amount of storage
It is possible to record high-definition images (in SXGA size: 1
280 x 960) such as the image size captured by mega-pixel
cameras (equivalent to 4 times the pixels of a JPEG image in
VGA size (640 x 480)). This makes it possible to record a wide
angle view and to display zoomed images with minimal
blurring.
Up to 9 hard disk drives can be installed in the recorder to
record high-definition images for long period of time. In addi-
tion, up to 5 extension units can be connected to the recorder.
●
Replacement of the HDD units
It is easy to insert/remove the HDD units to/from the HDD slots
in the recorder.
("HDD unit" indicates a hard disk drive encased in the provided
HDD canister.)
When 2 or more HDD units are already installed, it is possible
to replace the HDD units without stopping the current
recording.
Replacement of the HDD units and maintenance can easily be
done by following the guidance displayed on the LCD.
The HDDs encased in the provided HDD canisters (hereinafter
referred as HDD units) can easily be installed/ removed in/from
this product.
Contact your dealer about purchasing/replacing the hard disk
drives (HDD units).
●
HDD management
The hard disk drives in the recorder are managed by virtually
dividing into 4 recording areas. (Refer to the setup instructions
(PDF).)
Only one of the 4 recording areas can be assigned to a single
hard disk drive.
Recorded data to be stored in each area is as follows.

event recording area or the copy area is created.

recorded by manual recording and the schedule recording
will be stored in the event recording area. When there is no
event recording area, images/audio recorded by the event
