Quantum 960H DVR range manual V1.2
[Select City]
Smart (HDD Watch Dog)
The Smart function allows the health of the Hard disk Drives to be monitored for bad sectors
and high temperatures.
Note:
Over time all Hard drives will develop bad sectors, this does not mean they have failed,
it is an indication that they are beginning to fail, this can be used as a preventative
maintenance tool, so drives can be swapped out before failing completely, so preventing the
loss of recorded images.
Once the NTP settings have been set, you must
then tell the DVR which time zone you are in. This
will allow it to offset any time differences if the
time server you contact is in a different zone.
Select City, the map screen will appear. Hover
over the city selection box, a drop down arrow will
appear, click on the arrow. A list of time zones will
be displayed. Select the time zone where the
Quantum is located.
Then click OK.
Smart can be turned on or off to monitor the
Disk sectors
The temperature can be set to a value,
above which it will alarm. The Q Plus is
rated to work up to +50 degrees C. It is
recommended to det the Temp to approx
+45 degrees. This will give the opportunity
to take preventative action, such as
improving ventilation to the unit.
Message can be turned On or Off, if On a
message will appear on the screen to warn
of potential problems.
