Create HDD groups
If you have more than one HDD installed, you can change the behavior of a HDD by changing
its property. It can be set to read-only or read/write (R/W). The storage mode must be set to
Group
before setting the HDD property.
A HDD can be set to read-only to avoid important recorded files from being overwritten when
the HDD becomes full.
To change a HDD status property:
1. From the menu toolbar, click
Storage Management
>
HDD Information
.
2. Select the HDD whose property you want to change.
3. Click the
Edit
icon
. The
Local HDD Settings
window appears.
Note
: The Edit icon is only available if there are at least two HDDs installed.
4. Click the desired HDD property for the selected HDD: R/W or Read Only.
5. Click the group number for this HDD.
6. Click
Apply
to save and exit the window.
Note
: Once set to read-only, the HDD cannot be used to save recorded files 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 is then recorded to the next HDD. If there is only one HDD present, setting it to read-
only means the recorder cannot record.
Set up HDD sleep mode
You can set the HDD to enter standby mode, or sleep mode, after a period of inactivity. Sleep
mode decreases the power consumption of a HDD.
To enable HDD sleep mode:
1. From the menu toolbar, click
Storage Management
>
Storage Mode
.
2. Check Enable
HDD Sleeping
to enable sleep mode. Default is Enable.
3. Click
Apply
to save the settings.
4. Continue to configure the recorder or click
Exit
to return to live view.
S.M.A.R.T. settings
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) reports on a variety of hard
drive attributes. It helps ensure that the HDD is functioning properly at all times while protecting
video stored on the hard drive.
